I got rid of my car a few years ago since I live in the city, and this day just happened to be a terrible rainy weather day. They have a pick-up service and sent someone to pick her up in the terrible weather. The lady was super nice and explained to me what I could order and expect. That pick-up service was so nice considering the whole day and the fact that I was pretty useless at that point. About three weeks later, on a Saturday, I was able to pick up my little girl at the place which is located inside Bohemian National Cemetery. You can tell that Bob really cares about all the animals that come through his door. To the wonderful ceremony and especially to the part that I was especially fighting tears over: the little rubber ducky who would be Sophie's best friend in heaven. Sophie loved toys like no other dog. I have so many wonderful keepsakes of little Sophie. Thank you a million for taking such good care of my little girl.

Throughout this painful time, Bob treated us with exceptional kindness, compassion and respect. The care and attention Bob put into Belo's cremation meant so much to us. The beautiful mementos and keepsakes he provided, including Belo's ashes and fur, were prepared with such thoughtfulness and dignity. These treasured items have brought our family great comfort and have given us meaningful ways to keep Belo close to our hearts... We are deeply grateful for Bob's professionalism and empathy. During one of the hardest moments our family has experienced, he provided not only a service, but also comfort, understanding, and lasting memories. Our family highly recommend Bob to anyone seeking someone who will care for their beloved pet with the utmost dignity and respect.

This is a must read:…read more Unfortunately, I had to put down my little man, Turbo due to heart failure.... I was hassled around by 3 vets including my own until I found one who was absolutely so professional and kind. I called Kozy Acres and spoke with Casey. I told him through my tears the situation and he asked a few questions (weight, name, breed). He said bring him in and they will be waiting.... Firstly, just from the phone call alone Casey was absolutely incredibly sympathetic but in such a professional way. Secondly, I was scatter brained and called again to confirm the time I would be bringing him in. He called back promptly and apologized since they were in the middle of cremation- he didn't have to apologize but he did. Fast forward to finally making it there.... I believe it was Tom who came to the front and once again treating us like we were family and sharing stories of his own dachshunds he had. He was kind, sympathetic and gentle through the whole process. There are good people out there and then there are amazing loving caring souls - that's Kozy Acres. They do not miss a beat when it comes to a proper, respectful funeral and cremation and or burial. They have so many memorial items to choose from. So many was to remember your pet. He said we could view the process in the AM when they would do the little animals for private cremation. Casey called at 7:30am saying it would happen at 10am. I think what got me the most was being able to view his beautiful little body at peace wrapped up in such beautiful blankets. This is the most calming and peaceful place. You are not waiting weeks and days for ashes. You are not waiting for answers and you treated like a family member here! Thank you so much Kozy Acres for the beautiful gifts and the most precious time with my Turbo! This place is absolutely truly special!

A complete insult to me as the customer. It's absolutely appalling to think someone would do that with the ashes of my dog that had just passed away , a total lack of remorse. He said he is 65 years old now and has been doing this since he was 19, you would think he would have learned something during that time. We wanted the paw print which was not told to us during our visit. I called in to inform about my issue of having to explain to my 4 year old son that we won't have the paw print. The employee took the form from me without bothering to explain anything, not even the price. The employee then went on further to say it's my fault for not knowing their services. They did not apologize once but instead kicked me out and followed me to my car shouting insults. kozy acres is owned and operated by completely incompetent degenerates.

If you're reading this review, it seems reasonable to assume you are faced with an impossible…read moredecision you hoped you'd never have to make, shopping for a service you'd hoped you would never need. This is how I felt when I reached out to Peaceful Endings. While the decision itself will not get any easier, Peaceful Endings will make the weight of the decision more manageable. A few weeks ago, one of my cats was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The news came out of nowhere and I was absolutley devastated. While we were able to borrow a little time after the diagnosis with the use of sterroids, the grim reality was that her quality of life could drastically decline at any moment. I knew I couldn't let her suffer like that, but also couldn't bring myself to schedule her departure. I'd called so many home services, but was continually met with the necessitiy to schedule for a few days out. After days of calling, I had just about given up hope, and since it was one of the first beautiful days of the year, she was having a really good day, and I just wanted to enjoy it with her. As I sat watching her sunbathing, I told myself I needed to try at least one more time--if I could let her go on the highnote of the beautiful day, it would be the best chance I had at finding peace with the situation. I pulled up the only service that I had yet to contact, and submitted their online form. It was near the end of their office hours, so I told myself that if they reached out and could make it happen, it was meant to be. A few minutes later, I was answering Megan's call. She was so sweet, listening as I tried to give her the information between sobs, assuring me that it was alright and that she understood how painful this decision was. After the appointment was finalized, she stayed on the phone with me, giving reassurance that I was making the best decision for my sweet girl, even though it felt so horrible. This carried me through the next few hours. The time of the apointment came, and I received the text that I had been dreading: Dr. Emily had arrived. Allowing her into my home was the easiest and most difficult decision I've ever made. I wanted so desperately not to need her services, but I knew it was what needed to happen. Looking back, I'm so grateful I didn't back out, as much as I had wanted to, because I couldn't have asked for anyone better. She had such a calm and kind demeanor, offering reassurance that I was making a compassionate decision. She was so gentle and caring from the moment she arrrived through the time that they left. If you are looking for a sign, let this be it. Reach out to Peaceful Endings, and know that you don't have to carry the weight of this decision alone. Thanks to them, my sweet girl was able to pass peacefully at home, snuggled in my arms, at the end of a beautiful day. I'm eternally grateful for this, and hope they know how much peace it has brought me in the days to follow.
