He asked about our girl, made sure he knew exactly what we wanted (and that we knew exactly what services we were getting.) I felt total trust in leaving our pup in his care. We were able to have time alone with her to say final goodbyes. I emailed him on a Thursday evening and he called me first thing Friday morning and was able to help us that same day. Our girl was back home with us by Monday afternoon. Thank you so much, Scot. I will recommend your services to all family and friends. (Bonus that it's third generation family owned!)

Samantha, the owner, was there by the doorway and welcomed me with open arms as I cried on her shoulder. I thank you for that. As we were ushered inside, everything-the process, was explained so wonderfully and with so much patience and understanding. We picked out what we wanted and we said goodbye to our little girl, still warm to the touch and with a relaxed snarl on her lips. The website to honor your pet is wonderful and is a place I visit almost daily. Samantha delivered our little girl and everything was neat and organized and absolutely lovely. That care means and meant the world to me. Right now, my little girl rests on her favorite blanket and we rub the urn everyday. I also made use of the "Daily Affirmations" that is sent via email which is very thoughtful and useful. Thank you all for your amazing kindness, professionalism and huge hearts and affordability.

I cannot say enough good things about Bob Shaw and the Animal Cremation Society of Chicagoland. Bob…read moreis genuinely compassionate, respectful, and kind, both with the pets entrusted to him and with the families who are grieving them. Most recently, we lost our dog Ginger very suddenly after more than seven years as a deeply loved member of our family and a wonderful source of companionship and comfort. My first thought was to bring her to Bob because I knew she would be treated with dignity and respect, and that I would be treated with compassion as well. Bob provides individual cremation, along with many thoughtful options such as paw prints, urns, jewelry, and other keepsakes that help families remember their pets. He truly goes above and beyond during one of the most painful times a pet owner can experience. I am very grateful for the care Bob has shown Ginger and the other pets I have entrusted to him over the years. I highly recommend him to anyone facing the loss of a beloved pet.

I chose private cremation for my cat. Dropped his remains off in the morning and was able to pick up his ashes later that afternoon. (Note: Prices for cremation are much lower coming directly here than going thru your veterinarian. You eliminate the transportation and up-charge. And I honestly prefer to keep my pets remains with me and not hand them off to an intermediary.) Also, they have a nice selection of urns and pendants (to place a bit of your pets ashes) IF you are interested in that. But you never feel pressured to purchase any of that.

Forever Remembered has an informative website, and when I called to confirm their hours, the person answering (Chad) was kind and empathetic, just as he was, when I showed up a couple hours later with my precious parcel. He explained options and made arrangements. I was astonished at the quick turnaround time to pick up my girl's cremains-the next business day! Considering there is probably cool-down time involved, I was so surprised. He told me that they make an effort to provide a timely service and I really appreciate that, and it meant a lot to me, having waited over Christmas/ New Years Eve for my previous cat's return. The facility appears clean and organized and my cat's remains were returned in a personalized rosewood box which is beautiful; I ordered a paw print too, and it's very sweet. It was all presented in a respectful way, and the price point was absolutely fair for the service provided. I am grateful. I hope I don't need to see them again for a LONG time, but I am grateful they were there. While I miss my kitty oh so much, this does provide some comfort. If you're looking for the business, it's next to an auto mechanic and that signage is a great clue you're in the right spot.

PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING HERE!!!! Do not bring your pets…read morehere!! We brought our dog in to be humanely put down. We had hoped to help end the horrible suffering that began earlier that day. She was unable to walk and was crying/barking so loud it was breaking my heart. She had lived an amazing 15 years and it was her time. Once we got her into an exam room after filing out unnecessary paperwork, a vet finally came into the room and began examining our dog and asking all kinds of questions. Pushing on our dogs stomach making her cry even more. Then she tells us the she might have a growth in her stomach. Then walks out the door. Our dog is crying in pain and struggling to breath. We wait for about 15min before I walk out of the room to the front desk. I ask them when they will be in the room and why they thought pushing on my suffering dogs stomach was necessary. They didn't know what to say. I walked back into the room and continued sitting with my suffering dog. Around another 10 min goes by and my dog begins to vomit. She is unable to lift her head at this point and is choking on it. I could not watch her choke to death on her puke so I had to lift her head and try to get her airway clear. Finally able to get her to stop choking, I lay there holding my suffering dog as I listen to the vet and vet techs laugh and joke in the office area behind the exam rooms. A few minutes later a vet tech opens the door to find me and my vomit covered dog. The look on her face was panic. She ran to get an IV started and was screaming down the hall for the vet to get into the room. Once the IV was started and the VET casually with no urgency made her way to the room. We were pushed to the side and only able to touch our dogs rear legs. The VET injected the drugs so fast and never said any to us about what she was doing. The only thing she said when they all finally moved to the side was she has passed. It was one of the worst experiences I have gone through. Please do not bring your dog to this place. Please bring them to people with empathy and compassion who actually care about your pets and won't let them or you and your family to suffer the way we did while losing one of our fury family members.

It's the only person to whom I can take my skittish little black cat and not have her freak out and try and claw the groomer. In fact, Melissa is mystified that my cat ever acts out and scratches other groomers because she's a perfect angel for Melissa. I think prices are pretty average compared to other groomers - a little more than $40 a cat. All I know is it's well worth the drive and whatever I have to pay for my animals to be taken care of by such a good, patient groomer.
