And it’s all thanks to the Friends of Pet Cemetery Association! This non-profit organization was created in order to oversee the former Boston Hills Pet Memorial Park near Aurora, Ohio. With members as far as the Bedford, Ohio and Chardon, Ohio areas, Friends of Pet Cemetery Association is finally able to provide families with the well-maintained dog, cat, or even horse cemetery they need.
