The ideal Forever Friends franchise owner shares our belief that pets are family and deserves the same dignity and respect as human loved ones. We seek financially qualified candidates who are compassionate, detail-oriented, and eager to make a meaningful difference in their community. While previous funeral industry or pet care experience can be helpful, it is not required, because our training program will equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to operate successfully. If you’re exploring how to start a pet funeral and cremation business with a trusted brand, Forever Friends Pet Funeral Home and Crematory provides the guidance to make it happen.
Franchise owners and their managers will attend comprehensive training at our flagship facility in Green Bay, Wisconsin, covering everything from crematory operations and safety protocols to family consultations and business management. You’ll also receive hands-on support during your Grand Opening, with members of our team onsite to help you feel confident and prepared. Ongoing resources include our Confidential Operations Manual, vendor network, marketing toolkit, and access to our dedicated support team for operational and technical assistance whenever you need it.
The estimated initial investment ranges from $271,825-$427,500, which includes a $50,000 initial franchise fee. These figures cover everything from your training and equipment to your initial marketing and build-out expenses. As with any business, it’s important to ensure you have adequate capital to sustain operations during the early growth phase.
Forever Friends Pet Funeral Home and Crematory does not offer direct financing; however, we can connect you with third-party financing partners who may be able to assist with equipment purchases, build-out costs, and working capital.
