Transformed my frustration into peace.When I arrived, my Apollo had recently been euthanized at a clinic with not very compassionate people.I love the smell of this little place. It was very sweet how much they care and get you through the process so everything seems very easy during this phase of grief. They gave me time to say my goodbyes and I can tell they really care a lot and took very good care of my Apollo.They were even so kind enough to call me and brought him out to me to my car. The moment being reunited with him made my heart feel so full again, and I felt so at peace. Every time I hold him, I can feel my heart glowing again. Thank you so much for giving us so much peace and joy.They also gave me a piece of his fur , a wonderful surpriseI’m so glad i decided to land upon these angels and so grateful for the service they provide. I can now bring my Apollo back home with me.🤍

Hello, My name is Jessica. I lost my best friend of over 15 years in a horrible accident. He was staying with my friend when he passed, as he was supposed to come back home to me in a week. I wasn’t with him in his final moments like I always thought I would. When I got the news, it felt like my heart was ripped out, like my world just exploded all at once. The next day, I called so many places to help me cremate my dog, and what they was asking for, I simply did not have until I got paid. I was about to lose faith on giving my dog a proper goodbye. I tried one last place, which was Compassionate care pet cremation. The way he had so much sympathy for me, simply over the phone …made me know I called the right place. He told me to come in with whatever I was able to give him and wait until I got paid to cover the rest when I picked him up. NO OTHER PLACE DID THIS FOR ME. I got told “ I’m sorry about your loss” after being denied help from the other places I called. This place was MORE worried about my dog & what I was going through, MORE than the money I had in my pockets !!! I will forever be grateful and I will never go anywhere else but here !!!! They have so many selections on what you want the ashes in, it was actually hard for me to decide. They were so welcoming and was ready to be supportive as soon as I walked in with my fur baby in my arms. I thought I would cry as I handed over my baby but I didn’t because I knew he was in safe hands ! I 10000% recommend this amazing place if you have lost a pet that you love dearly.

Love the print; and hair!They gave me time to say my goodbyes and I can tell they really care a lot and took very good care of my Koa! They were even so kind enough to call me and brought her out to me to my home. The moment being reunited with her made my heart feel so full again!

they were so kind to my kitty, valentine. the place was roomy and even felt like a home. they took care of my baby, and i’m happy she’s back home. if i could, i’d rate them a 10 stars out of 10. i was surprised that they gave us extra of her fur and even a set of wildflower seeds for her. the little bed they rolled out for her was absolutely heartbreaking in the best way possible. her favorite activity was sleeping, so it was perfect for her.they’re relatively inexpensive, good for if you’re on a budget or on a part time salary. the urns are quite expensive, but the clay paw print was definitely worth it. thank you guys for taking care of valentine in her final hour <3

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! I lost my baby on 8-11-24 and I wanted a way to keep him by my side. I did not even know pet cremation was possible until I found compassionate care pet cremation. They are super affordable but mostly they are SO nice! Very compassionate (like the name says) when you lose your fur baby. They made the process extremely easy for me and the cremation was done in 24 hours. I have been a complete wreck since my cat died and somehow they made the process so light-hearted and easy that I didn’t even cry. (Got close when I pick his remains up though). I was not expecting them to give me some of his fur also. That was very sweet. Thank you SO much for taking good care of my baby and allowing me to be able to keep him by my side forever. I will be recommending this place to anyone I know that loses a pet. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you.
kaila alexys
The most genuine business I’ve ever come across. This process was extremely hard for me to go through with and the compassion of this business made me feel so safe and cared for during this hard time. They were so understanding of my situation, complimented my sweet angel, and were very personable. You can tell to them this isn’t just a business, they care for your pet and empathize with you. Extremely reasonably priced, I got quotes for a couple other places and nowhere else compared to this place and even if they had I would’ve wanted my money to go to these good, honest, and hardworking people. Thank you so much for your services, I couldn’t have asked for a more respectful and caring environment than the one created at this establishment.
