Beloved Rats can pass away in style
Liz Dreeben and Kate Griffin have professional credentials to handle the business of pet death. Dreeben was a funeral director and Griffin an office manager.
But what most qualifies them to open a funeral home for pets might be the size of their families, which include two dogs, three cats, two rats, a snake, a fish and a hamster.
They know your cherished household animal is "no more just the family pet. It's part of the family. ... So you want to grieve them just as you would a human," Dreeben said.
Their Rainbow Ridge Pet Cemetery and Crematory on Old Route 9 north of the village would be the first business of its kind in Dutchess County. They plan to open within a month of gaining the town planning board's approval and would cater to the growing number of pet lovers who are treating the loss of Fluffy and Spot as they would the deaths of family members.
...Bless their little souls
