Please note: To avoid an unpleasant experience and conserve limited personal resources, we are not offering any services while we reclaim the cemetery.

The Narrows Pet Cemetery is Ohio's oldest remaining pet cemetery, established in 1926, with over 14,000 buried, including pet and human remains.  The cemetery was lost over several decades to debt, drug activity, and health code violations, followed by multiple foreclosures, and is now heavily overgrown.  The primary house, kennel, and multiple neighboring structures were demolished due to condition.

The cemetery is not currently marked with a sign on Frederick Pike for protection.  Visitors are welcome to visit sunrise to sunset.  The cemetery is subject to closure weekdays for groundskeeping.
