Pet Cremation and Memorial Services
More Than a Business: A Story of Friendship, Compassion, and Shared Values
At Forever Friends, we honor the unbreakable bond between devoted pet parents and beloved fur babies that reflects the friendship and values of Forever Friends’ founders and the entire team.
Established in 2020 by founders Chris Lowe and Adam Dwyer, Forever Friends Pet Cremation and Memorialization in Columbus is more than a business—it’s a heartfelt venture born from a shared passion and appreciation for animals and the remarkable relationships they form with their pet parents.
Chris’s journey began at the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System in Columbus. Enrolling in the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science, he balanced a full-time job working in Westerville and Grove City funeral homes. Following graduation and completing internship requirements, Chris immersed himself in funeral service in Dayton, managing three of the city’s busiest providers.
A Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science graduate, Adam joined Chris in Dayton, cementing a lasting friendship. Eventually, Chris’s return to Columbus sparked the idea of a joint venture, combining their expertise and entrepreneurial spirit.
After years in Dayton, Chris moved back to Worthington, Ohio, while Adam, embracing
entrepreneurship, ventured into supporting funeral homes independently. Chris found
leadership in a Dublin medical company, gaining valuable experience.
As Chris’s leadership role in the medical company concluded, he and Adam reunited to explore business ideas in funeral service. The concept of pet services emerged, rooted in their shared belief that every pet deserves dignity and respect.
