Testimonials 

Thank you for returning my dear Boulud to me so quickly. The urn is beautiful - elegant enough for my desk but warm and nicely carved enough to compliment my memories of my dear Miniature Schnauzer.

I didn't plan on my best friend leaving so soon - your professionalism and almost instant reaction time saved me from diverting my attention from my dog in the last few minutes of life.  The fact that you were prepared to return Boulud's ashes the very next day was nice.  She was my fifth Schnauzer and I have never had such excellent service before.

Thank you very, very much.

On April 27, 2010, our little baby boy Owen passed away. He was a sweet kitten and will ber missed by our whole family. When he passed, the staff at Faithful Companion were very helpful. A man named Shawn greeted us when we got thee and he was very kind and helpful when we felt our worst. Thank you so much for your kindess. I felt that Owen was safe in your hands until he was returned.

Erin Baum

Thank you so much for taking care of my best friend! It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. You had never met me or Scout but you thoughtfully sent his paw print, a very sweet card and the rainbow bridge poem, and I thank you for that! it really means a lot to me! Thank you for reuniting me with my best friend again. I cannot thank you enough.

Lindsey Roe

I had to make a decision yesterday for my dearest friend of 17 years.  I felt every emotion – up and down, up and down.  I sit here the day after with Callie's remains and feel a sense of peace inside.  I felt a sigh of relief when I recieved her remains, a heartfelt card and a lovely poem that I take solice in, all provided by people whom I have never met nor have ever met my closest companion, but they treated her and me with complete respect and compassion.  It was so comforting to know that the Santeiu family had everything under control and had Callie in their hearts and minds during this period of her time here on earth.  I cannot thank the Santeiu family more from my heart and soul, thank you.  

Shannon Toner & Family

It was the hardest decision I ever had to make in putting my beloved dog, Buffy, down.  She was 14 years old and had led a very happy life.  I chose to have her cremated.  My vet recommended Faithful Companion.
I couldn't have been more pleased with how the cared for Buffy, in death, as she was cared for in life.  She was returned to me in less than 24 hours. The care and compassion that the Santeiu family showed to my pet, in my time of sorrow, gave me great comfort.  Thanks for making this difficult time a little easier.

Charlotte Smith

We are so grateful to Faithful Companion for their care and consideration in assisting us with arrangements for our beloved cat,Cosette. She left us unexpectedly on the 7th day of treatment for an infection. My husband and I were unprepared and devastated. We would also like to thank John(who picked up Cosette from our home,and brought her back to us the next day)for his kindness and professionalism - it was a great comfort knowing Cosette was in good care. Thank you again for everything - Faithful Companion has made a heartbreaking time better for us.

Julie & Noal McDonald

It was comforting to so quickly have Kiki back home where she belonged. She was a good cat that deserved the dignity and respect afforded her by the Santeiu family. My sincere thanks.

Eric Moore

Our Two St. Bernards were our family. The Santeiu family showed such compassion at two devestating moments in our lives.One being so unexpected,on the weekend and after vet hours.They arrived promptly in our moment of helplessness. So when the time came for our other St. Bernard, we knew, they would arrive with respect,compassion and treat her with the dignity, we felt as a family, she deserved.We didn't want her to remember her last ride in the Truck to be to the vets. Because of their services we didn't have to. Thank you for giving my kids a golden bed!!!

The Miller Family

I have had some really unfortunate luck with my two cats, Aspen and Cajun over the past four months.  These two were brother and sister and were together everyday for the past eight years....they were amazing pets and I could not have asked for anything more in my life as a pet owner. Unfortunately, Aspen lost his battle with diabetes in August and just last week Cajun was diagnosed with total and complete kidney failure!!!  My point I would like to state is that Phillip Santeiu and his company, Faithful Companion were there for both occasions and took such incredible care of both of my cats... the process was smooth and flawless, not to mention quick!!!!  My goodness, I had them back within a day!!!!! To me that was a comfort to have them both back and I could not thank Phillip enough for his compassion and professionalism! Once again, Phillip, thank you for your help.....you made it a little less painful and I am grateful.

