The PLPA Mission Statement

The Pet Loss Professionals Alliance is committed to being an educational resource to its members. The membership, including pet loss suppliers and pet death care facility operators, will be dedicated to the respectful and dignified treatment of those pets entrusted to us. We will do this through the creation of programs to profitably meet the changing needs of the pet death care industry and our process partners in the areas of cemeteries, crematories and pet loss facilities, as well as the creation of standards to willfully meet our customers expectations.

The PLPA’s commitment to its membership is to assist in:

  • Foster positive consumer relationships by promoting high ethical standards

  • Encourage our members to promote the dignified and respectful care of the pet bodies

  • Promote cemeteries, crematories and memorial centers as respectful resting areas and as a place of lasting tribute to the memories of our beloved pets

  • Provide services, products and educational opportunities with an emphasis on those resources that members cannot as effectively provide for themselves.

  • Be proactive in leadership on legislative, regulatory and legal issues

  • Create mutually beneficial relationships with state, regional, international and allied associations

  • Provide members the opportunity for growth and recognition through participation in the ICCFA

PLPA Rocks On!

Hello Fellow PLPA Members!  The past few weeks have been exhilirating for the PLPA!  Every day seems to bring new comments, interest, members and wonderful updates!  Thanks to all of you for spreading the word with your colleagues on the benefits of this association - keep the "buzz" marketing going!

We continue to have new developments for the upcoming conference in San Antonio!  We are in the process of finalizing a presentation from a very well-reknowned veterinarian.  She will be sharing with us her comments and feedback on what veterinarians are looking for in their pet death care provider and how to approach these process partners.  This piece coupled with other wonderful learning sessions on grief education, "thinking out of the box" pet death care business ideas and many other sessions are still lining up.  It will truly be an information-filled few days!  If you have not got your reservation in for this session, I would get it in today.

As always, the PLPA is here for you. If you have any ideas for the organization that we need to put up for discussion or consideration, please forward them.  This type of open communication and information exchange is what the PLPA needs and the format that will truly make this association be a resource for all serving the pet death care industry.

Welcome to the PLPA Blog

This is the grand opening of the PLPA Blog, where you can find the latest updates and activity notices regarding the Pet Loss Professionals Alliance.

PLPA Members: If you want to add a blog post to the group, simply click on the "Create group post" link on the right side of the PLPA page (you need to be logged in). It is pretty self explanatory. There is a box that says "Please choose" and you need to choose "PLPA". It's the only choice so you would likely have figured that one out.

Send me a "Web site feedback" note if you have any questions.
