    I'm so very happy that I found, honor thy pet on Google search! They were so very kind when my emotional support dog Ziggy past suddenly August 6th 2023. He was my baby. And my best friend! They were so kind and understanding so respectful of my wishes for my Ziggy! Not only did I get his ashes returned, but his paw print and a bag of his fur Ziggy was 9 years old soon to be 10. Honor thy pet respected all my wishes and honored many condolences to myself and my family! I would highly recommend honor thy pet, for whomever may need this type of service for their fur babies. I'm very thankful for everyone at honor thy pet! I think some so very much! God bless you all for everything you do for our fur babies and the treatment and respect shown to me during this terrible time! I recommend them very highly! Thank you, Marie Loveland.

    Let me start by saying that I could not be more satisfied with the service we received at Honor Thy Pet ♥️ I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is dealing with the loss of a pet of any kind. We have never cremated a pet before, so when our beloved bearded dragon Spikarina passed away we were at a loss. They made the experience smooth, they treated our pet with so much care and respect, and overall they made what is a very difficult time for our kids and us a little bit better. When we brought our pet in, they could see we were really struggling with the loss and suggested adding on a handprint plaque. Let me just say, I am SO happy we did, it came out absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much to everyone who participated in making our experience as wonderful as it could be ♥️

    I called HTP around 11pm and they were at my home within an hour, which is exactly the time frame that they gave me. The transporter arrived and took his time with ever little detail despite my husband and I being a complete wreck. When they called to let me know the ashes were ready, I was still having trouble accepting what happened, getting myself to choose the urn I wanted and going pick him up. They encouraged me to take my time. I called and let them know what urn I chose and he was ready the next day. Carmella, one of the owners of this family owned business, came and sat with me personally. She spoke with me for a little while which helped me a lot. She explained the process and what took place. The ink and clay nose prints they took were amazing. Everything was great from the transporter to the customer service over the phone to the pick up. Thank you to everyone that was involved in this process for Diesel ❤️

    My family has had 4 pet cremations through Honor Thy Pet, the most recent being at the end of August 2023. I’m just now able to look through the things sent back with my pets ashes. A heart shaped paper with flower seeds embedded in it. A packet of Rosemary, and a Certificate of Private Cremation with a condolence message. It’s too difficult to read and wrap my head around these things when they first come back but when looked at later on I can appreciate them more and see the kindness in the gesture. I appreciate these things and I’ll save them until I can plant the heart or leave the rosemary. To the people at Honor They Pet, thank you for taking good care of the pets I have loved. Thank you for handling them with dignity and respect. Thank you for being gentle with them and kind to me. They have all meant the world to me and it broke my heart each time one left. Thank you for this important service you do.

    Our beautiful little girl, Lady Bell, passed of spleen cancer May 18th. We had taken her to Blue Pearl emergency pet hospital, also absolutely amazing, who directed us to Honor Thy Pet for her cremation. Staff at both the hospital and you all were so kind and helpful. We received updates through the whole process. When I asked my husband to contact you all about taking prints of her paws, he was told your facility didn't do that. So when I picked her up today and saw you all made an actual casting of her paw for us, I absolutely broke down in tears. I can not thank you guys enough for taking such good care of our beauty queen. She truly was and always will be our love, light and protector. You all did an amazing job of honoring her and we couldn't be more grateful. The rosemary and heart shaped flower seeds are such a beautiful touch and will be planted in memory of our beautiful little Lady. Thank you all again 🙏

    Loved my experience. For such a horrible position to be in, losing a loved fur baby, they made our situation very comfortable and peaceful. She explained everything to us from how he was cremated to what his urn was made out of, cleaning/care, how we can switch urns and even purchase and assist in cremation jewelry. The extra gifts like the wildflower heart and rosemary packet made everything even nicer. Such an understanding and loving environment. 100/10 recommend!

    This company is heaven sent! Our sweet fur baby passed away unexpectedly at home. I was in absolute shock when I found her and had no idea what to do, so I did what everyone does when they don't know where to go...I went to Google. I found this company and called them right away. Everyone I've spoken to at this company is so unbelievably kind. They took our information and were at our house within a few hours. They were so respectful of the situation, even stopping to ask my young son if he was OK. It is heartbreaking to need them, but our family is so grateful Honor Thy Pet exists. They've been wonderful every step of the way. As much as it hurt to see our fur baby cross the rainbow bridge, she left our home in wonderful hands.