Scott MacEwan

I would like to thank Phillip for his kindness. Molly passed away early Christmas morning 2009 and I was able to have her cremated within hours and waited.  I highly recommend Faithful Companion because they show you the areas and explain the process in detail. Phillip's kind words put me at ease and I was taking Molly back home within hours.  If you want a personal experience with your beloved pet, as I did, then I would choose them.  Words cannot thank them enough.

Chris Simmons

Thank you so much for caring about our animals/family members in the manner you do!  Putting my dog "Kitty" down August 7th, 2009, was so hard. She was only 8, but the needed medication destroyed her body. Knowing she was going to be cared for by Faithful Companion gave me such Tremendous comfort. She is still with me not only as ashes but in my heart and at the Rainbow Bridge waiting. Thank you for all you do to help families deal with this difficult task. Dog spelled backwards is God and that they are "Gifts from God" and so is your Family. Thank you!

Ann Lucas-Golembiewski & Family

I lost my beloved cat, Tucker, on December 20, 2009. Faithful Companion was more than attentive to my needs and wants. As a pet owner for a long time, I was impressed how much care and respect was given to me as well as Tucker. Faithful Companion was very compassionate throughout the whole process. Thank you, you made this situation a lot more easy to deal with.

Sincerely, Lawrence Dick

You will never know how much you and your family's service has helped us throughout the decision making of our 12 yr old cat (Kado) and his passing, we never heard of an animal getting cremated and their ashes returned to their owners before, but are we glad we found "Faithful Companion", and we our glad we chose cremation. Kado was our first furry friend that we've lost, you helped us to be able to keep him close in spirit with the returns of his ashes in an urn. It sits on my bedside stand, sometimes I take him in the living room with us, we couldn't have done it a better way. It gives us comfort knowing that the six animals that we have left will be cared for just as well as Kado was. May God bless you and your family.

The Lamberts

We would like to thank Faithful Companion for their wonderful services.  Our baby boy Hans left us yesterday (November 27th) after a battle of severe arthritis complicated with his SARDS disease diagnosed 8/11/09.
He was returned to us this afternoon and now we have a sense of closure, thanks to Faithful Companion.  

The Halter Family

We are so thankful for your staff's kindness. You are such wonderful, amazing people. My piggy, Zen was returned to us quickly and with a very loving poem; I feel that is where he is right now - the Rainbow Bridge. You gave me some closure knowing that he was well taken care of. I would tell others of your kindness, and how your staff was so warm and understanding. Thank you so much, its hard to lose a faithful companion, and we all know that when it comes to situations like these, we want someone we can trust. I can say I trust your company and staff to the fullest. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The Thorntons

Our family would like to thank you for bringing us some peace at such a sad time in our lives.  Our beautiful Baxter left us on November 12, 2009 and we were able to have a small sense of relief to know that he would be treated with such kindness in his passing.  He was returned to us so quickly and we would recommend your services to anyone who has a Faithful Companion that they want to have creamated.  We have a sense of closure that we otherwise would not have had if we did not have your service as an option.

Thank you again for your kindness.  

The Gicopoulos Family

We wish to express our gratitude to your Family for the service you provided us with the loss of our dear Amber. We find it strange by the way we learned of the dignity you bring to pets who have spent their lives bringing their owners peace, friendship and tranquility. We met at the Cobo Dog Show last winter. We were drawn to your booth for a reason I cannot give you. The young man we spoke with was professional and kind. At the time our Amber had Cushings disease which she developed at age six, and she lived to be eight and half. Her body was ravaged by the chemotherapy, and was failing. My wife and I felt a calming relief by speaking with the gentleman. We knew Amber did not have much longer, and he offered us a way to return to Amber a dignified manner in which to be sent on when she passed. As a teenager I worked at a veterinary clinic, and now that I am in my 62nd year remember the manner and horror of the disposal of people's beloved pets. Your family offers a manner in which you give us comfort in the way that Amber left us. The young man, Kip, who came to take Amber, and Michael, who brought her back to her home, were wonderful and kind. They were willing to spend time with us, gave us time to say goodbye, and understood how difficult it can be. Non-pet owners will never understand what we, as pet lovers, lose when a dear family member who has given their unconditional love, attention, and companionship to their family every day of their lives, and then they are gone forever. Your Family gives us the manner and way to honor them in their death. There is no joy, but there is a peace you have brought to our home. Thank you again for all you do, and may God bless you all as you continue your work of helping others.

