Richard & Elana Slobodien
Owners & Operators
Resting Rainbow of Philadelphia was built on the belief that when a beloved pet passes, the farewell deserves the same dignity, compassion, and intentionality afforded to any member of the family. Richard’s background in compassionate patient care and healthcare operations, combined with Elana’s financial acumen and institutional expertise, position the siblings uniquely to build something both professionally sound and deeply humane. Their vision extends further still: a full-service Funeral Home for Pets — a dedicated space where families can gather, grieve, and honor their animal companions through personalized memorial services, viewing, and grief support. It is a mission as professional in its execution as it is personal in its origins, and a testament to two siblings who have always believed that love — in any form — deserves to be honored. Together, the Slobodien siblings have always been united by something that transcends their careers: a profound, lifelong love of animals. Their homes have never been without dogs, cats, and even rabbits! — companions who have shaped their understanding of what it truly means to care for another living being.