Ang B
Stephen was so kind and caring. We knew our Buddy Boy didn't have very long. In preparation, I called several pet cremation places. But after speaking to Stephen, I immediately knew Compassionate Care was my choice. We were able to coordinate him driving down to our St Augustine home right after The Hospice Vet (Dr Sarah- amazing) visited today. He was so gentle and kind and professional when he arrived to pick up our beloved Buddy. I am eternal grateful to both Compassionate Care and The Hospice Vet for their help today. They did everything they could to make a difficult day a little easier. Thank you for your compassion, Stephen. As you drove away, I knew our boy was in good hands.
Jordan Silvey
Our dog passed away late Saturday evening and we couldn’t bare the thought of having to place him in the fridge for the night. We’re very thankful we found this 24 hour pet crematory. They were very kind, fast and efficient. The little orange chunky cat they have was also gave us a warm welcoming. The cat was very sweet and approached us right away and let us love on him. The place smelled really good and felt warm and inviting. Although we didn’t ask for it, we were pleasantly surprised to see a hair clipping of our dogs fur when we arrived the next to day to pick him up.I definitely recommend coming here in the event that your fur baby passes. It’s not a happy time but it’s nice to know that you can count on good people to take care of you and your beloved pet.
Jean & Naghyl Tejedor
Stephen was incredibly kind, just in conversation, just with answering questions. He treated my baby with the utmost compassion and dignity. It is so hard to part with your loved fur babies, but knowing that the person handling her body is someone who respects how you feel, can provide significant stress relief.I called around about 4 weeks before we had to put her down. At that time, we were just watching every day for changes in her. Stephen quoted me fair costs, comparable to other pricing I obtained. He even offered to pick her up if she passed on her own at home. No matter the hour, he said he would answer the phone and drive out. I found that offer very comforting.In the middle of the night, we realized it was time because she was truly suffering. I called him the next morning and he said he would be ready, and just asked that I call on the way. I got my baby back in 24 hours.I would absolutely recommend this business if you have need of their services. Being delicate and respectful during this grieving process and exhibiting that bit of compassion really makes a difference.
Kathy Seabolt
They were a godsend to me. I was able to call prior to Homer passing away and make arrangements. They were available when he died at 1 am and I was able to bring him straight from the Emergency Vet office. They were so very compassionate and supportive and very understanding. They took the time to listen to me talk about my cat. It meant the world and helped ease the sorrow I was experiencing. I would not trust my beloved pet with anyone else. I owe them a huge debt of gratitude.
Carole Parker
Where do I begin? I cannot tell you how wonderful Stephen and Russell were in making such a difficult time much more bareable. I knew the moment Stephen picked up the phone that this was the place I wanted to handle my sweet Dingo Joes cremation. I had to say goodbye to my sweet 16 year old Australian Shepherd unexpectedly. I called Stephen early on Saturday morning August 3rd and he immediately picked up the phone. After Dingo was euthanized Stephen and Russell came right over and picked up Dingo. They are kind, compassionate and I count them now as furever friends. They returned Dingo the following day, a Sunday, which was above and beyond. If I could give them 100 stars I would. I highly recommend them and sing their praises. They aresuch a blessing. Thank you is not enough but thank you from my whole heart. Carole & Jaymzee Ray
Alison Roush
I am incredibly grateful for the care which was taken with my gerbils after they passed away. The owner was kind and accommodating, and I was able to drop off my babies and pick them up the next day. It is evident that this establishment treats every pet with the same care that they would treat their own, and I would absolutely choose to trust them with my pets again.
Christy Young
We are beyond grateful to Mr. Stephen for the care and compassion given to our sweet Marbles. We love her little paw print and the beautiful keepsakes we received to honor her memory. Compassionate care is the place to go for your beloved furbabies!