Paul and Kathy B. (Toledo, Ohio)

We just want to thank you for your care, compassion, and assistance with our beloved dog's final arrangements.  It does not surprise us that you provide this special service.  It gives us comfort to know that the people who cared for both of our fathers when they passed also cared for our precious canine daughter.  It was especially helpful that you returned her so quickly and the person who brought her back was very kind.  

Thank you,

The Tweedy Family

Thank you Faithful Companion for handling arrangements for our dog, Isaac. Your staff was caring and compassionate. They really helped us get through the process. We felt at ease from the first phone call. We would especially like to thank Michael, who picked up Isaac from our home. Our vet was running late getting to our house and Michael was very kind and patient. He gave us plenty of time and space to say our goodbyes once Isaac was put to rest. Jason was very nice to us also over the phone. And I'm sorry I can't remember the guys name who dropped the remains off, but he too was kind and caring. We would recommend you to anyone needing pet cremation services... thank you again for everything. God Bless you all.

Dan Y and family

Ann Lucas-Golembiewski & Family

Words will never be enough to express my feelings and gratefulness about how my mouse Harriett was taken care of by Kevin and by Faithful Companion Services overall. Jason treats you like you are the only person on this earth and I felt the same way after bring Harriett in and dealing with Kevin. He was so kind to me and comforted me as I sat there holding her and crying my eyes out. He walked me all the way through every step he was taking to ensure I knew what he was doing.  I highly, highly recommend their services to anyone who has a faithful friend that they want to have cremated.  Their kindness surpasses anything I have ever encountered in the loss of an animal.

Lynda Rivera

I would like to say Thank you, for your wonderful professional manner. It was a very trying week when our dear Buster passed on to see the rainbow. I only hope that anyone whom has a companion who passes on will be entrusted to you.

Thank you, so very much.

Lois & Jim Zakem

My family once again would like to thank all of you at Faithful Companion for all your help with our beloved Muffin. The last couple of weeks have been so hard on our family, having lost one pet and now our little girl Muffin. We are grateful to know we have a place we can go where they take the most wonderful care of our pets, and understand the pain we all go through in our time of need. Thank you for all your help and guidance through this tough time, and bless all of your family for helping us through this.

Sally, Terry and JD Wade

Thank you so much for making a very difficult and sad time for us a little bit easier.  Our little "Monique" passed away on August 28, 2009 and your services were very much appreciated.  Your kindness and professionalism
were outstanding.  Monique's urn is beautiful and she would certainly approve....

Thank you again,
Ronald Draggich-Leblanc

My whole family would like to say thank you so much for all the help and kindness you gave when we lost our wonderful pet, Romeo. It had been a very tough couple of days, and your family put us all at ease with wonderful care for our beloved pet, the kindness you all showed, and the comfort of knowing he was cared for by such wonderful people like your family. Thank you all from our hearts and may God bless you all for taking care with our loved one, and our family, during our time of need.

The Wades

I want to sincerely thank the whole family at Faithful Companion. When I had to have Jack put down I had no place to turn to help me keep my beloved friend in the manner I needed.  They went above and beyond what they needed to do to help my boy move from this world to the next.  I will never forget what Kevin, Joe, and the whole family did to help me in my time of need.  I will always be in your debt and will never refuse to help you in any way.

Steve Deitch &
Jack Russell Deitch

I had no idea that you were part of the same funeral services that my family has used for all of our losses in the past.  You take such great care whether it's a human family member or a family pet.  Thank you for the care in my time of need...

Thank you Santieu family,

Margaret Henrikowski-Long

We cannot begin to express our gratitude to the entire Santeiu family for their professionalism, but more importantly their love when it came time for our two dogs, Pudder & Molly, to cross the Rainbow Bridge.

Knowing they were in the hands of such loving people made the loss of them a little easier to handle.  

When they were brought back to us, we knew they were together forever.

Love and Thank You,

Laura & Tom Shaw

I am not sure if I ever thanked you for your professionism and understanding.  I refer all of my family and friends to you and will continue to, because of the wonderful service you provided for me.

