While
we
used
Heavenās
Pets
under
sad
circumstances,
I
was
very
impressed
and
pleased
with
how
Heavenās
Pets
took
care
of
our
family.
I
honestly
could
not
recommend
them
higher.
Several
years
ago,
I
had
received
some
mailers
from
them,
and
in
June,
I
had
a
great
informational
call
with
Althea,
and
was
able
to
ask
a
lot
of
questions
about
how
I
wanted
to
remember
my
dog.
I
was
able
to
complete
a
pre-arrangement
plan
for
when
he
did
pass,
and
I
felt
that
it
gave
me
some
peace
of
mind.
They
donāt
require
payment
until
your
pet
passes,
and
thereās
no
discount
for
paying
in
advance.
I
also
felt
relieved
that
they
would
pick
up
my
dog
from
the
vetās
office
(within
90
miles
I
think)
of
their
office.
I
was
not
aware
that
you
could
hold
your
own
service
for
your
beloved
pet
as
part
of
the
private
viewing-when
I
opted
for
the
private
viewing,
frankly,
it
was
just
for
peace
of
mind
that
I
was
getting
him
back.
When
other
friends
or
family
have
cremated
their
pets,
they
usually
just
picked
up
the
cremains
from
the
vetsā
office
a
few
days
later,
and
Iād
never
even
heard
of
a
private
viewing.
Truthfully
though,
this
was
one
of
the
best
decisions
that
I
could
have
made
because
I
was
able
to
prepare
music,
flowers,
and
a
service.
If
I
wanted
to
bring
other
people,
pets,
or
even
children,
I
could
have.
(I
didnāt
feel
like
the
website
wasnāt
as
clear
on
this
point
too,
so
thatās
why
I
wanted
to
include
it
here
too).
The
private
viewings
are
scheduled
for
8am
so
that
you
can
receive
your
petās
remains
before
their
close
of
business
the
same
day.
You
can
also
bring
items
to
be
cremated
along
with
your
pet
(like
toys
or
blankets),
but
we
decided
to
cremate
just
him
(and
store
those
items
in
his
urn).
Deja
was
very
thorough
in
explaining
this
to
me,
and
couldnāt
have
been
nicer
as
I
was
crying.
On
Tuesday,
Althea
and
Mark
could
not
have
been
kinder
to
us,
and
were
so
thorough.
Althea
went
through
what
I
had
pre-planned,
and
made
sure
I
understood
exactly
what
I
was
going
to
receive
(because
once
your
loved
one
is
cremated,
there
isnāt
any
way
to
get
additional
paw
or
nose
prints,
or
fur
clippings).
She
is
extremely
detail
oriented
and
professional,
and
thoroughly
explained
what
to
expect.
We
agreed
that
we
would
hold
our
private
ceremony
first,
and
then
Mark
would
come
in
to
take
his
paw
and
nose
prints,
as
well
as
his
fur
clipping.
I
was
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
pray
over
my
dog,
and
speak
loving
words
to
him.
They
never
rushed
us,
and
our
ceremony
took
about
an
hour.
When
Mark
came
in
to
take
his
nose
and
paw
prints,
he
did
a
few
practice
ones
first,
and
I
received
them
when
I
picked
up
my
dogās
urn
later
that
day.
He
was
so
gentle
with
my
dog,
and
handled
him
so
lovingly.
Iām
not
sure
who
prepared
my
dog,
but
he
was
brought
to
us
on
a
rolling
cart
with
a
pillow
and
blankets-he
really
just
looked
like
he
was
sleeping.
It
was
actually
pretty
beautiful,
and
I
was
grateful
for
the
care
they
had
given
him.
They
really
did
a
wonderful
job.
When
it
came
time
for
the
actual
cremation,
Mark
was
thorough
again
in
explaining
what
to
expect,
just
like
Althea
had
been.
We
had
the
option
of
staying
the
whole
time
(which
would
have
been
a
few
hours),
or
leaving
shortly
after
we
watched
him
be
placed
in
the
crematorium.
We
opted
for
the
latter,
and
they
bring
you
a
laptop
to
watch.
Even
watching
Mark
place
our
dog
gently
in
the
oven
was
actually
a
healing
experience.
Altogether,
we
were
at
Heavenās
Pets
from
8-10:30am,
and
I
received
a
call
around
2:30
from
Carolyn
telling
me
that
we
could
come
by
to
pick
him
up.
They
close
at
4:30,
and
again,
Althea
couldnāt
have
been
nicer
when
she
gave
me
the
bag
with
his
items.
Again,
we
couldnāt
have
had
a
nicer
experience
at
Heavenās
Pets,
and
my
family
and
I
are
so
grateful
for
their
services.
Even
though
it
has
been
a
very
sad
2
weeks
since
we
lost
our
dog,
I
sincerely
believe
that
Heavenās
Pets
and
their
services
helped
us
start
the
healing
process.
We
will
forever
be
grateful
to
them
for
how
kind,
professional,
and
loving
they
were
to
us
during
a
very
difficult
period.
