In Loving Memory of Our Faithful Companions
Trust Dixie Memorial Pet Gardens for all your pet aftercare arrangements. Our pet cemetery was established in 1992 in loving memory of Dixie, who was Barbara Wells’ beloved silky terrier. What started as a small memorial to Dixie has now grown to a 23-acre pet cemetery just outside of Millington, TN. Our special memorial gardens are now home to loving memorials for service animals and our favorite companions in Shelby County.

The grounds are professionally landscaped and maintained, with an arbor beside a pond for peaceful reflection and time alone. There are several ponds and fountains to create the perfect atmosphere.
