Losing a pet is devastating, but Phillip and his team are amazing. They provided a referral for someone to come to our home and peacefully euthanize our precious Yorkie, Bella. Phillip showed up shortly afterwards to retrieve Bella, and provide some information about the process. His "bedside manner" could not have been better. He was positive, and brought levity to a very somber situation. He does the Lord's work. 10 out of 10! read more

A very good option to the standard pet burial or fire cremation... One my geriatric boys passed away last week from choking and vomiting from possibly dry throat from his CRF issues, despite being on subQ fluids low protein script food. I didn't trust or want to try and use Rose Golf's services after they tried their best to try and do a money grab after Rocco passed away... (He died as I parked in their ER driveway after a 5 min rush over to see if he could be saved...and 3 different females in scrubs tried to get me to authorize "resuscitation" and get me into a room to "register and fill out paperwork"... as if I could not see what that was... he's dead but let's try and bill for confirmation of no heartbeat. Thanks vet guy for giving me that info despite the vultures circling) Anywhoo I did a search and found this place close by, made an appointment and took Rocco over. It was quick and kind service and the guy was informative. My choice was the middle-tier group but separated steel partition cremation for $180. I think size is a factor so prices probably very by body weight. Went home and ordered a urn for him online but got his ashes back this week... before it came in, I just need to get a photo printed for it and maybe paint the statue to match. ... Love you sweetie... always. read more

We sadly had to put our sweet Smokey down and utilized Peaceful Ending for Pets for in home euthanasia. They informed me they had 2 cremation options, and after learning about water cremation, this was the option I chose. They use Pet Cremation by Water and my husband and I picked up his remains at their facility. Phillip is seriously so kind. Truly, it's fascinating to learn about water cremation. He talked me through the whole process of what they did with our sweet Smokey, and I felt so happy I opted for water cremation. They have such a cute area full of adorable jewelry, etc that you can buy for memories. I loved they offered this. The bamboo urn is very nice, and you get a certificate and tag with your pets remains. While I never want to use this service, I'm grateful it exists and will always use this option for my pets. It was also the exact same price as traditional flame cremation and you don't lose any of the remains. read more

This is my second time going to Cremation by Water, and I'm so thankful for their kindness and care. I first came for my guinea pig Cornelius and chose a private cremation with a clay paw print. This time was for Morris, and I went with a communal cremation and another paw print keepsake. Both times, the staff were incredibly warm, compassionate, and communicative. They made such heartbreaking moments feel peaceful and dignified. The pricing is very reasonable for the level of care they provide--I truly feel the value is there. Thank you for treating Cornelius and Morris with respect, and for helping me say goodbye with love. read more

I highly recommend Pet Cremation by Water, when our dog Howie needed to be cremated my wife and I found them and read a ton of their reviews and everyone had nothing but praise. The turn around was about a week, he got a private cremation, and the urn is just beautiful. The amount of ashes you get back is amazing, and they have a couple shelves of different urns and necklaces there, and Philips wife ended up filling them up for us there on the spot. The price was also very affordable for the excellent service they provide. My wife and I can't thank them enough for the gift they gave us for Howie, it made a terrible situation so much better. read more

Phillip and his team are truly angels on earth. Available 24/7 when you are going through heartbreak and horrible loss. I've unfortunately had to call upon Cremation by Water three times. The first two were kind of expected, but the last was an awful tragedy very early in the morning. He responded so quickly and helped us with a situation that I don't know how we would have handled without him. I recommend that everyone consider them for their services. They have made the most difficult times somehow bearable. The professionalism and compassion is above and beyond what I ever imagined. read more

My little baby Prada crossed the rainbow bridge on April 30th. We wanted to bury her in a gentler and more peaceful way than regular cremation. We found Pet Cremation by Water through Veterinary Specialty Center, and we decided to go with them. It was the best way to put her soul to rest. We opted to do the full memorial, as she needed to be sent out like the queen she was! Philip and his team were incredibly sweet during this painful experience. Of course, you never wish to go through this process again, but I'll be recommending him to fellow pet parents when their babies cross to the other side. Thank you very much for making Prada's final journey one of peace and love. read more

