My own experience with Pet Cremation Services now Lasting Paws Pet Memorial Services is that within the last month or so they have doubled their prices for private and witnessed cremations for individuals. For example, the price for a private cremation for a 26 pound dog is quoted at $314 as of today June 13, 2022, compared to $175 for a 33 lb dog on May 2, 2022.
The upcharge for the pet owner to be present to witness the cremation is quoted at $250 as of today June 13, 2022, compared to $150 on May 2, 2022. The reason given by one phone representative is the corporate buyout by Lasting Paws. While some increased costs are understandable, due to factors such as increased cost of natural gas, these price increases seem excessive.
For example, a reasonable person would think it does not cost the facility a penny more for the pet owner to be present during the cremation than it did a month ago. Yet they have nearly doubled the fee for that. I think that if Lasting Paws/PCS were genuine about their stated values ("as pet parents who have lost companions ourselves, " etc), they would not find it necessary to jack their prices so high so abrupty. Witnessed pet cremation is a niche service.
Huge amounts of good will, referrals, recommendations are associated with that niche. So good luck to PCS/Lasting Paws. I am disappointed, dismayed with them, and also heartbroken that I will not be able to obtain the same services for my recently deceased elderly beagle as I have for all the other elderly dogs I have adopted and cared for many years.
I doubt I am the only person who will be affected by this change. This company has gone from tops to bottoms in my view. Excessive profiteering off bereaved individuals is not acceptable in my view. Please note that I am not saying anything negative about any of the individuals who work there, who generally have seemed sincere and nice.

When my dog passed away a few days ago I took her here to be cremated. When I arrived there must have been a misunderstanding on the phone as they had her name in their system as "Lizzy" instead of "Lucy." They said it wouldn't be a problem and they would correct the error. Fast forward a few days later. I purchased a clay paw print of my dog and went to pick it up.
They had it ready and I took it home. The packaging it was in had my dogs name, Lucy, correct on the label. Unfortunately stamped in the clay is the name "Lizzy." I guess they didn't update their system soon enough. There isn't a whole lot they could have done to rectify their error since they can't resurrect my dead dog from the ashes and give it another shot.
What they could have done is at least let me know of their mistake face to face when I picked up the print and apologized. Since they couldn't be bothered to let me know about the mistake, I can't be bothered to contact them about it. Instead I'm leaving this lovely review as a reminder to Pet Cremation Services that accountability and basic courtesy are important. Aside from the above I thought they did a good job.

I've never lost a pet and this was a painful process to go through but Carlene (I believe was her name) was very compassionate and patient when helping me decide what to do with my dog. The gentleman who took him out of my car was so gentle with him it put me at ease that he was in good hands. I appreciate everything the staff did to help me through this tough time. Thank you.

Brought both of my doggies( my little sisters) that i had with me for 18 years. It was soo hard when both of my doggies died a year seperated. I found out about this place and honestly it kept my heart warm knowing that my doggies were in a safe and caring place. The staff there was great, were soo kind, and grabbed my doggies with such warm loving care.
I recommend this place 100%. It is hard to say goodbye to your loving pets, but the service here really helps you feel better, and stay strong. Also I loved the loving card I got in the mail! that was sweet of the staff.

Carlene was extremely compassionate and helpful. She helped me figure out what worked best for my cats name plate and just made the process smooth. I've never had to deal with the loss of a pet (really more like a family member) and she was patient with me even when I changed my mind a few times. Couldn't be happier with her service and that of the company as a whole. I received him back within days along with the beautiful necklace and nameplate. Everything was nicely packaged. We can now remember our loving cat Pekka forever

I can not express enough gratitude to the amazing staff at Pet Cremation Services in Wheat Ridge. The care and compassion they provided was above and beyond. Elanie (hope I'm spelling it right!) was unbelievably patient with me and so caring with my Dark Angel I couldn't have trusted a better group of people with my baby kitty. After spending 19 years with my little lady I've found it very hard letting go and Pet Cremation Services has made it possible to keep her close to me forever. I will be forever grateful!

Our beautiful Lab, Thor passed away March 18. He was our whole world! The staff at Pet Cremations Services were wonderful, we could't bear to load him up so the staff sent someone to our house to pick him up. They handled him with such care and tenderness as if he was their own dog. We picked up his ashes a few days later. The staff were wonderful!

This has been the best pet cremation service. The over the rainbow memorial is one of a kind and I have gotten it for two of my dogs. I plan on continuing to utilize them for all my pet cremation services. They took great care and even sent a card afterwards. It seriously was heartwarming and knowing my princess was taken care of til the end, puts my soul at ease.
I had one place in the past who didn't look after one of our dogs and still til this day I feel like I did my dog a disservice. So it's been a great experience with my other pets through this place. Thank you for your great care and sympathy it's been 4 years since my last pup passed and I'll never forget the great service I received.

They were amazing! I lost my baby May 10th, and within 2 days I had her ashes and a little paw print of hers. They were so thoughtful and considerate and gave us a very reasonable price compared to others, and it wasnt a communal cremation, we opted for the shared one where there is a divider but we still got only her ashes they were the absolute best, highly recommend if you ever lose your furry loved one.
