Stephen and Caroline Purdy
OwnersPet Passages – Dover is independently owned and locally operated by Stephen and Caroline Purdy, who strive to provide unparalleled aftercare and petloss services to pet parents and veterinarians in their community.
After the loss of their family dogs Jake and Jesse in 2012, Stephen and Caroline saw a true need for a premier memorial center and pet crematory options throughout New Hampshire, southern Maine and northern Massachusetts. As a fourth generation Funeral Director at Purdy Funeral Services, Stephen knew their experience and expertise could fill this gap. Over 10 years later, their mission remains the same:
“All we want to do is provide a needed service to both the animals and their owners, giving them a chance to say goodbye in a dignified, tranquil manner. Families now have a choice of who handles their beloved pet regardless of who your veterinarian may be partnered with.”
Stephen and Caroline have three children: Nicholas, Madison and Cameron and one dog, Digger.
