How we serve Durham
We come to you, every day.
When your companion passes — at home, at the veterinary clinic, expected or unexpected — we’re here. We pick up in Durham and surrounding communities, and we treat every companion in our care with the dignity we’d want for our own.
Families in Durham are served from our Central NC Office at 9204 Eisenhower Drive, Apex, NC 27539. You can reach this office directly at (919) 728-7200.
Durham families reach us straight down I-40 from our Apex office — Duke Forest, Hope Valley, downtown, and everywhere between. The Bull City’s veterinary community is one we know well, and we pick up directly from clinics across Durham as well as from your home.
If a home-visit veterinarian is helping your companion pass at home, we’ll coordinate with them directly — one conversation, one plan, nothing for you to arrange twice.

Water cremation — the most natural process available.
Companah is one of the few providers in central North Carolina offering water cremation. It uses gentle chemistry instead of flame — returning approximately 30 to 40 percent more cremated remains than flame-based cremation, with no smoke or greenhouse-gas emissions.

What families are saying
“I had 3 senior fur babies, one passing at 12 in 2021, one at 17 in 2022, and then my 17 year old a few weeks ago. Each time it felt like my world collapsed around me having to say goodbye. When I called to bring them in, they were always so accommodating, comforting, patient, and beyond wonderful. I was given as much time as I needed in a private room to say goodbye, and they went above and beyond to show compassion for how truly heart wrenching this was. After final decisions are made, it only took a few days and they were ready to bring home. Shannon even let me come a bit late to pick up my fur baby, and still took the time to show everything ensuring it was just perfect. I can't thank them enough for all they have done- truly such an exceptional team.”