My angel baby Max passed away on 12/23, right before the holidays, and I wasn't sure where to take him - this wasn't something I ever thought about before and didn't think I'd need to look into any time soon. Found this business on Yelp on a whim. In my time of need, this business made the entire process so smooth. Philip really knows how to make someone feel so at peace during such a difficult time. He not only made this process easy, but explained every single step of the water cremation process, which solidified my decision even more. I will only recommend this business to family, friends and strangers! Thank you for everything, Philip - you're the best! read more

Our Dog passed away at 1 am, called The Pet Cremation by Water recommended by a friend at 2 am and Dr. Philip responded right away. It's not easy saying goodbye.

After a trip for Thanksgiving I came back to my 11 year old dog not herself. 3 days later she stopped eating. I called and spoke to Phillip on the phone when my daughter saw Cremation By Water. Philip gave me an explanation but also has great videos on line to watch. He offered to pick up Daisy after she passed away. He was very responsive, and when he says 24 hr he's not kidding. My incident happened on a Sunday and he was still in communication with me at 8pm. After Daisy was ready my daughter and I went and saw his facility. Top notch and sign me up! (he does humans too). Such a gentle process and Philip is a top notch business owner! If your debating I say -stop - make the call.. use this business- 100% worth it. read more

When we had to make the difficult decision to euthanize our sweet cat, we thought that fire cremation was the only option. Luckily, the at-home vet we used recommended Pet Cremation by Water. We were so glad there was a gentler, more eco-friendly choice. We dealt directly with the owner Philip and he was so helpful, kind, and supportive through the process. We received our cat's ashes in a simple and modern bamboo urn. We also plan to memorialize some of his ashes in a piece of glass art that Philip told us about. We would definitely use Pet Cremation by Water again and highly recommend this business to our family and friends. A sincere thank you to Philip and his team for offering this service that's better for the environment and also for helping us through an incredibly difficult time. read more

It is painful to lose a tiny, cute and loveable furry family member. I found Pet Cremations online and spoke to Philip. He spoke to me about the process and knew it was the right place to bring our beloved cat, Lexi. They were so kind and caring. Philip went through the process of the cremation on the phone as well as in person. I knew I made the right decision. When I came back to pick up Lexi's ashes, I received them in a bamboo tube and also received Lexi's paw print. What a heartfelt and beautiful tribute to our dear Lexi. Thank you Philip and Pet Cremation by Water for making this experience more comfortable for us. We were in great hands. read more

Words cannot explain our experience with Philip. Our sweet girl passed at home after suffering from a cluster of seizures. We had scheduled her euthanasia appt for the next day after she passed but she couldn't make it to that appt. But to be honest, it was meant to be. Because she passed at home, she got to experience cremation by water instead of cremation by fire. Admittedly I had no idea this was a thing until I called around to find someone who could pickup our sweet girl after business hours. Philip picked up the phone and immediately had a plan for us to follow. He explained what he does and the benefits to it. He was in our home within the hour (Arlington Heights to the city). He didn't seem at all bothered that he had to make the trip. He came prepared and professional. He handled our girl with such care and let me help him escort her out (his pallbearer). I had no idea that when I googled searched a 24hr pet cremation service that may be available to pick up our girl after hours... that we would have stumbled across Philip. And I'm so grateful we did. We were able to pick up our girl in her bamboo urn and her claw paw print later that week. Somehow Philip managed to get her crooked nail in the paw print... and that solidified our decision to go with Philip. The small details that matter the most. read more

We lost our 14 year old cocker spaniel due to a stroke and wanted only the best for him. It broke my heart thinking about the burn cremation so after doing a little searching came across CBW. Filled out the form on their website for more information and within 10mins got a call on all the information I needed. Both Colleen and Philip were so helpful and understanding of the hardship we were going through and made the process so easy and peaceful.

We did a private process with a viewing and it was the best way to say our final good byes and know he was in good hands.