    Honor Thy Pet is wonderful. I was referred to them by Lap of Love (also amazing). They were kind, caring and sincere. They were patient and never pushy. There was a slight error at pick up which was able to be resolved by their staff almost immediately. I am sure the fact that I arrived early for my appointment contributed to the issue (I was given the wrong bag with items that belonged to another family. I signed for my boy and was on my way, without inspecting the contents). When called, I hadn’t reached home yet and turned the car around quickly to accommodate all. I was probably less than 10 minutes away. I felt I was “helping” but was verbally attacking by a crazed member of the other family when I returned with the bag given to me by their staff. I can only assume the woman was mentally ill. At any rate, the staff stepped in and handled the matter professionally and apologized profusely. My only suggestion would be that Honor Thy Pet should consider offering “curbside” service. Given Covid, the emotional aspect, and the fact that you deal with a spectrum when it comes to mental health and emotional maturity, this might prevent future incidents. That said, I want to stress that I find no fault with the lovely young lady who assisted me that day. She did her job as expected and at the pace I asked for. The error itself was no big deal.

    I have nothing but good things to say about this company! They took such good care of our sweet boy and making sure he was retuned to us. I did not have them come to my house as his death was unexpected (he was only 6 and was in heart failure with no symptoms until 2 days prior) and he ended up passing away at Blue Pearl. This whole situation has been extremely hard for me and my husband but having these pieces to remember him by mean so much to us. I opted for the complimentary sunset urn because I did order a more personalized one from Etsy, although they have a ton of options and more on their website. Anyway here are a couple of pictures of our sweet boy, Obi ❤️

    Honor Thy Pet was very compassionate, when we went to bring our Dillon’s cremains home. Everything was explained to us in detail, and we were given the opportunity to ask any questions that we had. Honor Thy Pet partners with Lap of Love, which made the stressful and emotional process of Euthanasia much easier for us. It is comforting to know that these two services work together, taking care of you at the beginning, and at the end of the Euthanasia experience. I would recommend each of these services, if you are going through the end of life with your beloved pet. Honor Thy Pet also will make a house call, and is available 24/7 should your pet pass naturally, and not need the medical assistance of Lap of Love. Thank you !

    This place is beyond amazing. The staff is fantastic. We did not know what to expect when we got there. The moment they open their door and greet you, they are there to help. They escort you into a private room and go over everything. They have so many different options and choices for your beloved pet. We had two really sweet young girls help us the day we dropped Oreo off, they even gave us extra time to spend with him, before leaving. It took a little over a week to get him back, we ordered some personalized items. When I picked Oreo up, this extremely sincere man sat me down and pulled out everything to make sure I was happy with everything. The urn with his name was beautiful. We even got his pawprint with his name on it as well. They even put an extra heart of wildflowers in the card, to plant for your beloved pet. On a side note, our pet passed away on a late Sunday afternoon, we didn't think anybody would answer, but somebody did. Anytime we had any questions, somebody always picked up and it was always with a caring voice on the other end. I highly recommend this place.

    I could not have asked for a better experience. They did an incredible job with his foot print, and gathered everything I asked for like his ankle band and some of his blue feathers. The heart wild flower starter is such an amazing touch and we can’t wait to plant it in his honor. The rosemary for remembrance is also such a thoughtful addition. The urn is more beautiful than I could’ve imagined, and they were very respectful and compassionate every step of the way. You’re in great hands here

    I just want to thank honor thy pet for helping us at a time of great need. I lost my little dog Coco after eight years however, despite how hard it was to lose her I have to say that the service that you provided made things much easier. They were prompt and efficient and caring throughout the entire process. I think you very much.

  • 5/5 Gabriel G. 7 months ago on Google
    I’ve used Honor Thy Pet’s cremation service twice and both experiences were positive and sensitive, considering the situation. They took care of Blue and Charlie for me and made sure the cremains were carefully stored and contained. They asked all the right questions but not too many to be overwhelming and their prices are quite reasonable. The paw print impression is a beautiful touch. They handle everything and do it with compassion.

  • 5/5 Abigail K. 7 months ago on Google
    Everyone was very respectful. They were timely and efficient. I would definitely recommend using Honor Thy Pet should you unfortunately need their services. Thank you to the team for making a sad and difficult time, less stressful. I know my Ollie was treated with care.

  • 5/5 Yvette S. 8 months ago on Google
    Empathy and professionalism is exhibited at this business. They take the time to provide the details of what’s next. They arrived at my home to care for my beloved dog and handled him with care. Upon arrival at their facility to retrieve the ashes, they showed compassion and care. I didn’t feel rushed. The entire process was handled with dignity. I would recommend this company without hesitation to any pet owner who has experienced a loss.

