Our story & mission

Thor’s Mission Statement

At Thor’s Pet Cremation & Keepsake, we believe every pet deserves to be honored with dignity, love, and respect. Our mission is to provide the dependable, professional service families expect from a national provider while preserving the deeply personal, family-owned culture that makes us truly different.

Nestled in the quiet countryside of Shippensburg, PA, our business was born from a lifelong devotion to animals and a powerful realization: families deserve a cremation service that is local, transparent, and rooted in genuine compassion. We created Thor’s to ensure no pet is ever handled impersonally or sent away from the community that loved them. Here, your companion stays local, is cared for by our family, and is treated as if they were our own with full transparency.

The Culture That Sets Us Apart

Thor’s isn’t a corporate facility — it’s a community of rescuers, advocates, and people who live their lives in service to animals. Our culture is hands-on, heart-led, and built on empathy. We are the people who stop for strays, who feed animals in need, who support rescue programs, and who believe every life deserves honor.

Families feel that difference immediately.
You’re met with warmth, not formality.
Gentleness, not rush. Transparency, not distance.
This is a place built on compassion —
and you can feel it.

Lowest Cost. Highest Care.

We proudly offer the lowest cremation costs in the region, because no family should ever face financial barriers when honoring their beloved companion. Affordable services and meaningful keepsakes are part of our mission — not a marketing line. Every pet deserves dignified care, regardless of budget.
