Call (302) 404-5958
  1. You call us, or ask your vet to

    Phone us any time, day or night. If your pet is at the veterinarian’s office, just tell them you’d like Heavenly Gates.

  2. We bring your pet into our care

    We collect your pet from your veterinarian or your home and bring them to our facility in Seaford, gently and with respect.

    We go over the memorial packages, urns and keepsakes with you, by phone or in person.

What families tell us

We had a very good experience with this company. Our dog passed away suddenly and Joy came out within an hour. Everything from the urn to the little poem they sent with his paw print was so special. Thank you Heavenly Gates!

Sarah M. on Google

Andrew and Kyle were very professional and very sincere. They gave us the time to grieve before handing Ruby over. The facility was easy to get to, clean, and very welcoming. It was comforting knowing our girl was in good hands.

Jennifer R. on Google

Everyone associated with Heavenly Gates are pet owners who are kind, caring, and compassionate. Jacob and Amy went above and beyond, meeting me after hours. The facility is immaculate, tastefully decorated, warm, and inviting.
