James Owens purchased Star Memorial Pet Crematory in 2017 from his parents, Robert and Patricia Owens, owners of Rowens Kennels. This family-owned and operated business was established in 1986 as an affiliate of Rowens Kennels. Star Memorial Pet Crematory has been a leader in the pet cremation industry for the Riverbend area for 33 years.

Caring for animals when they are here and when they have passed is what Star Memorial Pet Crematory and Rowens Kennels do best. Pets are an important part of life and family. The care that you provide during their life should be carried through their time of death. Star Memorial Pet Crematory will assist you with those arrangements through an alternative means of final disposition/cremation. This is accomplished in a clean, sanitary and modern facility utilizing intense heat and flame, thus returning the body to its original elements. 

Star Memorial Pet Crematory believes in fair pricing and choices for all. They offer individual private, individual semi-private, and communal cremations. They also carry their signature designed wood urns and paw-print pewter urns. Well known and respected by veterinary clinics and pet owners alike, Star Memorial Pet Crematory has a clean, modern facility with many years of experience that sets them apart from others in their industry.

Star Memorial Pet Crematory is located at 2400 Owens Lane Brighton, IL 62012. To contact them call 618-372-3433. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM.