Kaitlin Heckman
I am so thankful I found Compassionate Care. The way they treat you and your pet is exactly as their name says. The comfort I got made the process so much easier. When I went to go pick my Coco up, they cut and saved some of her fur which made me lose it. I never thought to do that, but it means the world to me to have a part of her that remains the same. I will never go anywhere else when I am in need of them again. Thank you Compassionate Care for everything you do! 🫶🏼
Bekah Busch
They were so loving when we lost our best friend, Chase. The care and compassion was such a comfort during our hearbreak. We also went with the glass jewelry with the ashes, and the necklace is gorgeous! Thank you guys so much for being a salve to our wounds!
Sarah Rossetter
Stephen is wonderful. The place looks amazing on the inside and clean and he even has rescue cats. Hes Very nice understanding and shows he actually cares. He worked with us on our payments. I will for sure be coming back to him if I ever need to. Thank you again Stephen for bringing Shelby home. I give you a 10 out of 10.
Sorrell Mercoglan
I can not express how wonderful my experience with Stephen’s business was! My 13 year old Rottweiler passed away at home on a Saturday morning somewhat quickly, and in my distressed and disoriented state, I was able to find Stephen’s business online. We called Stephen that same morning, and he drove to my house (at least a 45 minute drive) and was able to transport my sweet boy in such a dignified and respectful manner. I was so beyond grateful for that. Stephen had his ashes prepared the very next day, at an extremely reasonable price (no comparison to anything else I saw online!). I know that I was meant to find Stephen and this business to help my sweet boy cross the rainbow bridge; I can’t recommend this wonderful business enough - absolutely amazing!
LaviMew
Super kind staff/family owned business whom treated me and my parents so well when it came to get our cat Domino cremated. We got the most beautiful send off we’ve ever seen, and even got to watch the owner perform our Domino’s paw print! Urn along with print, fur and death certificate was available to be picked up the next day- quite a simple and easy process that left us all feeling relieved and happy we brought our beloved cat here.❤️

My mom’s beloved dog Bubba passed away unexpectedly a few weeks ago. It’s taken me a while to write this as we are both still in the midst of grieving such a core part of our family — but I cannot say enough good and gracious words about Stephen and Russell at Compassionate Care. Stephen and Russell made what could’ve been an extremely stressful and overwhelming process, easy and stress-free. They took care of everything and allowed us to just focus on grieving and healing.Bubba passed away on a Saturday. Our vet told us the company they use for cremations wouldn’t be available until Monday and we didn’t want Bubba to sit in a freezer for that long. My sister and I did some research for local pet crematories and found Compassionate Care. I called them fairly late at night and Stephen answered the phone on the first ring. He was friendly, compassionate and answered all of my questions. He was patient when I couldn’t find the right words or spontaneously started crying. Bubba was my mom’s first dog and losing him was/is extremely difficult for her. She had very specific requests and I wanted to find a place that could do exactly what she wanted to allow her to remember Bubba how she wanted. She wanted a plate with Bubba's paw prints to set his urn on top of. Stephen immediately said, “We can do that,” and assured me that they would do whatever my mom needed and they would treat Bubba with respect and care.The next day, we stopped by the offices to pick out an urn and discuss additional details. Russell was so extremely helpful and kind. We reiterated the special piece my mom wanted made and Russell said it was no problem, and was more than happy to send us pictures while he was making it to ensure it was exactly what my mom wanted. Like I mentioned, she wanted a very specific thing and Russell worked with extreme precision and care. The piece was exactly what my mom envisioned, and when we saw the final product in person, my mom teared up. Unbeknownst to Russell, he had painted Bubba’s paws the color of Bubba’s harness — a detail we never told him but he just seemed to intuitively know.While Bubba is no longer physically here with us, my mom has a beautiful piece to remember him by and, in some way, it makes healing just a bit easier.I cannot thank or recommend Stephen and Russell at Compassionate Care enough.

We have unfortunately lost our dog in a tragic event and the best we could do for him afterwards was find a crematory that reflected just how loved he was. I do not have anything but adoration for the people of Compassionate Care Pet Cremation, from the moment they came to pick up my pup and treated him with the utmost respect, as well as going the extra miles to bring him back to our doorstep. Losing my pup was the hardest thing we’ve experienced, but they’ve made such a beautiful urn just for him and words can never amount to how grateful I am for making this experience into something so wonderful.
