We can make it easy for you to host a pet memorial service or animal funeral that’s a fitting expression of the love you shared with your pet. Whether you want it celebratory and fun, or quietly solemn–our experienced staff will make all the arrangements for you. All you need to do is to sit down with us for a complimentary planning session, and provide us with a guest list. We’ll do the rest.

I highly recommend Family Pet Cremations for anyone who considers their pet as family. All the staff were caring, considerate, and compassionate to our needs, when we lost our 15 year old Shepard, Jasper. The night Jasper passed, was after normal hours, and Julie met us there without hesitation, and brought her husband to help. She was so compassionate while we talked and she never tried to rush us, and allowed us to just talk for a couple of hours. When Jasper was ready to pick up, Linda was the same way. She listened to us for an hour, talk about our beloved pet. Again, I highly recommend this place, in your hour of need.

I cannot say enough nice things about Family Pet Cremations. My 12 yr old dog who had arthritis suddenly could not get up, loss use of rear legs then front followed. They came on a Saturday about an hr after I called them and 20 minutes after the mobile vet left. They are so caring, and compassionate. Though my heart is broken, they eased me through it. Thw building is beautiful, and private rooms are available for the grieving pet parents. They even provide obituaries, and a pet grief support group. 100% recommend, would give 10 stars if I could. They even gave me a ink footprint, a sympathy card, and a clip of fur

By far the best decision I made, at a time when deciding anything was near impossible, was choosing this place to have my Baby Kitten cremated. After losing my best friend of 14 years in the worst way I was inconsolable. A neighboring family let their POS dog get out of their property and attack and kill my ]experienced indoor/(come and go as she pleases)] cat, Baby Kitten, while she was sitting on my front porch. In a timeframe of under 20 minutes, while I was inside blending up meals, my “parrot on shoulder” “love of my life” was taken from me. No amount of words can express the absolute pain and overwhelming loss that enveloped me, personified by the fact that I got NO justice from animal control enforcement after the fact due to lack of “video evidence”,, and NO remorse or accountability from the owners of the blood thirsty beast. Without getting into all the details of the situation, needless to say, I was a miserable mess. The only solace or grace granted to me in this time came from the people at Caring Cremations. They went above and beyond, showed that they truly empathized not just with their words but by actions. From staying open past closing to accommodate us comic in from out of town, to follow up emails after services were rendered and completed, I wholeheartedly felt that they were the only people who cared about what happened to us (my cat and I). In every way possible I would recommend them to others and genuinely cannot thank them enough for what they’ve done. 5 stars.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Everyone that works with this company is so sweet and compassionate. They took amazing care of our Tank. It was a relief seeing how much care they gave to our sweet boy. I also was happy to know that it was a private cremation and that they actually called and said he was ready to come home within 24 hours from when they came and got him. I would recommend them to anyone and if I need them in the future with our other fur babies.. they will be the ones I call. <3

We had to say goodbye to our darling Clementine (whom we rescued ourselves with her brother Winston off the streets in Charlotte!) this week. She was our loyal companion for almost 15 years, and we miss her terribly. The staff at Caring Cremations was not only compassionate and professional, but they had Clemmie’s remains back to us in just three days. The price was reasonable, the facility is beautiful, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. It was comforting to be somewhere that understood what we were going through. Society doesn’t offer a formal space for this kind of grief, but Caring Cremations does. Thank you.

Lost the second and last of my two Labs on December 16, 2023. I am a college teacher, so it happened right after the end of the semester and just shortly before Christmas---as if there wasn't already enough stress to deal with. My big yellow boy, Luke, was just a few months shy of 14, and we knew he was approaching the end, but that doesn't take away from the sense of loss. He passed on Saturday morning, so I wasn't certain how we would proceed, but when I contacted Family Pet Cremations, they made the whole process as smooth and easy as anyone could under the circumstances. Someone met me at the site to receive Luke and there were no hitches at all. I came in the following Monday to discuss details and it went like clockwork. I was so impressed with the sensitivity and warmth I felt in the people who met with me. I never felt pressed or pressured, but they were able to offer me a variety of options regarding available services for Luke. It's never easy to lose someone you love---person or pet---but these folks were so professional and so supportive that it sure made things easier. I would recommend Family Pet Cremations to anyone who asked. Good folks and great service.
