DO NOT USE THIS PLACE IMO. I feel misled and very…read moredisappointed by the experience I just had with Whispering Pines Pet Cremation, cremating my pet chicken Mayra. It is hard enough to lose a pet, without a negative experience from the place that is supposed to care. 1. The ashes are supposed to be light gray, or white, and a fine powder. These ashes were black, and had bones and other gravel like material in it. This is from it not being done at a high enough temperature, and not pulverized properly. 2. They said the container would have her name on it, which I assumed would be engraved with her name on the container, but alas it was a cheap Avery label, with her name written in pen, and the sticker was put on roughly and askew. 3. The ashes were put in a cheap ziplock bag. 4. The box had a ribbon tied around it, with dog paw prints. Mayra was a chicken, not a dog! 4. When I went to pick her up, they said to pick her up in the front office. I saw the horrible sticker, and looked at the ashes, and went to knock on their front door. I could hear them inside, but they did not answer. I had two previous chickens cremated at another crematorium, the box was engraved with their names, the ashes were white and fine, and in a nice plastic bag. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone. You get what you pay for.

Our beloved kitty passed away unexpectedly. We wanted to find a respectable pet crematory for him…read moreso that we could spread his ashes on our property. We looked on yelp and Whispering Pines came up on top based on our needs. It wasn't the easiest place to find but they are located on Gravenstein Highway South, between The Barn and the alpaca farm. When you drive into their driveway, you will notice a little building in the front that asks you to ring the doorbell for service. We never went inside this building but it may be a place where you say your final good byes to your beloved furry friend. Ron came to the door of the residence. We were invited inside to complete a form. As I was completing it, a pretty orange kitty came to say hi. He was so friendly and sat next to me, and then he gently put his paw on my thigh. What a sweetheart. I think he could tell I was hurting inside. Ron was pleasant and told us that we would receive a call when Henry's ashes were ready for pick up. At 9:15 am the following morning, Wanda called to say I could stop by any time. I certainly wasn't expecting such a quick turnaround. Henry's ashes were in a black upright plastic container and tied around it were two ribbons with footprints. I was comforted to have him home again. Whispering Pines met our needs perfectly. We will spread our baby's ashes soon so we didn't need a special urn. Thank you Yelp for guiding us during a very sad time.

Our beloved dog Delilah passed away in the early morning of April 7, 2024 at the age of 13 years…read more Her passing happened on a weekend, and many of the locations that I contacted were either closed, couldn't pick up until another day, or couldn't do a pick up due to us not being part of the area they serviced. It was already a stressful situation as it was. Thankfully, Pets.RIP was available at any hour of the day, so I made a call to Kwasi who answered my call and answered all my questions that I had. Kwasi is definitely a gem of a person; he is very compassionate, and being a pet owner himself, he understands the stresses that a passing of a beloved pet can have on its owner and family. There was no rush on when he could pick up; he told us to take as much time as we needed and to call him when we were ready for her to be picked up. After he picked her up to have a private cremation done, we kept in contact with him and he provided updates on when her urn would be ready. After 10 days from when he picked her up, he contacted me to let me know that her urn was ready. He went above and beyond and drove here to personally bring her to us. We would have been okay with having to pick her up from where ever she was, but the fact that Kwasi did this really touched us. Again, he is truly a gem of a person. Her urn was a beautiful sheesam urn with a nameplate of Delilah on it. Seeing it made me cry because I missed her, but also happy that she is finally back with us. If you ever need a private cremation (they also offer communal cremation) for a beloved pet that passed, please do not hesitate to contact Pets.RIP. The prices are reasonable, and they will take care of you from the moment you contact them until the time you receive your pet's urn.

Cheryl is truly amazing. I had to reschedule a few times because I simply wasn't ready to say…read moregoodbye, and she was incredibly understanding, patient, and accommodating throughout the process. Her calm demeanor, compassion, and presence brought so much comfort during one of the hardest moments of my life. Charlie Bear was so much more than a dog, he was my constant companion for 15.5 years, through every chapter of life. Saying goodbye was heartbreaking, but Cheryl helped make an impossible day a little more bearable and Charlie went so peacefully.

