I can't say enough good things about this place. My family lost out Rottie Massimo yesterday. The entire process was emotionally draining but the staff here was wonderful. The two gentlemen I met at the crematorium were nothing but caring and fully accommodating. I and my family were very pleased with the final presentation.

Unfortunately we had to put our 16 year old lab, Dakota, down this past Monday. Our veterinary office uses Faithful Companion cremation services. In addition to Cole Veterinary Hospital making our tough day more bearable, Faithful Companion did an excellent job. Our paw print we ordered was nicer than I ever could have hoped for, I was very impressed. And everything was finished and returned to me very quickly. Thank you for everything. ??

What a fantastic service! We received Lilly's ashes around 9 on a Sunday morning, less than 24 hours after being put down. It was nice to receive her so soon, to know she was back home helps our healing process. Thank you so much for your professional services, we highly recommend you to everyone who loves their pets.

Dear Faithful Companion, on April 4, 2017, my Police K9 Thor (11 y/o) while working and while at the park exercising had passed away (possible heart attack) right after returning to the truck. This was pretty emotional for me and we decided to have him cremated. We had him taken to Faithful Companions in Royal Oak and when I picked up his ashes the Urn/Keepsake was beautiful and brought me to tears again. Thank you so much for caring for my pa... Read More

Dear Faithful Companion, I am so grateful for the prompt and caring service that your company provided during an extremely stressful time. My boy Kwazi was first to be cremated when he died 3/9/16. One year later his brother, Ngozi died 3/8/17. They are now together once again at the Rainbow Bridge. Love and Eternal Thanks, Phyllis Caver

I've been familiar with your services, as I've worked in veterinary offices that have used your services. Unfortunately, it was my turn to personally use your services in July 2016. We brought our dear Anya to your facility and were treated exceptionally well. It was a nice, small office that didn't make us feel uncomfortable. Your staff was incredibly supportive, kind and patient. I didn't want to leave my Anya, but knew she would be in good han... Read More

Thank you for the way you cared during one of the saddest times in my life. It's true. You have to trust people you never met at a tough time in life. It ended up that I felt all of your staff was trustworthy and genuine from the person who I first met, to the staff who helped carry Luke out of the car and the guy who came to the house. Best regards, Jason

As our family knew the time was coming for our 14 year old dog Diesel to cross the rainbow bridge I had made several calls to find the best route for our family to go with this process. I was not comfortable with having to wait a week or longer to get him back home to us as both of my boys (19 & 9) grew up with him and when I made the call and spoke with Tom, he eased my mind and helped us through the process. My husband is a truck driver and I ... Read More

My kitty was put to sleep on Sept.28,16. The vet recommended their services for my long-time companion who was elderly and ill. They did a wonderful job,returning her ashes in 24 hrs. This was my first experience, and highly recommend this company. Thank you.

We were blessed to have our Golden Retriever, Aslan, 10 years and he passed away very surprisingly one afternoon. We got Faithful Companion's number from our vet who strongly recommended them. We wanted to grieve and celebrate Aslan's life so we called Faithful Companion's at 8AM the next day. Within a couple of hours Jeremy arrived and he was so gentle and loving and supporting. We couldn't imagine a more perfect person to come out to our hom... Read More

Our family recently lost our 14 year old dog, Bailey. She passed away peacefully at home, but my husband and I took her to the Vet just to confirm that she was gone. Coincidentally I had researched pet cremations near me just a few weeks before Bailey died, and I came across Faithful Companions in Cedar Lake. I’m so glad I did! We called Faithful Companions from the Vet’s office and spoke to the owner Tom who said they could either come pick ... Read More
