Same-day Cremation - Beloved Companions

				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. 🌹

				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🐾♥️🐾

				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.