I was scared to hand her over because I didn't trust that I'd actually get her ashes back (I fear some places lump all pet ashes together). I called all over the bay area and no one gave me enough confidence until I spoke to Dr. Ramos from P.E.R. She actually spent a lot of time hearing me out, then making calls to ensure all of my fears were just that- fears. I was treated with respect and kindness. When I brought my baby to the center I was given space and time with her to grieve before she was taken. This was much harder than expected so their set up and process was appreciated. The team was very communicative and helpful. When her ashes were returned to me a couple of weeks later, I was extremely touched that they felt moved by my baby's story and had kindly added little treasures that I will always cherish. I never expected to lose my beloved pet and I don't wish this on anyone, but having this team help get me through it was a gift. If you're reading this it means you're probably grieving your own loss. I'm so sorry. Have faith and confidence here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dr. Ramos and Pets Eternal Rest team.

I wanted to shoutout the staffer who helped us, Kass, who was very friendly, responsive and respectful and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. There are some options when a pet passes. We scheduled our vet to help us with in-home euthanasia, and we made plans to bring our dog to Golden State. They had a room available to us to say goodbye, we even brought our other dog with us to say goodbye. The have a variety of package options (custom urns, etc.), we had our own plans in mind but Kass was not too pushy in trying to upsell options. When you dropoff a pet for cremation, they say they will turn that around in 7-10 business days, I think they did it in 6. It feels a little weird to review a pet crematorium, but we have another dog at the moment, and we'd consider using Golden State again.

From the unexpected very first phone call the day before, they patiently walked me through the process while I was extremely emotional and overwhelmed. They were calm, kind, and never rushed us. The gentleman who met us at the hospital to transport our baby was thoughtful and respectful. We chose a private viewing and cremation, and while it was more expensive than other options, I wouldn't trade that experience for the world. When we arrived at the facility early the morning of, before the viewing or cremation, we brought breakfast as a small thank you for their compassion. They were genuinely surprised (said it's never been done before), which only spoke further to the selfless care they provide. We were given a private room set slightly away from the reception area, which provided much needed privacy. The room was simple but serene, with a couch, tissues, and a infant changing table style setup. Our baby had already been peacefully laid on the changing table with a small blanket, as if he was just sleeping. Being able to close the door, take our time, hold him, talk to him, cry, and say goodbye without interruption meant everything. They then carefully explained and showed us each step and allowed us to choose how involved we wanted to be, which we deeply appreciated. The whole process only took a few hours and our soul baby was rested in a nice temporary urn while we waited for our custom one. Our requested paw prints, nose prints, and hair clippings were also ready and prepped for us. This was our second time losing a fur baby, but our first experience with this company, and I truly cannot imagine handling such a loss any other way. Highly recommend.

I cannot say enough about Peaceful Pet Passing and Dr. Bob Linett…read more From the moment he walked into our home, the way he spoke to Skylar and all his kind and comforting words to us, made it a little easier to say goodbye to our beautiful girl.

He took time to walk me through the many options of arrangements for my angel. My boy arrived home yesterday in a beautiful engraved box along with prints of his nose and paws. Though this is a call no one ever wants to make, Dr Bob's empathy for the situation is clear from the moment he answers the phone. I cannot express my appreciation for Dr Bob and his work enough!

I couldn't not bring myself to have taken him to the vet office to put him down after his last visit, he was scared and knew in my heart if I had to put him down it would be at home where he grew up and spent his life. Dr Smith came a bit earlier but was very empathetic and comforting. He explained the process and made sure I knew I could take the time I needed. As we went through the process he explained to me and reassured he was fine. He was gentle and gave me alone time for me and my other pet to say goodbye. My Snoopy came home exactly a week after he was put down so I was very happy that the turn around time was fast. He is definitely someone I would recommend but hate that we have to use these services, my only wish is that we could have our pets longer period of time.