Best Regards,
L. Vereeke

As a veterinarian, I thought I was prepared for what was going to happen. Smokey was in end-stage renal failure and I thought I had done everything to prepare myself for the eventual end that would have to come. Even so, when it came time to help her cross the Rainbow Bridge, I was not nearly as brave as she was. Afterward, knowing she was in the care of Faithful Companion gave me great comfort... I knew it was my Smokey that came back to me the next day, and once she was home the healing process could begin.

Your professional and sensitive staff is amazing. It means so much to know that she was given the utmost respect and care throughout the process. I cannot thank you enough.

God bless,
Kristie

I was fortunate to pick up a brochure about your services the day before my beloved English Springer Spaniel, Mickey, passed away.  I knew I wanted him cremated but I had no information on crematories for pets. We weren't prepared that he was going to leave us that soon, but someone up above was looking over us that we had picked up that brochure.  Just knowing that Mickey was so well taken care of helps with the grief process.  I have told so many others to be prepared and have mentioned your services to some pet grief groups and to my vet. Not enough words to thank you.

Denise Bratcher

At the worst time in my life when I had no idea what to do I was referred to your services. I lost my Jasmine and was just - lost. The entire experience with your company was not only totally professional but made me feel "better" about the whole thing... I just wanted my girl home. She was back with me by 11:00 the next morning.

The caring and understanding of your staff is beyond exceptional. Thank you for taking care of my girl.

Kelly

The loss of our dear friend, Mr. Arnold, was very difficult.  We had to make the unimginable choice to end his suffering.  He was only 7 years old, very young for a cat, which made the choice all that much more difficult.

When presented the option of having Mr. Arnold back home within 24-48 hours of his passing, there was no question.  We had no idea that this was even an option; you are providing such a wonderful service to all those that value their pets as members of their family.

Thank you so much for what you do.  It gave us peace of mind to know that Mr. Arnold was handled in such a dignified manner.  He was such a cool cat and we couldn't imagine a more honorable way to handle his remains.

Thank you so much!

The Mentier Family

Your staff responded to our appointment yesterday after we had to say goodbye to our 11 year old Black Labrador Retriever named Dakota. After the vet had left, we were able to spend the time to grieve privately. When the two young men arrived, they were very caring and professional. They were prepared to the extent that they even called our dog by name and petted him gently even though he was gone. We are grieving now with a pain that is indescribable as most pet owners can only know for themselves. But, in the end, we were there with and for Dakota when he made his final few steps here on earth. Having such professional and gentle young men there to take care of the final arrangements brings comfort that will pay emotional dividends for years to come. We thank you for taking such great care of our Dakota.

Frank & Kathy Finch

It has been 6 months today since our beloved Mookie passed away. I can't tell you how comforting it is to have her with us forever, because of you and your family and the wonderful thing you do for families.

Only an animal lover could understand what we went through when she passed away. Thank you again for being there for us, even though we didn't get a chance to meet with any of you face to face.

Sincerely,
Chris Ken Mike Andrew & Amanda
(Moe Moe and Schneeker too)

I would like to express my graditutde to Tim, his Family, and Staff. My precious Rascals died on Janurary 19, 2009. Battling cancer for 2 years. Rascals was just 4 years old and he brought such joy to our family. Rascals is in a better place, Rainbow Bridge.

You and your family made things so much easier. It took one phone call and a Faithful Companionship took care of the rest. We want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, on making things a lot easier to go through this grieving process. Thank you again!

Sincerely,
Yvonne Hildebrandt
Charlie, Sabrina, and Abby

I just wanted to express my appreciation for the attention and care given to my cat Boo. Your representative Jim drove Boo's remains to our house the evening of the snow storms last Saturday.

Thank you for helping make a very difficult time a little easier to bear.

Jeannie Pletcher

I said goodbye to my sweet girl Venus January 10, 2009 after 14 years and 7 months of having her in my life.

Though it wasn't easy letting my girl go on to Heaven to be with her sister who passed on in 2007, I was comforted knowing she was in your care.

From the moment I contacted Faithful Companion Memorials, I was treated with nothing but respect and compassion. I couldn't think of a more dignified and beautiful way for my beloved girl's physical essence to remain with me here while her soul has gone on to Heaven.

