From the moment we connected with them,…read moreit was clear that we were in the hands of people who genuinely care, not just about the logistics, but about the people they serve and the emotions involved. Their compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail were evident in every single interaction. Everything was flawlessly organized from beginning to end. They took the time to listen, understand our wishes, and personalize every aspect of the service to reflect exactly what we wanted. Their communication was consistent and reassuring, which brought us so much peace during a very difficult time. Victoria, in particular, was truly exceptional. She treated our loved one with the utmost dignity and respect, and her calm, caring presence made all the difference. On the day of the service, every detail was beautifully executed. We didn't have to worry about a thing, they took care of it all, allowing us to focus on honoring and remembering our loved one. We are forever grateful for the incredible care and support we received. Rest Haven made an incredibly hard moment feel manageable--and even beautiful.

Thank you to Resthaven for making this process easier for us.

The cost was $500 just for the cremation, which through a non-emergency vet would be around $200. Because of the holiday I could not transport the body to a vet and so paid up. Then I was shown a folder of memorial urns and items I could buy. I was appalled. Grieving people do not make good choices, but usurious Agape thinks it can make more bucks by playing on our sorrow. But the real horror, after all that, was finding out my cat's cremains were being shipped through the post office--the cheapest way possible and so insulting. sending your pet home on a mail truck. I was able to get the cremains off the truck and to the vet, but for $500 I should have received Fed Ex kid glove treatment. I fault the vet clinic for using this greedy company. I have had other cats cremated and have never experienced such treatment. I just wonder if the ashes I get will be my cat's--some places take videos of their cremations, but I expect Agape has no proof the ashes are whose they say they are. Shame on them.

I'd have HAPPILY driven to the facility to retrieve them if given the option- which I was not. The thought of him in the back of the truck all day, bouncing around with people's online shopping orders made me sick. Then I get the ashes, and when I went to take 1/4 tsp to send away for memorial jewelry, it was nearly impossible to get 1/4 tsp of smooth ash as the container is FULL OF BIG BONE fragments! I cannot believe how lazy and uncaring this company is. Utterly heartbreaking experience. EDIT: I would like to note that a manager has called, twice, and offered a refund, additional mementos and to reprocess. He confirmed that the state I received Max back in was not up to their standards. I appreciate his sincerity, and just wish this never happened in the first place.

Never did I anticipate today would be my last day with my 12 year old dog Eddie. Following a…read moreroutine dental cleaning yesterday, Eddie sadly succumb to a weakened heart while I was on an errand. For months, Eddie's hearing and eyesight were beginning to fail so in some ways today's passing was not a complete surprise. Still, the shock and disbelief to return home from the hardware store and find Eddie no longer alive was so very painful for me. From the minute I called Forever Faithful to make sure it was open I felt an overwhelming sense of empathy, welcome and reassurance Eddie's cremation needs would be met. My drive from Montgomery County on Georgia Avenue also known as Rt 97 through Howard County into Carroll County provided a optimal time to grieve as I drove along nature in abundance. When I arrived and exited my car I was welcomed and offered assistance the minute I was greeted by a staff member. Once I got settled in the welcome room with Eddie laying peacefully on a dog bed covered with a piece of clear plastic, the process to make cremation selections was presented with much empathy and no pressure. During my drive home I was most grateful to have been able to give my beloved rescue dog a loving lasting tribute thanks to Forever Faithful. I am so very grateful.

Know that your vet most definitely has cremation services and clay paws, as it's all done by the same company because one company bought out all the pet cremation services offered to big vet companies. I know... wild. This one felt like the right one. They offered pretty much the same services as the vet, but a little extra touches, like offering more clay paw prints, ink paw prints, and more variety of personalized urns. All that In Memoriam offered was right for our situation because our dog was our first family dog and the first dog that we had to help cross over the rainbow bridge. I understand memorial items aren't for everyone, but it's what my family and I wanted in our dog's memory. They offer a pick up for a fee if you're in the NOVA area and don't want to drive your euthanized pet to the crematorium. We also opted for that as well. Thank you, In Memoriam.

They are currently temporarily closed during the pandemic, but I wanted to stop to write a review of them. We have 3 small dogs. When we go on vacation, we rent a "run" so the 3 can stay together and have plenty of room to run around. They also offer smaller pens and you can get "playtime" and "walks" etc. We've been using them for years and our dogs have NEVER come home sick or sad. They always come home happy and healthy, which is huge with a kennel. We went through a period last year, where I literally had to board them every weekend for 2 months due to a family situation on the west coast, and they came back to me happy as clams every week. Their prices are also SUPER reasonable. The owner is very accessible and friendly. On the grooming side, Nicole does a great job! I've had them groomed several times, while staying there. She does a good job interacting with the dogs and they come out looking adorable and smelling great. My dogs are a bit nervous of new people, but they took to her immediately. She's a sweet person and a great groomer with very fair pricing. I highly recommend both the boarding and the grooming.