Mariana Suzette

Delores Evans
This was a difficult time for me and my family. Losing our dog Rocky was unexpected. The kindness and compassion they gave us will never be forgotten. Thank you for your excellent service and most importantly getting him back to us the very next day. I was afraid they would not offer weekend service but they did. Thank you for making this process easier. God bless you.

If I could give 100 stars I would. Not only was the owner compassionate. He helped me with my baby boy this morning after his passing. Thank you guys for being awesome in what you do for us during these tough times.

I can't say enough good things about this company. Mr. Steven is heaven sent and definitely put on this earth to do this. He treated us with utmost respect and the compassion and care he used in walking me through the process was more than I ever expected or experienced. He went above and beyond in treating our sweet girl like she was his own and expressed his condolences like he was hurting right along with us. He made the whole process easy and I definitely felt confident and at peace in leaving my sweet girl in his care. He brought her home to us and talked with for a while like we were old friends. Thank you for going above and beyond and taking care of our sweet girl like you did. I will definitely recommended to everyone.

I have been bringing my sweet old rats here since 2022 and I plan on continuing to do so in the future. Everyone who works here is so caring, understanding and compassionate. They’ve continued to improve their services overtime and have always taken special care of my ladies. My rat Sage recently passed three days ago and is the rat pictured in this photo. Thank you again for offering an excellent last goodbye.
Charla Edwards
I have no idea where to start… Stephen was the absolute best. My sweet Angel passed away unexpectedly, but he was able to take us the day it happened and was even able to hold a small service for her for us to say our goodbyes. He was very straightforward on pricing and made me feel like my sweet girl was loved and just as important as us humans. I highly recommend this place, and wish I could give more than 5 stars.
Lindsay Johnson
I can't say enough good things about this place! My boyfriends young dog unexpectedly passed away and the family didn't know what to do. I sent him a list fro Google and since this place was closest to me and open, he called. They made the whole process easier for him. This is the first pet he's ever lost so he's been really upset. They got a paw print from her and even gave him a little bit of her fur when we went to pick her up. The facility was so welcoming and the rainbow bridge with all the pet collars had me about to cry. I've lost many pets throughout the years but I can say I will be taking my pets here when that time comes in the future.We even had a rainbow on the way home!
Kathy Minton
Compassipnate Pet Care took care of cremating my 11 year old cat, Doc. He developed an inoperable tumor and we had to say, "Goodbye," to my little buddy. Their fees were more budget friendly and they were very kind and accomodating to us. We appreciated that!
Jolene Bee
Showed my family so much love in a very sad time. We are so very grateful you helped us. He was a very large presence in our lives. We had never been through this before. Steven walked us through the process and promptly fit our beautiful pup in for cremation. Making a very difficult ordeal, seamless. And thank you for the mementos as well. It meant so much to us all!!
Courtney Hitt
Our sweet little lady passed in her sleep and we were completely lost the next morning. I found compassionate care online and they were so kind on the phone and were able to get me in right away. They answered all of my questions and were patient with me while I broke down in their front room. Cremation was quick and they did a paw print for us to put next to her urn along with a poem and a heart shaped bundle of wildflower seeds to plant in her memory. Everyone that we worked with was so sweet and helpful. I would highly recommend this team to anyone suffering the loss of their beloved pet.