Thank you for your service,

Dana Rasmussen

Dear Tim,

I would just like to take a momment and thank you and your son's for the kindness you showed for me and my dog Buster he was a 95lb Black Lab. He became ill the day after Chistmas 08, i gave him a couple of day's in hopes he whould pull out of it but on New Years Eve it was apparent he was getting worse I took him to Affiliated Veterinary Emergency Service in Southgate Mich.There assessment was that he was suffering from Regenerative Amemia and his liver was failing. I could not afford the treatment that they recommened so i had to let him go.I opted for the Group Cremation.The next day on 1-2-09 i called your office to find out what plot he whould burried at Pet Momorial Park,I talked to one of your sons and he said he would call me at the end of the mounth and let me know. I no sooner hung up with him and you called me back offering a individual cremation at no cost this really touch my heart on 1-3-09 Buster was back home with us.I want to thank you again from the bottom of my heart. May God Bless You And Keep You.

Gordon Stewart and the family of Buster.

Dear Tim,

My dog, Buster, was cremated at your facility on Monday, October 20. The kindness, respect, and professionalism you, your sons (especially Rick), and your entire staff extended to me, my cousin, Jan, and my sweet boy were far beyond my expectations. The efficiency with which everything was orchestrated and the way I saw your staff handling the boxes in the holding area gave me immense comfort. I am confident that even if I hadn’t stayed to witness, Buster would have been given his due respect.

When I go over the events of that day, one of the few comforting thoughts I have is that Buster’s life didn’t’ come down to the fact that he weighed 13. 6 lbs. I know he was treated with the same care as the field mouse you told us about or as if he had been a former Westminster Kennel Club Champion; and that’s’ the way it should have been. He meant the world to me in the same way I know those animals would to their owners. He kept me from being lonely and his very presence calmed me when things went bump in the night.

I have told so many people about the positive experience I had at your facility and the tremendous sense of closure it gave me. I’m so grateful to still have Buster with me in some small way and to have something tangible to focus on when I tell him how much I miss him. I wish I knew for sure where Buster’s spirit is now, but even if he’s just a memory in my heart and mind it’s reassuring to know that I was able to thank him for his 13 years of faithful companionship by staying with him throughout his final journey.

I’ll probably require your services again someday for another beloved pet I will acquire in the not-too-distant future; but at least the trepidation of the process won’t be there. And one day it will be me delivered to your facility in a wooden box. But my mind is at ease because I know now that I also will be treated with dignity and respect; and for that, there are just no words to express my gratitude.

Sincerely,

Carolyn

I wanted to share with others the gratitude we have for Faithful Companion. Their professionalism and sincerity pours out of all their correspondence, whether it is their well written brochure that is returned with the pet (in our case, it was our Baby Buffy), the packaging, or the sympathy card that is written by the Staff. Although our family did not have direct contact with Faithful Companion after the passing of our 18 year Cocker, we still felt the compassion from them. I emailed them last night to thank them for the fast return of our "girl", not expecting a quick reply. Within ½ hour we received a personal message from Jason Santeiu. We are still hurting badly, and this may seem strange to some, and it is hard explain, but your Company has some how helped us a bit through this loss. I highly recommend them, should their services be needed for those reading these testimonials.  And, I hope it is later, then sooner.

The Johnsons

Thank you so much for helping us in our moment of need with the passing of our beloved Rocky dog, you all have a great big heart and understanding of the loss of a most beloved pet.

Thank you and it's great that you all care as deeply as you do.

Thank you,

Christopher & Tina Engel

Both Tom and I want to thank you all for your help regarding the cremation of our dogs, Pudder and Molly. Your gentle, caring way was and continues to be very comforting to both of us. The fact that their remains were returned home so quickly will help us heal from this tragedy in our lives. The services you offer are a tremendous comfort to us. Be assured that we'll share our experience with all that we know.

Again, thank you and continue with your special work.

Laura & Tom

My aching heart was broken when my Bina slipped away.

In that moment, fighting the tears while trying to comprehend how this little angel's heart was too big, and now was killing her. In my arms she had her last breath, her heart stopped and as quickly as she entered our lives she was gone.