  • 5/5 Joseph F. 10 months ago on Google
    They were just amazing how everything was handled and how our beloved cat was taken cared of. They came and got her quickly and professionally and the turn around time was awesome. Thank you so much for everything you did and if anything dreadful should arise again, we would definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Rebecca D. 10 months ago on Google
    Thank you for taking care of us during such a terrible time for our family. Our 18 year old baby, Baxter, passed away in the early morning hours. I called Honor Thy Pet later that morning and they kindly and compassionately guided me through my options. Within an hour, a crew was at my doorstep to respectfully and kindly take Baxter's body for cremation. We opted for the clay pawprint upgrade, which is so nice to have. The sunset urn is beautiful. When I stopped in to pick him up, your staff knew exactly what to do, and they were ready for my tears. The extra touches like the rosemary and the wildflower seeds to plant in his favorite spot really brought us comfort. Thank you again for going above and beyond to carry us through dark times.

  • 5/5 David B. 10 months ago on Google
    Words cannot describe the amazing services provided by Honor Thy Pet. The compassion and empathy they deliver at this time of need should be recognized by anyone looking for this type of service. This is my fourth loving pet they have taken care of for me. When you are looking for the best and caring services for your per, please contact them!! It is a difficult time for anyone losing a pet, but they make the transition easier.

  • 5/5 Winston B. 10 months ago on Google
    I highly recommend this place. They met us on a Sunday early morning and showed so much compassion. The person we spoke to on the phone was also very helpful and compassionate. With their help, it became slightly easier to say goodbye to our beloved pooch Savannah. She was 17 and led a beautiful life. She gave us so much joy in the 14 years we had her. 😢❤️

  • 5/5 Kristen J. 10 months ago on Google
    The people here are so caring and understanding about how hard it is losing your baby. They really helped us through every step with caring hands. I would definitely recommend Honor Thy Pet to anyone that has the unfortunate experience of losing their beloved pet. They know your animal is not just an animal they are family and they treat them as so.

  • 5/5 Adriana A. 1 year ago on Google
    Losing a pet can be just as painful as losing a person. This company was super informative and gave us the proper expectations. They told us dispatch would take an hour to an hour and a half but the driver showed up in 30 minutes! The driver also provided their own blanket to wrap our puppy in and expressed his condolences. They told us Coco (our puppy) would be ready in a week, but the turn around time was 4 days! They suggested a beautiful beach urn and also had a nice selection of other urns if you wanted to upgrade. We opted for a clay paw print mold as well which was beautifully made and they gave us proper instructions on how to take care of it. Not to mention they are 24 HOURS & FAMILY OWNED! Not big corporate. 10/10 recommend anyone whose animal has passed and WILL recommend them!

    If you find yourself in need of this kind of service look no further. I needed them in the middle of the night. A very nice man came within the hour and handled our sweet girl so delicately. We received her ashes back with the week. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Victoria R. 1 year ago on Google
    Honer Thy Pet was so helpful, fast and reliable. I lost my puppy Coco and HTP was there within 2 hours of my call to pick him up. The service man was extremely nice and I got the remains back within 4 business days. They are a one stop shop who handled the pick up, the cremation, the urn, foot print mold, clippings, certificate, engraving and delivery. This is my second time using Honor thy pet and would recommend them to anyone.

  • 5/5 Sheila T. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently lost 2 of my dogs in less than 2 months. I had the pleasure of allowing Honor Thy Pet to take care of both cremations. Losing my boys has been by far the hardest thing I’ve experienced in life. I will say Honor Thy Pet was beyond spectacular! The vet took care of everything with my first one and he was returned home in just one short week. The Red Mist box is beautiful and I couldn’t be any happier with my boys final “bed”. Unfortunately, my second boy passed at home and I had to make that dreaded phone call. The gentleman, which I learned is the owner was very sympathetic and patient as I was crying hysterically. He explained everything to me in detail and made sure I understood and had no concerns. As I had used them less than 2 months prior I knew what I wanted. Fast forward, Tyler arrives as scheduled to pick my boy up. Upon entering the house he showed nothing but professionalism. He too was sympathetic and understanding. He went over the service contract with me to make sure it was as I requested. He offered to step out and give me time to say my final “see you later”. I love how Honor Thy Pet allowed my boys to be cremated with their favorite personal belongings. My second boy was returned home just as perfect and only a week later too. I highly recommend the Red Mist box… it’s so beautiful and peaceful. I especially recommend Honor Thy Pet to any pet owner seeking final arrangements.