I've been meaning to write this for almost 6 months, and even though I'm still mourning deeply, Mr. Stephen deserves my review. In February, my BEAUTIFUL boy Major was killed by a "vet" at First Coast Emergency (I've been so heartbroken that I haven't written the review for them yet, but trust me...it's coming!!).We were not expecting to lose him that night, and when we found out the next morning that it didn't even have to happen, it added so much more pain to what we were already going through!! It was EVIL and CRUEL!!They gave us the name of the crematorium they use, and that company was terrible! The lady on the phone was crass and short, she seemed annoyed and really couldn't care less about me nor Major. All she wanted was my credit card info so they could go pick him up and get this over with.So I looked online to see if there were any other options, and that's how I found Compassionate Care.I was a wreck by the time I contacted Mr. Stephen. I'm going to tell you that this man is a SAINT!!!! He was wonderful. He said he would take care of everything and call me when I could pick up Majors remains. He didn't want money up front, or deposits, or lengthy background information. He knew we were suffering and just like the name of his business...he was incredibly compassionate!!First Coast ER, after killing our baby boy and watching us hysterically cry, told us we had 48 hours to have Major picked up or he would be disposed of!!!!!!!!! We were nearing that timeline when I had found Mr. Stephen. He stopped whatever he was doing, and went to get my baby.I am so eternally grateful for him! He took a lot of sting out of a very painful experience and process and he will FOREVER be in my heart for what he did for us.It's always hard when we lose our fur babies, and most of us love them like they're our children! I've had to say goodbye when they've reached the end, but never traumatically and as quickly as what happened that night. It was horrendous, and I'm still dealing with the pain and aftermath of what that "man" did to us. I would be in FAR worse shape if it hadn't been for Compassionate Care! Having Mr. Stephen in our corner and taking the reins is something I will never forget.This is who you need when it's time to say goodbye. I honestly can't thank him enough for taking such incredible care of us!
kathy carroll
My fur baby of over 14 years passed away I called early in the morning and asked if I could bring him over they said sure and I was able to pick him back up that afternoon staff was amazing and comforting. The compassion they showed to me and my baby will always be remembered. I highly recommend themthank you Kathy from Callahan

I cannot thank Stephen enough for his services! There aren't enough words to describe how kind, gentle, and caring the owner is. My cat unfortunately passed away on New Year's Eve. I was able to call and drive up to have my sweet Peanut Butter taken care of. I was so worried I wasn't going to find a place to help me with the holiday and it being a Sunday. Response time was very fast when I messaged via Google.The place is comforting and feels like a home setting. We got to have a small farewell with our kitty. It was so peaceful and touching to have just a few last minutes with our cat.The urn selection is big and we also got a paw print set in clay. Everything was done so beautifully.I highly recommend coming here for your pets end of life services.

I think It goes without saying that when looking up or calling a place to inquire about cremating a pet, it’s not a happy time. Not much can make these moments any less difficult or heartbreaking but what can help ease the heartbreak even just a little is knowing that the place you do call, genuinely cares. Losing my cat a little over a year after my dog made this loss exceptionally difficult. I’m So grateful that in the darkness of this time we found CCPC. From first phone call Stephen was gentle and understanding. My wife and I both have used a different company in the past and truth be told reached out there first, however they were closed.Enter a google search that has completely changed the way we will deal with the loss of our furbabies for forever.Since this was our first time stepping into a new company with this situation we had a lot of questions. At no point did my wife or I feel that we spoke too long or asked too much. Stephan gave complete space for our emotions at every step. There could have been 1 or 100 people in that office and he was 100% with us and I have no doubt that each person he works with gets the same level attention, patience and compassion from him.The name could not be more fitting.They even went so far as honoring a special request I had which is probably a rare one and came to pick up my baby since at the time my vehicle was inaccessible.If you’ve ever lost a pet, you know the only thing that can help is knowing anyone you deal with truly understands the level of hurt you’re feeling and CC truly does that perfectly..Thank you Mr. Stephen, you are an angel on earth.

This place is so awesome. Stephen, the owner, was so kind during my time of grieving. I brought my cat, Nicholas here to get cremated. He even held a little funeral for me and my mom. He gave us as much time as we needed with him to say goodbye. He answered all of our questions, in regards to his cremation and my requests of keeping some of his whiskers as well as, an ink paw print and a clay impression too. Truthfully, a very compassionate place to go to have your furbaby cremated. I have included two pictures, one of the funeral and another of what I chose to have him put in and my two requests. The black box was not included, I just happened to have that laying around.
