Not only was their service outstanding, but their price was also far more reasonable than the additional $350 quote I received from the animal hospital I was at--plus I would have had to drive 45 minutes one way to pick my cats ashes up. Paws Remembered made the process easier, more affordable, and treated my pet with genuine respect. I'm truly grateful for the care they provided. Highly recommended.

I have always come to this particular facility in Kernerville called Agape (which is part of…read moreCentral Carolina Cremation Services) whenever I have had one of my pets pass away. It's a sad occasion when you have to say a final goodbye to a furry loved one and the staff here are very kind and understanding. This cremation facility takes in all small animals including pet snakes. They have a central facility in Charlotte where they can take in large animals such as horses. You can request a viewing where they bring out your pet on a presentation table for your final goodbyes before the cremation. I elected to watch the cremation itself along w the viewing. The ovens are huge and it takes some time beforehand to get them started and producing the correct temperature. They have an automatic procedure that once the animal is placed on the moving platform it opens the oven doors and the animal goes in and doors close behind. But you don't have to watch that, you can stay in the office until the process is complete. In the meantime you can pick out an urn or keepsake box out of the many choices. Once you choose, you decide what the epitaph will be and while you wait they are able to engrave or otherwise personalize your choice. I chose a stone jar. This facility is a one stop facility from guiding you through the process, picking an urn or wooden box, to cremation and presenting your loved one in a beautiful urn or whatever container you choose, with engraving at the end of the process so you are able to take home your pets remains the same day. You can expect to spend 1-2 hrs when it is all said and done. It's a loving send off for a special friend.

Heartbreakingly, my bulldog Betty passed away last Thursday. I knew I wanted her cremated and the…read morevet suggested CCPS and told us they would handle everything. While I hate that I am writing this review I am very pleased with them. They had Betty back to me in a few days. I went with the basic plan and the box is absolutely beautiful. They have her name, birthday and day she died underneath and it came with a very pretty plaque with her name that I can place on the box if I wish. They really did handle everything and I am so grateful for that. My only complaint was that they had her for four days before they cremated her and it was written down on a card they gave us. I would rather not know and it seems like a long time to wait when on the phone the lady said they would be doing it shortly after I paid.

Carolina Veterinary Specialists Winston-Salem…read more We brought our cat, Homey, who had a life-threatening urinary tract infection, and a blocked bladder to them after Banfield referred us to them. With no waiting, they immediately took him in for a thorough examination and within minutes, the doctor explained in great detail what he was up against, and what they could do for treatment. We agreed on the treatment and the costs, which was reasonable considering the seriousness, and they took him in for treatment to begin. They kept us updated by calling us directly of his prognosis several times each day, which was great. After his surgery, they called to let us know that it was successful and he is in recovery. They also kept us updated on his recovery progress. Later, the next evening, they called to let us know that he can come home that evening if we wanted, even though it was late at night, were still decided to come get him. When we got there, the doctor gave us clear, and very detailed instructions on his recovery care, the diet he would need to help prevent a reoccurrence, and the meds to give him, and how. She was great and answered all of our questions and gave wonderful advice. They saved his life! When we got him home, Homey was so happy and grateful, he knew that his life was saved, and happy to be home with us. The staff, all of them, at Carolina Veterinary Specialists are truly the best! It's obvious that they really care and love what they do. We are so grateful to CVS for saving our cat's life and we will recommend them to all of our friends who have pets. Thank you so much!

