What some of our friends have had to say about Beloved Companions

We take great pride in helping companion families during their time of need. We are proud of what those people have to say about us and we pledge to continue to maintain your trust and respect.

Eight years ago David handled the cremation of our beloved 15 year old yellow lab/ golden retriever cross. It was an extremely difficult time for us, but David made it easier. Our dog’s ashes were put in a beautiful wooden display box that stays in our living room. Last week out 18 year old cat was cremated by Beloved Companions and Peaches took great care of us with this difficult time. Beloved Companions treats our precious pets with the care and respect they deserve. They also show amazing compassion to us during a very difficult time.Our cat is now in a beautiful wooden box next to our dog’s ashes box. Thank you Beloved Companions for providing this needed service in the most professional manner possible.

My dog was my beloved companion for 17 wonderful years so I wanted to make sure his ending was as graceful and pain free as I could possibly give him. I did my homework beforehand especially on cremation places and also on where I wanted my dog to be euthanized if it came to that. Beloved Companions in Avon CT had great reviews, and my phone calls to them to discuss plans for my dogs final day when it came was met with caring, patience, and understanding and I didn’t want to deal with anyone else but Beloved Companions. I did at home euthanasia, pickup, and cremation for my little guy, and I am so glad to report that all went smoothly without any glitches whatsoever, allowing me to focus on my beloved companion and saying goodbye, completely free of added anxiety during such a sad and difficult time. Thank you all at Beloved Companions. Toby’s mom. 🌹

They were so kind & comforting to us. So patient with us with our many questions that we had. I strongly recommend them. It was such a long day. First we went to our local vet & got bad news. Then we went to an animal hospital that had an emergency room to see if they could operate on the tumor in his mouth. Unfortunately, he couldn't be saved. So we took him out for an hour to spoil him with things to eat that he'd really enjoy then brought him back so they could peacefully cross the rainbow bridge. They waited for us to drive the hour to them. She even gave us a little time to say more goodbyes. We appreciate it more than you could possibly know.

I cannot say how wonderful it was to have this agency assist our family. My parent’s beloved dog Patches passed away at home and being a larger dog I was unable to get her to the vet. My parents were unable due to their own physical limitations. I called and Peaches was wonderful on the phone and explained all the options to me in such a kind manner. Dave, who came to the home for Patches, could not have been more compassionate and supportive. He gave us as much time as we needed to say our final goodbye to Patches and was so patient and respectful with her. Thank you for your kindness during a heartbreaking time for us. We appreciate it and highly recommend your services to anyone in need.

I can't put into words how wonderful this place is. I unexpectedly lost my Zoey at home and called and spoke with Peaches, and through my tears she was so empathetic and kind, answered all of my questions and explained the process to me and set up my appointment with Justin who I met with the next day, he was also so empathetic and kind. I didnt feel rushed or pushed, and was allowed to have a moment with Zoey before i left. I felt like my pain was understood, which meant alot to me. I cant express how much I appreciated the kindness from these people. They made this process of cremating my pet seamless and it was quick, I had her back with me in 2 days. Theyre prices in my opinion are resonable too. I will use this place again for my other pets and will recommend to anyone looking for this kind of service.

Lost our beloved cat of 19 yrs. The staff was compassionate and caring as we dealt with the process of losing our pet. And we're willing to meet us on our terms and hours related to his passing. Not only do they offer after hour services but even offered to pickup at home. Though we met them at their offices behind Battistones. Hope you never need their services. But, if you find yourself in this position. Don't hesitate to reach out to these caring folks!!

I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for us. Choosing Beloved Companions for the untimely passing of our furbaby, was the best choice I could’ve made. From speaking to a 24 hour on call operator, the lovely Peaches, to meeting with Justin, the director, it was the best service from start to finish. We were all treated with the upmost care, compassion and respect. Our pet was treated with compassion and dignity during his transition to rainbow bridge. Thank you Beloved Companions and all the staff. We appreciate you and all that you do.

Upon the loss of my cat, I met with Peaches Miller at Beloved Companions and she could not have been more kind, helpful or professional. Everything was handled in a very dignified manner and I received my cat’s ashes in a beautiful, wooden box within just a couple of days. I also received a paw print as a remembrance.

It was such a pleasure to have the care of our beloved pet be in the hands of Dave. He was very professional, provided us detailed information about their packages and was very understanding about our loss. We appreciate the services and the delicacy of the craft put into the process in the return of our pet. I highly recommend coming here, their services will not disappoint. Thank you Dave for the after care of our little one.

I can not say enough good things about this service. What a wonderful caring group. From the vet , vet tech., the gentleman who picked him up, and of course the caring woman who put it all together for us. Sox is no longer in pain or being medicated twice daily. These are wonderful, caring, gentle people. Thank you all for making this process more bearable. ❤️😿

I used Beloved Companions for both at-home euthanasia with one of their veterinarian partners and private pet cremation services. Dr. Eva was extremely easy to work with. We scheduled a home vet visit in West Hartford to put down my dog over the phone, she was extremely kind and mindful of our needs while my dog died, explained everything clearly, and asked for consent during different phases of the process. Dave and Peaches were also very kind and helpful in coordinating my dog's remains. The staff they sent to my apartment were kind and thoughtful, and we received my dog's cremated ashes in a small brass and wooden box (as well as a clay pay print and certificate of private cremation) from their Avon location the next day. Note that you *will* have to speak with both Beloved Companions and one of their at home vets separately if you want both services, but the day-of everything is coordinated seamlessly. I would absolutely recommend Beloved Companions for both mobile in-home pet euthanasia and for local pet cremation. The cost was higher than at the standard vet, but being able to have an amazing final memory and knowing I received my dog's ashes (not the ashes from a communal cremation) helped us tremendously.