Rebekah Fleming
They were amazing for us during a really terrible time. We were able to call then late and bring our Frodo in so we didn't have to wait overnight. We got a beautiful wooden box for him and they made us an imprint of his paw and kept some of his fur for us. We are so grateful
Ash Stixx
This place is a 10/10 when it comes to the care and service they provide. We felt so comfortable and it was such a peaceful experience when dealing with the loss of a pet. They took such great care of our pet and we can’t thank them enough
Kiara Vasquez
Both the father and son operating this business are the sweetest and kindest people. They will take care of your pets with respect and I highly recommend bringing your pets here. I brought my hamster Oreo here and I am thankful for them!
Marie Edwards
We recently brought our beloved bearded dragon, maze, to compassionate care pet cremation. If there were more than 5 stars I would give it. It was a beautiful experience. We were given so much respect and care during this tough time and I couldn’t be more thankful to have their services. Would recommend to anyone who has lost a loved pet. Also the whole business has a special energy to it and was decorated beautifully. Very warm, welcoming and comfortable.
Denita Yates
Their name says it all! Compassionate Care! As my heart was broken when my mother's side kick 16.5 year old Toad Frog (a King Charles Cavalier) crossed the rainbow bridge to join her, Steve and his family were amazing. They help the hurt. They are professional, personable and yes Compassionate.
Jacqueline Huderson
I've used this business twice now - once to cremate a pet and once to move cremains from an old urn to a new one.Both times the employees were empathetic and kind. Their time quotes were very accurate and EXTREMELY fast. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. The owner went above and beyond what I asked for, making sure to get both white and black fur from my tuxedo cat.I've used the companies associated with a vet office before and have been frustrated with long turnaround, missing items, and prices. I didn't know there was another option, but I will never use one of those companies again.
Kathy Seabolt
They were a godsend to me. I was able to call prior to Homer passing away and make arrangements. They were available when he died at 1 am and I was able to bring him straight from the Emergency Vet office. They were so very compassionate and supportive and very understanding. They took the time to listen to me talk about my cat. It meant the world and helped ease the sorrow I was experiencing. I would not trust my beloved pet with anyone else. I owe them a huge debt of gratitude.
Carole Parker
Where do I begin? I cannot tell you how wonderful Stephen and Russell were in making such a difficult time much more bareable. I knew the moment Stephen picked up the phone that this was the place I wanted to handle my sweet Dingo Joes cremation. I had to say goodbye to my sweet 16 year old Australian Shepherd unexpectedly. I called Stephen early on Saturday morning August 3rd and he immediately picked up the phone. After Dingo was euthanized Stephen and Russell came right over and picked up Dingo. They are kind, compassionate and I count them now as furever friends. They returned Dingo the following day, a Sunday, which was above and beyond. If I could give them 100 stars I would. I highly recommend them and sing their praises. They aresuch a blessing. Thank you is not enough but thank you from my whole heart. Carole & Jaymzee Ray
Alison Roush
I am incredibly grateful for the care which was taken with my gerbils after they passed away. The owner was kind and accommodating, and I was able to drop off my babies and pick them up the next day. It is evident that this establishment treats every pet with the same care that they would treat their own, and I would absolutely choose to trust them with my pets again.
