We had just lost one of our cats that was part of our family for years devastated our family had to have him put down because he was very sick and unable to be helped. We didn't want to just bury him and we only had limited funds because of the vet bill. We called faithful Friends pet crematorium and spoke with rachel and asked them what their price was. $125 was their fee and we told her we didn't have that much.

And was disappointed about the response then she said that she could work with us on the payment. We were ecstatic about the response. We took our big boy in and sat down with Rachel and went over everything with her. My wife and youngest and I were so pleased with everything we had discussed. Fair pricing, very friendly and kind staff in this great time of pain. We left their with love in our hearts for this place. I will highly recommend them to anyone that asks or needs services. Thank you faithful friends pet cremation!

The unexpected death of our dog, Tia, left us not only grief stricken, but lost as to where to go for her care and cremation. The death occured on a Friday night, on a holiday weekend. We tried to contact several areas, all of which were closed. Early the next morning, as we again started our search, the "Family and Friends" website popped up. We left a message and within twenty minutes we received a return call stating that they would be more than happy to help us in this emotional time of need.

Not only could they help with the cremation, they could also drive to our home to get our beloved Tia that morning. We had no words to express the relief we felt during such a difficult time. Wilma arrived and was so warm and kind. She gently helped my husband wrap Tia and place her on a stretcher into their vehicle. The process from there was compassionate, organized and filled with little extras that touched our hearts. We will never forget all of these kind people.

My family would like to express our gratitude in everyone at Faithful Friends. We lost our dog after 17 years and Faithful Friends was there to help us put our Duncan to rest. Everyone there was compassionate and took the time to help us out with getting things taken care of. They were even there to meet us after their normal office hours to take Duncan from us. I would recommend them to anyone who needs their services and will choose them again in the future if the need arises.

My wife and I would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for the love and care they showed to our fur baby Tucker. They went above and beyond to have our boy ready as we unexpectedly had to do the unthinkable on 12/04/2022 when we said goodbye as Tucker crossed the bridge. We were heading back to Canada on 13/04/2022 and these fine folks had our baby ready later in the day so he could be with us as we travelled home. We loved what you were able to do for us on such short notice and appreciated your professionalism in this sad moment.

Very professional and kind, my dog passed and everything happened so fast. This place made me feel calm and they even came to my house to pick her up the day it happened. They came back to deliver the same week and called to make sure we were okay, the nice package had a paw print, a piece of her fur, and her ashes. Highly recommend

I just want to say Thank You Faithful Friends for your utmost respect and care for our Swat. He was such a huge part of my life and was the last part of what I had with my deceased husband. When you have to go through losing a child (Swat was my baby) it is never easy but knowing that there are people like you out there who care so much, that is so reassuring. Now Swat is running free with his brother Davis and his daddy Rodney. Thank you again!

Faithful Friends took their time to listen, grieve and console me when my beloved dog passed away. They spoke of her by name, asked questions and offered all services available. They truly make you feel at ease with their loving and thoughtful process of cremation.

I cannot express my heartfelt gratitude to the kindness and compassion shown by the staff at Faithful Friends. We lost our beloved boxer of 13 years and chose Faithful Friends to say our final goodbyes. The gentleman was professional; worked with us on selecting the appropriate urn; and accommodated a special request that I had. While I don't hope to visit for a long time, I will certainly choose Faithful Friends in the future.

My name is Warren and my service dog and best friend was dead Sunday morning when I woke up. I didn't know who to call and had planned to take him Monday morning to Pasco County animal shelter for "last rights". Being at a loss, I went to Zephyrhills Police and dispatch there put me in contact with your company. I spoke with Brandy, who was more than I could have hoped for.

She didn't rush me and offered professional suggestions to ease the stress in this time. Damon was the first to arrive at the time we had agreed on which gave us a chance to talk. I informed him Robert had been my service dog and best of friend. I had undergone cancer surgery a few years ago and I am in recovery now and that Robert had been by my side every step of the way.

When I was sick at night in the bathroom Robert had been there "giving me kisses" in my time of need. I went of your website and read how you feel about pets, and after meeting Damon I knew that you were the ones to care for Robert. I hope that people read this review and it helps them in the decision they may have to make when the time comes. Thank you for all you did for me and Robert. warren Smith

The staff are outstanding... friendly, polite, caring, and went above and beyond to help make this as painless as possible. we are snowbirds and lost our sweet young pooch unexpectedly and this was made even more difficult being away from home. They really treated us extremely well and we are truly grateful. May God bless them abundantly.