When this happens at home it's so sad, hard to think, your emotional and sad it's hard to make arrangements on weekends. We had to come share our experience with cremation it was beyond professional, compassionate, they treated us and our beautiful baby like we were the most important people in the world. We found Pet Pilgrimage located in Mooresville. It is located behind Cavin-Cook Funeral home building they have Pet Pilgrimage onsite. They are located in the far rear left of the parking lot behind the funeral home. This was by far one of the best decisions we've ever made. We did not want to use a commercial "pet crematory". We wanted a use a locally owned, compassionate company and wanted to support local business. Cavin-Cook.com was incredible. The prices that are posted are exactly what you will pay. Unless you add on other items. They are no pressure upsellers!!!!! We officially love these people, we were so grateful for them being open on a Sunday. Our baby is now back home in less than 24 hours after she was taken out of our arms. 5 all the way Top notch compassion and very comforting! Beautiful private rooms to stay with your baby as long as you need. They do not rush you at all. They are very patient, informative, and caring. We asked for a heart to be cut from her blanket they did it without a problem. Her remains and presentation returned to us was the most beautiful thing I've seen. https://petpilgrimage.com/ We chose the Remembrance Cremation Collection $240 PRIVATE CREMATION INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: *A wood or biodegradable urn *24 Hour personal assistance *A comforting environment for final goodbyes and memorial services *Imprint of your pet's paw set in ceramic clay *Keepsake fur clipping *Remembrance wildflower seeds *Rainbow Bridge bookmark *Digital images of your pet's nose and paw print archived at Pet Pilgrimage for memorial keepsake items *Online pet memorial *Cremation certificate *Your pet is returned to you within 48 hours Whatever you do don't use GPS for pet pilgrimage use GPS address for Cavin-Cook Funeral home.

Losing our Buddy was losing a family member. I wanted to give Buddy the send off he deserved…read more There are not a whole lot of options in the metro Charlotte area. But I was able to find Pet Pilgrimage. From the moment I called to speak with Becky my heart was a bit lighter that he was going to be taken care of the way would have. Our Buddy declined quickly and we had to make the difficult decision to have put to sleep on the Friday after Thanksgiving, 2022. Our appointment at the vet was not until 4:30pm but the folks at Pet Pilgrimage were so accommodating. Our vet had put Buddy in a box for us which we hand delivered to Pet Pilgrimage. I wanted to make sure Buddy was wrapped in his favorite blanket he had since he was a puppy, his favorite toy nestled in his arms and pictures of our family with him. When we dropped him off Lisa told us to take our time saying good bye. We spent some final moments with our little guy. I was able to cover him up, give him his Lamby, and kiss his sweet face. Lisa set our expectations to say I would receive a call first thing Monday morning to pick him up. With it being holiday I completely understood that it would take longer than the estimated 48 hours. Due to my own impatience of wanting Buddy home I called around 9:45am on Monday. Becky said I was going to be her first call at 10 - because she wanted me to have time to wake up before getting the news Buddy was ready and not open up a raw nerve. Thoughtful beyond words! I loved how she referred to him as my baby - because he is my baby... When we picked him up we were given a beautiful bag - and the living tree urn with Buddy's remains. The paw prints were perfect. What I realize now and I didn't at the time - was how anxious I was to get Buddy home. The folks at Pet Pilgrimage understood that for me. This was well worth the money we spent - it was the perfect was to honor Buddy and we are so blessed to found these folks - they truly are doing a wonderful act for people. Thank you all!

Jason called and texted me within one hour after notification of Roscoe's unexpected passing. Jason was so patient with me as I completed Roscoe's online obituary and assisted me in posting all of his beautiful pictures and videos. His prompt response to all of my daily concerns, empathy, compassion, and selfless service made my journey tolerable despite my overwhelming sadness and grief. Megan also ensured that the engraving on my baby's urn would be perfect to my specifications and she did her absolute best to make sure it was ready on time. I picked up my precious baby on 18 June 2025 and proceeded to prepare his resting place at home. I literally cried buckets of tears as I carefully unwrapped his beautiful urn, his paw print in a leather binder inscribed with his name, his curly locks of hair, and other delicate memorabilia. I cannot write or say enough words to ALL for going ABOVE AND BEYOND to memorialize my adorable and loved companion and family member. I highly recommend their services to anyone needing to say goodbye to their cherished companion.

I called them and a very sympathetic gentleman named, Jason explained the entire process and my every option. He gave me a price over the phone. He explained to me that their service includes pickup of the pet anywhere in Stanly. Since I am located in Cabarrus he allowed me to bring the dog to him. He was punctual. He was caring and kind. Everything happened exactly as said they would. The cremated remains were returned in a wooden urn with the name engraved on the top. He also made plaster footprints as a keepsake. Along with the urn we received a certificate of cremation. If you ever have the need to have a pet cremated I highly recommend Uwharrie Pet Cremation services.
