I want to thank you for treating my Baron with the love and kindness that he deserved along with the welcoming words of comfort. Everything was done with so much care and understanding that I am deeply thankful.

    He was a wonderful companion and friend and saw an untimely end which was and is very hard to bear, but your thoughtfulness and tenderness will in time make it easier for me.

Again, thank you so much for taking such care of my Baron.

Sincerely and with deep appreciation.

    I want to sincerely and with gratitude thank you for the wonderful way that you dealt with my beloved pet. When I had her baby created I was living in Indiana and her ashes came back in a zip lock bag. I didn't think keeping a patch of fur or a footprint at the time and the place that cremated her didn't provide a memento like you do.

     While at the vet I had them shave some of her fur for me to keep and while there I also rescued an abandoned kitten and named him Pepper. The next week when I took him back to the vet I picked up Keiko's ashes and was overwhelmed by the care and thought you put into the matted fur and footprint and the Rainbow Bridge poem and went right to the store and bought frames for both of them. I still have difficulty looking at them and find myself crying at the drop of a hat. Sometimes I don't think it is fair for our beloved pets to have such short life spans but then I look on the bright side, it just gives us the opportunity to love a larger number of pets so that one day we will have a family of pets awaiting us.

     I am trying to figure out how I can get all of my loved ones out to Nevada for you to take care of.

Sincerely,

     We have just picked up Cinnamon from Gentle Doctor. Once again you have
done an outstanding and wonderful job. Cinnamon is home now and we
couldn't be more pleased with the presentation that you created. The
staff at Gentle Doctor said that was the most beautiful urn they have
ever seen. Considering there wasn't a dry eye in the building I guess
we got it right.

     My wife and I thank you with all our hearts.

Take care,

Joe

Remember, in life, it's not what cards you are dealt,
it's how you play them that matters.

     I wanted to email you to tell you how much we appreciate the amazing job you did with my Dog Nipper and her urn. WOW! Your kindness and compassion have mean so much to us. I have shared the beauty of the work and your heart with many of our friends and family - so much so that my sister Judy Sharpe who is a Sr. Vet Tech @ Sierra Animal Hospital in Carson City may be contacting you soon re: doing some work for her.

     Also I found out that your also worked with a friend of ours, Krissie, who put down her Greyhound about 4-5 months back. She was also so impressed by your work and touched by your obvious love for animals.

     You must have so much Karma in the bank and I just wanted you to know how much what you have done for us - matters.

Thank you,

Holly Sharpe-Moore & David Moore

     I would like to thank you and your staff for being so kind and compassionate during the passing of my baby "Sonni".  It was a very difficult time for me and my family as we lost an important part of our family.  I called two other crematories before choosing you and I am so glad I made the right decision.  You and your staff were wonderful.  I'm sure they have heard many people grieve for their animals but their compassion and concern will never be forgotten.  I spoke to Nick and you, and I wanted to thank you again.  The Urn that I chose for Sonni was absolutely beautiful.  The engraving was perfect.  The added touches, such as the matted frame with Sonni's paw print and his hair were beyond belief and will be treasured forever.  The touching story and Rainbow poem will be remembered forever.

     I have given your name and website out to all of my animal
loving friends.  Don't ever change and you'll have nothing but success..

     I know that we have never met but I feel very strongly about what I want to say to you. Today I picked up my son Buster - Like every day in the past week, this was another very hard day for us. The sudden loss of Buster has devastated our family. When the girl at the vet's handed the little box to me, I started to cry - again. It seems that everything makes us cry lately. When we sat down and looked at our Buster and all of the things that came back with him we cried again. . . . This time it wasn't with so much pain as it was that we knew his last visit away from home had been to a place that really cared for his little soul, and they were tears from comfort. We read all of the items you carefully packed with him and cried a whole lot more. Each tear though seemed to have a very small smile hiding inside, reminding us of the better times with Buster. What all of this is leading up to is an effort to thank you. There aren't any words within my vocabulary to express our feelings of gratitude for what you have done for our family. You don't know us, and you will never realize how you have touched our lives, helping to mend and guide us towards the right path of a healing direction. You are a wonderful and gracious person, one that has truly been blessed.

     Our hope for you is that you will always have your health, love and happiness, and the strength you need to carry on your work. On days that are hard for you, we hope you will remember all of those little eyes that are smiling at you from all over, hoping that your day will get better and hoping you know how much they love you - hoping you will always know that you are loved.

With Our Deepest Appreciation and Gratitude,

   We just picked up our dog, Dakota's, ashes today.   It has been extremely hard for us, the entire ordeal.   First loosing our dog, that was such a huge part of our lives for so long, and then the deep grief we have felt since.   I can tell you that we were not prepared for the pain our loss would cause.