Katie Zack
I've been meaning to write this for almost 6 months, and even though I'm still mourning deeply, Mr. Stephen deserves my review. In February, my BEAUTIFUL boy Major was killed by a "vet" at First Coast Emergency (I've been so heartbroken that I haven't written the review for them yet, but trust me...it's coming!!).We were not expecting to lose him that night, and when we found out the next morning that it didn't even have to happen, it added so much more pain to what we were already going through!! It was EVIL and CRUEL!!They gave us the name of the crematorium they use, and that company was terrible! The lady on the phone was crass and short, she seemed annoyed and really couldn't care less about me nor Major. All she wanted was my credit card info so they could go pick him up and get this over with.So I looked online to see if there were any other options, and that's how I found Compassionate Care.I was a wreck by the time I contacted Mr. Stephen. I'm going to tell you that this man is a SAINT!!!! He was wonderful. He said he would take care of everything and call me when I could pick up Majors remains. He didn't want money up front, or deposits, or lengthy background information. He knew we were suffering and just like the name of his business...he was incredibly compassionate!!First Coast ER, after killing our baby boy and watching us hysterically cry, told us we had 48 hours to have Major picked up or he would be disposed of!!!!!!!!! We were nearing that timeline when I had found Mr. Stephen. He stopped whatever he was doing, and went to get my baby.I am so eternally grateful for him! He took a lot of sting out of a very painful experience and process and he will FOREVER be in my heart for what he did for us.It's always hard when we lose our fur babies, and most of us love them like they're our children! I've had to say goodbye when they've reached the end, but never traumatically and as quickly as what happened that night. It was horrendous, and I'm still dealing with the pain and aftermath of what that "man" did to us. I would be in FAR worse shape if it hadn't been for Compassionate Care! Having Mr. Stephen in our corner and taking the reins is something I will never forget.This is who you need when it's time to say goodbye. I honestly can't thank him enough for taking such incredible care of us!
Christy Young
We are beyond grateful to Mr. Stephen for the care and compassion given to our sweet Marbles. We love her little paw print and the beautiful keepsakes we received to honor her memory. Compassionate care is the place to go for your beloved furbabies!
Kaitlin Heckman
I am so thankful I found Compassionate Care. The way they treat you and your pet is exactly as their name says. The comfort I got made the process so much easier. When I went to go pick my Coco up, they cut and saved some of her fur which made me lose it. I never thought to do that, but it means the world to me to have a part of her that remains the same. I will never go anywhere else when I am in need of them again. Thank you Compassionate Care for everything you do! 🫶🏼
Bekah Busch
They were so loving when we lost our best friend, Chase. The care and compassion was such a comfort during our hearbreak. We also went with the glass jewelry with the ashes, and the necklace is gorgeous! Thank you guys so much for being a salve to our wounds!
Sarah Rossetter
Stephen is wonderful. The place looks amazing on the inside and clean and he even has rescue cats. Hes Very nice understanding and shows he actually cares. He worked with us on our payments. I will for sure be coming back to him if I ever need to. Thank you again Stephen for bringing Shelby home. I give you a 10 out of 10.
Sorrell Mercoglan
I can not express how wonderful my experience with Stephen’s business was! My 13 year old Rottweiler passed away at home on a Saturday morning somewhat quickly, and in my distressed and disoriented state, I was able to find Stephen’s business online. We called Stephen that same morning, and he drove to my house (at least a 45 minute drive) and was able to transport my sweet boy in such a dignified and respectful manner. I was so beyond grateful for that. Stephen had his ashes prepared the very next day, at an extremely reasonable price (no comparison to anything else I saw online!). I know that I was meant to find Stephen and this business to help my sweet boy cross the rainbow bridge; I can’t recommend this wonderful business enough - absolutely amazing!
LaviMew
Super kind staff/family owned business whom treated me and my parents so well when it came to get our cat Domino cremated. We got the most beautiful send off we’ve ever seen, and even got to watch the owner perform our Domino’s paw print! Urn along with print, fur and death certificate was available to be picked up the next day- quite a simple and easy process that left us all feeling relieved and happy we brought our beloved cat here.❤️
Tammy Buckner
I just had to share the wonderful, compassionate service that we received after our dog Corey passed away suddenly. They answered quickly and were beyond kind. This happened in the evening and they came out right away. We were so heartbroken and didn't want to wake up to her lying there in the morning, especially the kids. She was returned the next day. A great display of professional and heartfelt work. I can't thank them enough. If you need someone please know they are highly recommended!!
Zeke Rascoe
I had a great experience with Steven and his kids, Kadie and Rusty. They were very helpful with the process, keeping me informed, showing genuine care for the service they are providing and the loss we went through. Even with my jumpy schedule I received great help and never felt unsure of where Bartholomew (Bearded Dragon) was. I highly recommend if you consider this option through your loss.