    My sweet Bella passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly at home... I was devastated to say the least the day I contacted Honor Thy Pet. The driver showed up to pick her up around 830pm. He was so kind and respectful the whole process. Everything was explained well, and I got her back the exact way described. I am so grateful this service exists 🙏 I will 100% be using them and recommending them in the future.

  • 5/5 Chris C. 1 year ago on Google
    Exceptionally professional, compassionate and responsive. Highly recommend their services. Carmella and her team are great people to work with during such a difficult time losing our animals. We've used them twice and know they will always deliver excellence. Thank you Carmella.

  • 5/5 Kerri V. 1 year ago on Google
    We never want to lose a loved one. It is one of the most difficult things we have to go through in life. My husband and I have lost 6 pets that we have always entrusted Honor Thy Pet to make the final arrangements for us. From the first one we lost 8 years ago to our most recent loss this past Tuesday, they have always been available for us. They are the most empathetic, compassionate and caring people we have ever met and had to deal with in this difficult time. They were even available for us on Christmas Eve at 1 AM when one of our precious babies passed unexpectedly. We will always use and always recommend Honor Thy Pet for anyone who needs help with the final arrangements for their fur loved ones. This is a family owned business and they treat you as part of their family and they treat your babies with so much love and respect. From the people who come to your home to pick up your loved one, to everyone we have ever spoke to on the phone and in person to the delivery of your loved one back they have the best employees. Thank you one and all for your outstanding service in the most difficult time ever.

  • 5/5 Alicia F. 1 year ago on Google
    Words cannot express just how truly grateful I am for EVERYTHING that the entire staff did to help me get through this painful & heartbreaking moment. Although I have had to make the worst decision before in putting my dog to sleep (5yrs ago) I was not at all prepared & had no idea what to do or what steps to take last Tuesday night when my pupper took his last breath & his vet had already been closed. I had googled pet cremation places & this one came up with many great reviews & so I called. The lady on the phone was so caring & informative & gave perfect detail, the gentleman who came out to my home to pick up my dog was very respectful & patient. Anytime I have called to ask questions about anything, the staff was just amazing. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby. It’s people like you that make the hardest of times much easier & less stressful for those that are heartbroken.

  • 5/5 Shani B. 1 year ago on Google
    I have used Honor Thy Pet twice, both for my reptile babies that passed away. At first I felt silly for enlisting their service for a small pet like a gecko or a chameleon but they treated me and my loved ones as if they were just that, loved ones. I had them come to my home each time to pick them up and I had private cremations with the footprints plaques and each time they were delicate, caring and prompt! Losing a pet is like losing a child or a friend and they truly treat it as such. Animals provide so much love and joy and purpose to our lives, its nice to have a reliable place to turn in that dark time to provide service and treat my pet with love and care in the end. Vets don't offer private cremation unless you want to pay an arm and a leg and even then you don't have a way to ensure you are just getting your pets' remains. This process it organized and transparent. I COMPLETELY RECOMMEND THEM. Also, I prefer to make my own urns for my pets but they have a wide selection of small to large urns in various styles to choose from.

  • 5/5 Elena H. 1 year ago on Google
    We lost our beloved sweetheart bunny who have been with us for 6 years and our family started with him even before our daughter was born. I was at home without my husband when he passed away and it was almost midnight, I was absolutely lost and didn't know what to do because I couldn't just keep him like that and wait till the morning. So I found Honor Thy Cremation in Google and called them right away. I even do not remember the conversation I just gave them our address and they told me there will be a person who will take care of everything in an hour. I was doubting anyone will help me at this time, but I was wrong. I am sorry I don't remember the name of the guy who came to our place, I was a disaster , but the way he took the time to communicate with me about every detail and giving me time to focus on what we want for our loved one and what options we have was priceless. We ordered the urn and 2 silver pendants with the paw print and engraving and today we took our baby back home. They scheduled an appointment at the convenient time and talked to us and everything was above and beyond our expectations. The urn, the certificate with his name and our family's last name, the pendants and even little bag with his fur and a card with a heart of flower seeds which we may plant in honor of our loved one. We left the office with the feeling of sadness and relief at the same time because it was a feeling that we did our best to honor the member of our family. Thank you guys. Yes it costs money but it worth it and it is absolutely heart warming and gives a peace of mind to the families who are going through the tough feelings of losing someone special. Thank you again.