     You and your staff however, have made a little sun light shine into our lives.   I just want to thank you for the wonderful way you treated us and the excellent work you did.   Thank you again.

     Thank you so much for speaking with me earlier, and being patient with me. I thought that I was composed when I dialed, but it is harder than I thought it was going to be.

     I am very sad to see Chipper's  life end, but also so appreciative that she was in my life. Her personality is one of a kind and I am promising myself to remember her positively, as a happy, healthy, spoiled rotten kitty who brought tons of joy and love to our family.

     Once again, we thank you more than you know, and wish you and your family endless happiness and love.

Sincerely,

Susan Kurz

     I just wanted to thank you for the kind and gentle way you helped us with the loss of our cat Laurel. She was the queen of the house at 18 years old. Although back east we have had other animals cremated and we were treated very gently, you went the extra step. The locket of her fur, and her paw print were special touches to make this sad time more easy to accept.

     Once again, thank you for the gentle manner in which you treated the Bettinger family and especially Laurel.

Dear Sheri,

       Oh, I definitely noticed the "extras".   Dr. Steelman at Bonanza Cat Hospital is a saint!!   She's helped me save Goldie more than once over the past 7 years that we've lived here ... but Goldie had used up his 9 lives this time.    Goldie's favorite color was kelly green, so getting his remains back in the green felt bag was the first thing I noticed.   Then the pretty metal container with the heart & paw prints (I had been told I'd get the cremains back in a plastic box, so I wasn't expecting such a pretty container).  The frame with the furr & paw print really made me cry since that was something really recognizable about Goldie.   I let all his brother & sister cats "smell it" when I brought it home -- they know he's gone.   The books were wonderful to read - and The Rainbow Bridge poem ALWAYS has made me get teary.

       I took a photo of most of the items and emailed it to many of my cat friends.   They also commented on how wonderful a tribute it was.
 

       I'll attach the photo.   Thank you again.   Elaine Manning
(mom to 11 cats now ... Goldie was my oldest -- his real sister is still with me, Smokey).

Dear Pet Cremation Services,

Our name is Nick & Susan Romano. On September 13, 2003 we lost our son
"Meow Meow" after only 11 years together, I wish it were much more.
Since my wife and I never had children in the human sense, Meow Meow was every bit and much more a son to us both. He will always be missed and forever loved as long as we both shall live.

It has been almost four months since you helped us in the greatest time of our need. We wanted to give Meow Meow a respectful and dignified passing. We knew early on that morning, that he would not be with us much longer, so we put him in our car and drove to that beautiful park we shared our last week together. We wanted him to be in God's creation, under a tree when it was his time to go. Within only ten minutes, he was gone. It was and still is the hardest thing we both have ever endured in our lives. I'm sure he was at peace and God didn't let him suffer for long, he was merciful and we will forever love God for answering our prayers for him not to suffer.

We just wanted to say "Thank You" for the important service that you provide. We feel at peace knowing that someone as kind as yourselves care enough about helping people during such difficult times such as these. I would also like to note that the way everything was handled was very professional and I appreciate the felt pouch that his ashes were placed in, it was a very nice touch. Even the way it was folded you can tell that there was great care taken, to ensure that he was loved to the very end.

Thank you so very much and may God bless you always!

Sincerely,

Nick & Susan Romano

My dog Dexter meant the world to me for 7 wonderful years!!!  I used to do everything with him than one day I noticed he had hardly touched his food so I felt his nose and it was warm I figured it was probably just a cold.

Then 3 days later he wasn't eating anything so I took him to the vet and they said that it was his liver and he could have cancer so the doctor just decided that he would open up his liver and see what's what, but if he couldn't do anything he was just going to not wake him up from the anesthetic.  So I agreed and I took him home and cried all night thinking I wouldn't see him again because the doctor said that he only has a 10% chance of living.  I took him to the doctors the next day and went home expecting the worst phone call of my life and I did.  The doctor called and said this isn't the phone call he wanted to make but Dexter has tumors all throughout his liver and he had to put him to sleep. I was a wreck and became depressed for a long time and went 2 days without eating.  But then after reading rainbow bridge I found hope and let there be peace because I knew one day I would meet him again at the rainbow bridge.

In memory of Dexter Dec 15, 1996 - May 4, 2004

Even though I did not purchase an urn from you, thank you for the beautiful job that you did with her remains. 
I am very impressed with the velvet bag, the materials for dealing with grief and the paw print.  It made a sad situation easier to deal with.

Thank you again.
