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, shared driveway issues, legal liabilities, and low property values to justify value in keeping.

The cemetery is not currently marked with any signage.  Visitors are welcome to visit sunrise to sunset.  The "NO TRESPASSING" signs apply primarily to developers and others with ill intent.  The cemetery is subject to closure weekdays for groundskeeping animals.

Anyone having anything to do with development of landlocked property is not welcome on cemetery property beyond the shared driveway.  You are subject to criminal trespass charges.  If you park on cemetery property (including block any of the shared driveway) and walk into the landlocked property, your vehicle will be towed without further warning.  Contact Sandy’s Towing at 1-800-762-4357 to retrieve your vehicle.  We do not tolerate landlocked users of which for decades through multiple owners, the majority have trashed and abused cemetery property.

Those simply visiting the cemetery are welcome to park in the grass, and enjoy their visit.  The security system is in place to protect the cemetery, the farm, our family, and lawful visitors.