When I talked to Charlie @ FCM the next day, I somehow felt better. I think it was the kindness he showed and his sensitivity to our loss. After meeting Charlie, Kevin and some of the other Santeiu's, I was really touched at how they treated us like friends.
Thanks again guys for everything and Charlie for bringing our girl home again. It means the world to me to see and experience the kindness of others.

Brian D

Both Tom and I want to thank you all for your help regarding the cremation of our dogs, Pudder and Molly. Your gentle, caring way was and continues to be very comforting to both of us. The fact that their remains were returned home so quickly will help us heal from this tragedy in our lives. The services you offer are a tremendous comfort to us. Be assured that we'll share our experience with all that we know.

Again, thank you and continue with your special work.

Laura & Tom

It was very hard for me and my family to lose Puddles. He was our baby and wewill miss him very much and nothing anyone can say will make me ever feel better about losing him.

The care and professionalism that was expressed to me was wonderful from faithful companions. They were very kind and brought him back to us very fast and it made me feel good that he was taken care of with such respect, and how they got him home quickly.

They delivered him around 8:30 at night and I thought that showed great character of this company.

Thank You, for making this process easier on me and my family.

Cerine Mazzola

While nothing will console my family and I relative to the loss our deeply loved and beloved Golden Retriever, Duke, words fail to express the immeasurable comfort you afforded us through the devoted, caring, and compassionate attention you provided to our 'Bunny'.  

Outside of truly believing that we will one day be reunited with Duke, our greatest comfort in all of this has come from the same-day, respectful treatment and handling he received following his death. Knowing that he was cared for in such a dignified and caring manner, and having him returned to his home within 24 hours of leaving us is the only thing that has made our overwhelming pain and loss bearable.

I don't know what we would have done without Jason during this process.  He responded quickly to our needs, despite that it was on a Saturday and was understanding, patient and supportive throughout the arrangement process.  When he returned our precious 'Bunny' to us on Saturday evening, Jason was extremely professional and expressed a genuine sympathy for our loss.  His warmth and compassion will not be forgotten.

Jason and FCM, thank you beyond measure for your compassionate kindness to our Faithful Companion - it genuinely means more than you can know.

Bill and Toni

 You have no reason to know or remember us, or our " ALEX ", but we will never forget you!

Some people call them " pets ", but " ALEX " was our friend, and  your help, kindness, and compassion after our loss of that friend was evident, and greatly appreciated, even at long distance, and over the phone.

We don't want to ramble on, we just wanted to let you know that even though we grieve over our lost friend, you and your staff have impressed us, and to say
THANK YOU.
 
- David and Lynn

I finally got around to sending you this thank you that is meant from the bottom of my broken heart. Your staff treated my best friend "Brody" along with my husband and myself with the most professional and caring support that I can't let go unnoticed. I thank you ever so much for all your understand and gentle care you gave to us. 

I feel so blessed that we were able to find out about your business through going to the Detroit Dog Show. You made us feel like we were very important to you, asked repeatedly if we needed anything. I was so happy that your staff let us stay and watch our Brody go through the process and come home with us afterwards. I feel grateful that I never left my best friend's side. And I have you to thank for that peace of mind. Thank you ever so much.
 
- Carol and Doug

"We have n

ot met in person, but you were kind enough to come in and take care of our little dog, Casey, last Sunday. I held her head while she died, but could not find the strength to come to your facility. My husband, Brian, told me that you were very kind, and sat with him and talked. He said that the entire process and you in particular, exceeded his expectations.

We both thank you for coming in on Sunday for us. We know that it must be costly to open your facility for one customer, but it was very important that at least one of us be with Casey. We are grateful that we were able to bring her home that same day. Thank you for helping to make a very distressing time for us a little easier to bear."

- Kathy

"Thank you will never be enough to say for the kindness you showed towards my little Henry. As you can see, he was a tiny little man but he had a heart bigger than most human beings. When we got him, he was already infested with something, we never found out what. I wasn't going to run him through a battery of tests to find out.

I only had him for about 7 months but it seemed like years. The pain I am going through this week is unbearable but I have no choice but to go forward. My husband was extremely overwhelmed at your kindness and the layout of your facility - it was very relaxing."

