Welcome to L.E.A.S.H. Pet & Exotic Animal Mortuary, Arizona’s top trusted choice for Pet Mortuary in Arizona. Founded in March 2025, we are grateful to stand as Arizona’s very first 24-Hour, Full-Service Pet Funeral Home in the state, built upon a collective 15 years of dedicated cremation and funeral logistics experience right here in the Valley of the Sun. As an immediate family of passionate pet owners ourselves, we understand firsthand that a pet is a cherished family member deserving of the utmost compassion. Because loss never adheres to a schedule, our family is here for your 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, responding directly to private homes to provide seamless, compassionate support whenever you need us most.

L.E.A.S.H. Pet & Exotic Animal Mortuary was founded by Julie Class, a Registered Pet Funeral Director who brought thirteen years of dedicated, hands-on experience in human mortuary services, mortuary logistics, and direct cremations into the pet aftercare space. As a proud woman-owned and family-operated local business, we treat every single family with the exact same high-level protocol, absolute precision, and profound reverence traditionally reserved for human funeral care. This extensive background in professional logistics allows our family to seamlessly manage the secure transport, safe temporary care, and dignified arrangements for Arizona pet owners in their most difficult hours.

Deeply rooted in family values, Julie is a devoted mother of three and grandmother of three who has spent her life caring for others during their most vulnerable moments. Her extensive career includes decades of executive management overseeing family-owned human funeral homes throughout the Valley, giving her a masterful understanding of seamless operations and compassionate client care. Beyond her professional work, Julie has been a dedicated Red Cross Disaster Action Team volunteer for over twenty years across both Arizona and Illinois, and she was honorably recognized by the Donor Network of Arizona for the deep compassion and empathy she demonstrated while assisting mutual families. Today, she applies this lifetime of service directly to Pet Aftercare as a Certified Pet Loss Grief Coach, Registered Pet Funeral Director, and Certified Crematory Operator—consistently furthering her specialized education to bring the highest level of professional excellence to Arizona pet owners.

We are profoundly proud to stand as the most affordable full-service pet funeral home in Arizona, built on the unshakeable belief that all animals deserve absolute dignity and love in both life and death. Because we are family-owned and free from rigid corporate rules, our team possesses the unique flexibility to offer custom discounts and true financial relief to support our local community in times of unexpected crisis. We consciously structure our packages so that you receive far more value, inclusion, and tangible keepsakes with us than anywhere else in the state. By removing corporate barriers and overhead, L.E.A.S.H. Pet & Exotic Animal Mortuary makes premier, dignified pet aftercare transparently obtainable for every single Arizona pet lover.
