  "Opinion: Our family dog Mia Bella passed suddenly this afternoon and I contacted this company hoping to put her to rest quickly. Although they were closed when I called , they met us at the funeral home and took care of her and everything that had to be done. We were all grieving badly as we had her for 14 years and they were amazing coming to our aid at such a devastating time. Their care really put everyone at ease and say goodbye to our loved one in a peaceful way. We definitely recommend this company . Mia Bella Alvarez 12/6/2010-9/5/2024. Thank you much 💜"

  "Opinion: This is a review we hoped to never have to write, but one that we know in our hearts we must. We were devastated by the sudden loss of our beloved 14-year-old cat, Lacey, just before Christmas. Ironically, a few months prior I had heard of, and briefly researched, Aquamation, never once allowing myself to imagine needing it any time soon. I saw Gentle Goodbyes and decided that I would reach out to them if/when the time came, which it did, much too soon. Having a small local business provide the Aquamation service seemed so much gentler and easier to accept than traditional cremation by fire with no personal regard for our sweet girl. We contacted Wayne at Gentle Goodbyes, after midnight, the night we lost Lacey. He waited for us to make the long drive from the emergency veterinarian office to his location, graciously meeting us there around 1:30 am, no questions asked. He was warm, kindhearted, and empathetic to our situation. With patience and compassion, he helped guide us through the awful circumstances of our meeting and we will be forever grateful for that. He treated us, and Lacey, with the utmost respect. He allowed us to cry, encouraged us to talk and reminisce about Lacey, and shared with us how his heart led him to start Gentle Goodbyes. In all of our communications, Wayne was careful to use wording and language that was sensitive to our loss and of our feelings. When it was time to bring Lacey home, he was equally as considerate and he dignified Lacey through his kind words and comforting demeanor. I cannot stress enough how thankful we are that we found Wayne and trusted him with our precious girl’s final resting. I have no doubt that he truly honors all the beloved pets entrusted to him and values the opportunity to provide a bit of peace to the grieving families. Because of him, we can honestly say that as heart-shatteringly difficult as it was to lose Lacey, it was indeed a much gentler goodbye for our cherished girl."
