Pine Ridge Cemetery

Welcome to Pine Ridge Cemetery

Located at 238 Pine Street in Dedham, Massachusetts, Pine Ridge Cemetery is a historic pet resting place established in 1907. Nestled within the serene 27-acre campus of the Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL), our cemetery has been a cherished site for over a century, providing a peaceful sanctuary for nearly 17,000 beloved pets.

Our Services and Commitment

While we no longer offer new burial plots or in-house private cremation services due to operational limitations, we are dedicated to accommodating our clients' needs. For private pet cremations, we have partnered with Final Gift to ensure your beloved pets receive the utmost care and respect. For those seeking pet burial services, we can refer you to other reputable local organizations.

ARL remains committed to the perpetual care of the pets who rest in our cemetery, offering ongoing maintenance and preservation of the grounds. We strive to provide a tranquil environment for reflection and remembrance.

To maintain the dignity and safety of our cemetery, we kindly ask visitors to adhere to the following guidelines:

- Dogs must be leashed at all times, and pet waste must be picked up.
