Established in 2015, Paws & Claws Aquamation and Memorials is owned and operated by Brian and Deanna Kondrath.

Brian has been in the funeral industry for over 25 years. He has a degree in Mortuary Science and is licensed by the state of California as a crematory manager, embalmer and funeral director.

Deanna has a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and has worked in the funeral industry for 10 years.