- Lynda

"We had to put our beloved Niko down in April. My husband and I were devasted. You made a terrible time in our lives better. I can't even find the words to say how we felt. Thank you a million times over for your compassion and patience. I told a friend about how wonderful your family treated our Niko and us. She called you just last month when she had to put her Sandy down. You are wonderful people. It is so important to know that our pets are treated with dignity and respect. Again thank you."

- Mary

"On behalf of my family, I wish to express our heartfelt thanks for all you have done during the loss of our beloved boxer Sally. From the first call to Jason, to Tim's call of sympathy and support, to Rick making the removal - all done with great care and compassion, we are all grateful. Sally passed away doing what she liked best, barking at the rabbits. It was a great comfort knowing she would be treated with dignity and respect. Thanks again."

– Glenn

“In my grief I felt it important to tell you how grateful we are for the treatment we received from Faithful Companion Memorials. From my tear-filled initial contact with Jason who couldn't have been nicer. He explained the service to the smallest detail. He was sincere and so understanding about my loss. I asked a special favor of him. I wanted some of my pets fur to keep. He replied, "Certainly, I'd be happy to."

Our Ginger Came home today, she was delivered by a very nice young man dressed as though he just came from a funeral home. He handed her to me and offered his sympathy. He was patient and kind as I showed him a picture of her. After he left I looked inside the little gift bag and there were the locks of fur I'd asked for along with a darling poem on the loss of a pet.

The way this difficult time was handled and the timely manner in which it was handled is very much appreciated. I feel secure in the fact that my Ginger was well cared for down to the last detail. I wanted you to know that your much needed service is worth every penny to this grieving family. Again, our sincere thanks."

– Susan

– Steve, Joe and Angela

– Bobby and Linda

“How can I find the right words to thank you? I was amazed at the kindness that was expressed to me during my loss. Your staff did not minimize the loss of my pet. And, I was so comforted by the way everything was handled and the personal attention to the details. I am forever in your debt!"

– Kelly

“I have tried several times to write this note to you but just couldn't finish it. But I feel the need to thank you for the care and treatment you gave our dog. We had to give our Golden Retriever Valentino the final act of love and let him go. I had a different company before cremate my dogs, never to meet them and only to wonder how they were taken care of. At this difficult time I found comfort in meeting you and seeing how Valentino was taken care of. Our dogs are our family and mean the world to us.

I have mentioned to my friends how well we were taken care of by you and the respect Tino was given. Also to have Valentino returned to us so fast, that meant a lot to us to have him back home. When I'm in the area I would like to stop by and visit your facility. Once again. Thank you."

“My name is Benn. I met you on the 28th day of May. I was there to see Boston before he was cremated. I think it is wonderful service that you are offering. It meant so much to Lorrie and LeRoy to see Boss one last time. It meant a lot to me also. Thank you for helping my friends find some closure for their loved one. It is a wonderful thing that you are doing."

“Thank you so much for all the time you spent with me. Your understanding with my loss of Cody let my heart know he was in good hands, the right hands. Also allowing me to bring in Cody's brother, Shiloh's ashes so they could be put together in one urn is very generous of you and something that means everything to me. They were very close in life, so now they can be together again. Thank you!"

“Thank you so much for being there when we had to put Sampson down. He was such an important part of our lives and it was a difficult decision for us to make. The fact that you were available at 1:00am just goes to show what kind of service you guys provide - nothing but the best! You should be very proud of your family's business. Everyone from FCM always comes to our practice with a smile on their face. You guys are always so sincere and professional and it never goes unnoticed. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for helping in our grieving process. You are very sweet and I will always remember your act of kindness."

“I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your kindness and compassion during my loss of Emma. Your thoughtfulness was above professionalism. You made my extreme and overwhelming loss of my best friend and family to me bearable. The crematory itself was warm and very pleasant yet beautifully efficient. It was a pleasure to meet and know you. You have a gift to make one feel comfortable and genuinely interested in their pain and loss of a beloved companion.

My loss of Emma really hit me when I got home, went into the house and had to realize my beloved Emma, my Baby Em was not there meeting me at the door with glee. As I said of my beliefs, I know she is in Pet Heaven happy and healthy with Sassy Lynn. Thank you again for helping me through my loss of Baby Em."