Can not express how compassionate and caring beloved companions is used their service for the first time 10 years ago and again in 2022 the staff is not all about business but about you and your feelings. They make the process of finishing your fur babies goodbye easy. Very nice to have someone in a difficult time treat you so well. I will highly recommend them always. Thanks again Beloved companions.

I was hours from reaching our new home in town when my sweet princess of 13.5 years passed peacefully in my car. Not knowing where to go I reached out to a local community on social media who unanimously recommended Beloved Companions for her after care. Very distraught and upset with how this new chapter was beginning, everyone in this company was very compassionate, kind, understanding and reasonable. I did not have to wait long for her to be returned to me and I am pleased with the work they performed. Thank you again for honoring my beloved companion

Recently, my beautiful little girl (my cat, Princess) passed away at home. Initially, I was extremely emotional and had no idea where to turn. However, after contacting this service, I was both relieved and reassured. Both Dave and Peaches conveyed their sincere condolences and readily understood the depth of my grief. They made the process absolutely seamless and have gone above and beyond in offering continued support and ensuring Princess arrived home safely. I highly recommend Beloved Companions—their professionalism, compassion and empathy is nothing short of extraordinary!

I would like to thank "Beloved Companions" for the way they handled the cremation and return of our boy Jackson after his passing. A few things really set them apart. First and most important is compasion: they handled a sensitive and emotional situation with respect and concern. Secondly the Urn is beautiful and a reflection of Jackson. Finally the home delivery made things easier. In the past I had to stand in line at the Vet with tears filling my eyes, to pick up my pets remains. Thank You for making a difficult situation less difficult. Keith, Burlington, CT

Beloved Companions are a responsive, compassionate and reasonable pet funeral and aftercare service that help people manage THE HARDEST aspect of being a pet lover! My first experience with them was recent and it was phenomenal. As sad as it sounds, I'm much reassured having found them, knowing I've got a plan for my pets in the future. My sweet little Morkie passed quietly at home in my arms after valiantly fighting kidney disease. After a moment of gratitude for his peaceful crossing(at home! In my arms!) I realized I had no idea what to do next; he died the night before scheduled in-home euthanasia appointment with Lap of Love. They were going to take care of everything, and I had no idea what to do with his body, and it was already 11pm on a Tuesday! Lucky for us, Lap of Love returned my call and walked me through handling Lucky's little body until the next day****PLEASE also see my 5 star review of Lap of Love!!!***) The next morning, I called my vet about cremation. The receptionist told me bring Lucky in, they could hold him until 'weekly cremation pickup' . I would need to call the office on arrival so 'they could meet me at the back door'. While I absolutely LOVE Lucky's team of vets, I was disgusted with this idea. Also she didn't even offer condolences! (I won't name the practice because the doctors are outstanding!) I said no thanks and looked up pet cremation services on Google. My first and only call was to Beloved Pets. Dave arranged to pick little Lucky up within the hour. He arrived on time and showed nothing less than true compassion, empathy and professionalism. I am so grateful that I did not have to bring Lucky anywhere, and that pickup was so quick. Dave carried Lucky to his van, gently and lovingly as I would have myself. I had a really hard time letting Dave and Lucky actually leave, and he was SO patient and kind, and gave me all the time I needed to say goodbye. I spent at least 15 minutes halfway in in the rear end of Dave's van, saying goodbye to my sweetest little boy. Dave had a schedule to keep and my neighbors were being nosy, but I didn't care and neither did Dave and I believe that Dave is the person who instinctually understands that grief is as complex and varied as we are, and he clearly honored mine. As far as the other variables, I found Dave's prices were very reasonable, competitive to industry standards. He's very responsive, by phone and text(which was a plus for me!) Lucky was ready to come home well before a week went by. I still haven't picked him up, partly because I'm far from the business, but probably also due to fear or some other psychological gremlin. Not once has Dave pressured me to pick up Lucky's urn. Matter of fact, I bet if I asked, Dave would probably drop by with Lucky next time he's in my area. He's THAT kind of guy! Thank you so much Dave, for bringing Lucky on his final car ride🐾♥️🐾

I've sat in front of the keyboard trying to figure out the best way to convey that Beloved Companions and Pawz at Peace helped turn a horribly sad time in our lives into the most comfortable one possible. My wife and I have been devastated for the two years following our little dog's diagnosis with Congestive Heart Failure. For two years, he fought hard and enjoyed his life the best he possibly could. He was an amazing part of our lives and brought so much joy. However, when it was time, it was very obviously... time. (For that, I'm thankful. He had such a strong spirit that... when the time came that he couldn't fight any longer, it was very plain to see.) Completely heartbroken, my wife had heard of Beloved Companions and Pawz at Peace. We called, and Peaches was very kind and considerate. She helped us make our appointment on the same day of the call and being able have things done at our home felt right. It's not just our home; it's his home, and he wouldn't want to say goodbye anywhere else. We were able to assist our dog in his passing outside in our backyard. Dr. Shannon came, and I don't know that we've ever met somebody who was more capable of handling such a loaded and difficult situation. There is basically a powder keg of emotions involved with all of this, and Dr. Shannon navigated that path with such kindness and grace and helped us say goodbye with dignity and respect. Our little guy was not in any pain during the process, and we're confident that he's at home in heaven with Jesus. My wife and I were very emotional, and Dr. Shannon was loving and patient and showed such care. So did Vince, her assistant. We are very thankful for the gentleness and kindness your company offers. May God bless you.
