What to Expect

  • One point of contact from start to finish — you'll speak directly with Aaron
  • You'll be asked some basic information:
    • Where the animal is located (an address)
    • The accessibility of the animal — a field, a barn, and so on. These questions matter because of the animal's weight and how difficult it can be to move, combined with how accessible the location is for the vehicle
    • What kind of animal it is, and its size (small, medium, or large works)
    • A time to schedule pickup — removals can be pre-scheduled, and I work closely with vets to coordinate the euthanization and the removal together
  • I will always be prompt, discreet, and respectful

Our Story

James Wayne Carver riding a horse on the family property

This business was founded by my late father, James Wayne Carver — a respected farrier, championship roper, and trusted name in the community for deceased animal removal. He worked closely with local veterinarians — including Ernie Grubb, Michael Clark, and Sara Perkins — to provide safe, humane removal for large animals.

Due to the sensitive nature of this work, I do my best to coordinate closely with your veterinarian's schedule — especially in emergency situations, where ongoing communication in the moment matters most. Advance scheduling is always appreciated, but if I can't be onsite at the same time as the vet, know that your situation is a priority and I will get there as quickly as possible.

I've been running this business on my own since 2023, and in that time I've come to know many people throughout this community — including many of the same veterinarians my father built relationships with over the years. I'm proud to keep those ties going, and to keep running this as a family business.

I understand that these animals were part of a family. Giving that loss the respect and attention it deserves is always my priority.

I'm a one-man crew, licensed, bonded, and insured. Any communication you have will come directly from me. If any issues come up, I'm here, down-to-earth, and I'll always do my best to make things right.

Where I Serve

  • Graham
  • Orting
  • Eatonville
  • Buckley
  • Carbonado
  • South Prairie
  • Wilkeson
  • Elbe

Don't see your town listed? I understand that there's few providers offering this kind of large-animal service in the region — so I don't limit my area. I'll travel wherever the job actually needs me to be, statewide and out of state. I've made the drive as far as Forks, WA, and I've coordinated necropsy transport to university veterinary programs, including delivering a horse to the University of Oregon.
