As a child, Rachel Harvey had quite a few pets pass away. When they did, her minister Father would conduct a full blown funeral service with her entire family, complete with flowers, prayers and scripture readings. As a result, Rachel and her siblings have performed funerals for many other families who have lost their dogs, cats, gerbils, fish, bunnies, and yes, even a horse.
 
Rachel's family lost their first pet in 2010 and, being a songwriter, she wrote a song to help her children process the death of their Sheltie, Daisy. A friend encouraged her to create a CD of all the songs she had written about her pets and see if local veterinary clinics might be interested in giving them out to clients who had lost a pet. Rachel, her husband, her friend, and her brother were brainstorming how to do this and idea after idea kept coming and OurPetLoss was born. The company is gearing up with lots of memorial items and services and bases their operations from Kissimmee, Florida.
