We are incredibly grateful for the work Paws Remembered does and for the love, dignity, and respect they showed both our beloved Henry and our family.

I cannot praise Steve enough for his kindness and compassion during a tragic time for our family…read more Our sweet boy, Boss, was killed by a car Tuesday night, the week of thanksgiving, we found him around 11 pm on the side of the road. Not knowing what to do in a panic, I googled pet cremation and came across Carolina Pet Cremation. On the website it said 24 hour service was available and you could call or text anytime. I honestly didn't expect an answer this late, the day before a holiday, or to be able to take him anywhere that late but I texted to see and almost immediately he responded. Steve said he'd wait there for us to arrive (we were an hour away), it was after 1 am when we finally arrived. Steve was so patient and kind with us. We said our goodbyes and handed out sweet boy over to him. He had Boss ready by 2 pm on the next day before he left to go out of town. Our Bossie Boy was 10 years old. He may have been small but his place in our heart is huge.

So I called Steve and got him directly. He told me to take Giles to a local vets Carefirst, that he uses for his facility.

I didn't expect all I got, besides the personal care for me, I got what you see in the pictures that have been posted. I would recommend this a thousand times!

The professionalism and courtesy extended by this group far exceeded any expectations. So impressed…read moreand grateful! When our 14-year-old golden retriever, Jack, passed away, I was at a loss for what to do next but I knew I had to act quickly. Jack weighed 85 lbs, and with an infant at home, the idea of managing everything on my own was overwhelming, more like impossible. I initially contacted a more established service in Jacksonville, NC, but they required me to transport Jack to them, within an hour! I am on Emerald Isle and even without an infant this would have been impossible. They gave no other options. So I looked on google and found this amazing group, Dignified Pet Transport, and I am SO GLAD I did. From the very first call, Nick was incredibly reassuring, telling me not to worry about anything. They immediately offered to come pick Jack up, and I felt such a sense of relief. Their service was prompt, professional, and compassionate, exactly what I needed in that moment. Not only was their service top-notch but their prices were also better than the competitors which was another welcome relief. When they returned Jack's ashes, I was blown away by the professionalism and beauty of the presentation. They brought our Jack back in a beautiful, high-quality cedar box with his name on a gold plate, and they included a print of his paw as a keepsake. It was such a thoughtful and touching gesture--truly a beautiful thing. If you're looking for a service that offers everything you need when a pet dies (prompt courteous service, compassion and kindness, flexibility, price and ease of use) you have found the only place you need. Dignified Pet Transport blew me away with how incredible they are at every single step of this difficult process. I'm so thankful I found them in a time of need and I am eternally grateful for how easy they made such a difficult situation.

Ignore those reviews because they are amazing! Ok down to business, I can not thank Mr. Kevin enough for the ease that he helped us with the the passing of our bud Spud. Spud passed on the weekend during a terrible storm that hit Carteret county. Mr. Kevin offered to drive to our farm ( Millcreek) to pick up my baby. I was worried about safety so we all agreed to meet first thing that next morning morning at Sacred paws. We drove down to the small private office and cemetery on the property and I was stuck by the fact that it was just as our fatm. ( County, rural out of the way and quite just as Spud knew in life) The office was clean and amazingly organized with plenty to choose from from urns besides the ones that he provides for free. Being a Marine family and totally organized ourselves ( I have Ocd) I had already shown my husband the urns on website and he choose the one he wanted. The process was seamless from that point on and he could read the difficulty I was having ( Spud was almost 16 and our original baby) . He made sure a nice soft bed was on the cart with a pretty afghan to cover. He gave me so much time to say goodbye and also allowed us to have Spuds favorite blanket and his Sheep ( Lambikins) cremated alongside him. ( Two other place had said no so screw them.) Mr. Kevin talked to us for a bit and made sure we knew the expected turnaround time ( 1 to 2 days at most such we got there first thing) . Next day he called and my baby was ready! At pickup he made sure to talk to us some more and that we were totally happy with everything. His urn is beautiful and perfect and the sweet touches of many extra paw prints and the letter meant so much to us at this time. That being said we are a Marine family and over the last 20 years we have had 5 of our beloved babies cremated into two other states.......Sacred paws is the first time I did not feel as if we were just a paycheck for the service. If you go expecting a funeral home, sorry you willl be disappointed. However if you want that personal touch of a family that honestly cares, these are the most understanding people to deal with. We are now in NC permanently and will continue to use them until we ourselves leave this world. Marines understand Marines and the way we deal with loss. To have someone else understand you makes ghe world of difference. Thank you Mr. Kevin for everything again. Spuds family The Olson/ Bells

I never thought I would be reviewing a pet cremation organization. I am brokenhearted to share that…read moremy pet goats were mauled to death by neighborhood dogs off leash. The goats were larger than a large dog, and we were unable to bury them on our property due to their size. We called our veterinarian, and they recommended Companah. When I called, Sean spoke with me in the gentlest and most compassionate voice. He outlined our options and made an immediate appointment for our goats. We drove down to the location, and we were greeted by the sweetest, most gentle young women. The first thing they said was that they were sorry for my loss. I seem to recall a gentle hug. They brought out carts and carefully loaded the goats. They spoke with me about our options for aftercare for the goats. In a few days, we received a message that our goats were ready to go home. I drove up and picked up the packages. The young woman again was so deeply kind and gentle. I was overwhelmed with the quality and craftsmanship of the memorial pieces I bought to remember my goats. I kept waiting for someone to make fun of me for wanting to preserve the goats in this way, to tell me it was silly or unnecessary. But the entire staff treated me like I had lost a family member, an aunt, a mother, a father. I did lose two family members. The staff at Companah Pet Cremation and Aftercare treated me with dignity and respect. I did not get anyone's names; I was too broken.