Jessica Cromer
They were so kind and caring with my furbaby. I felt so comfortable leaving my beloved dog in their care. Their services were reasonably priced and they took excellent care of my family and I. Thank you!
Sherry Click
I lost my little girl, MaeMae suddenly. She had a heart attack. I was with her when she passed. It was very sad and I still miss her so much. I called Compassionate Care and they scheduled a time for me to bring her in. Stephen and Jessica were so understanding and caring about my loss. It was a very difficult time for me and they made the heartache easier. The nice part was that I was able to pick up my baby’s remains just two days later and bring her home. I am grateful to have found them in my time of need. I recommend them highly to those who are looking for this service.
James O'Reilly
Very recently had my bearded dragon Medusa cross the rainbow bridge and wanted to get her cremated and back home with us as soon a possible. Steven did wonderful with her everything came out better than I could have ever asked for. His facility has a home feel and very professional and detailed with everything, which made us feel more comfortable with the process. Thank you for your beautiful work done. RIP my Medusa you will be missed.❤️
ARIANNA COOPER
They were extremely polite and helpful to me and my late furbaby. Even with their own busy schedules they had no problem fitting us in and assisting us. I highly recommend these guys to anyone needing the same service for your pets.
Rosalyn Johnson
CCPC did a wonderful job with everything when it came to the cremation and assistance with helping me navigate through the cremation process of my precious and sweet little Teacup Chihuahua, Bella. They did an excellent job from start to finish in terms of helping me create a memory box for my little girl as well as a beautiful pink urn, since I always dressed her in pink.I would highly recommend them to anyone living in the Jacksonville and St. Augustine area! I wouldn't have been able to make it through this difficult grieving process without Steve and his caring assistance and prompt follow-up.
Maria Serrano
My dog Colita passed away yesterday and this was the perfect place to bring her. They are so compassionate and so kind. God bless you always and keep doing this beautiful work for all of us that love our pets as family!
Deanna Murray
This place is incredible. I appreciate that the owner was available the same day my dog passed away. The presentation to be able to say goodbye was so special. They have so many of the cremation items you see on the website available for you to pick from while you are there. The turnaround time was so quick, and the owner was kind enough to personally deliver me my sweet boy at my home. Would highly recommend this family owned place to anyone who has to say goodbye to their pets. Thank you for everything.
Megan Mangro
This establishment truly is a one of a kind place and the type of care this family puts into the store is amazing. I cannot thank Mr.Stephen enough for his compassion and patience throughout this journey with us. I feel relief knowing our baby boy was at least in good hands during this process. He took the time to listen to us reminiscing and even made sure that our sweet boys lucky whiskers came back home too. So thank you again for your wonderful services and for giving us the reassurance that our precious baby is back home with us ♥️
Charlene Cristobal
My mom’s beloved dog Bubba passed away unexpectedly a few weeks ago. It’s taken me a while to write this as we are both still in the midst of grieving such a core part of our family — but I cannot say enough good and gracious words about Stephen and Russell at Compassionate Care. Stephen and Russell made what could’ve been an extremely stressful and overwhelming process, easy and stress-free. They took care of everything and allowed us to just focus on grieving and healing.Bubba passed away on a Saturday. Our vet told us the company they use for cremations wouldn’t be available until Monday and we didn’t want Bubba to sit in a freezer for that long. My sister and I did some research for local pet crematories and found Compassionate Care. I called them fairly late at night and Stephen answered the phone on the first ring. He was friendly, compassionate and answered all of my questions. He was patient when I couldn’t find the right words or spontaneously started crying. Bubba was my mom’s first dog and losing him was/is extremely difficult for her. She had very specific requests and I wanted to find a place that could do exactly what she wanted to allow her to remember Bubba how she wanted. She wanted a plate with Bubba's paw prints to set his urn on top of. Stephen immediately said, “We can do that,” and assured me that they would do whatever my mom needed and they would treat Bubba with respect and care.The next day, we stopped by the offices to pick out an urn and discuss additional details. Russell was so extremely helpful and kind. We reiterated the special piece my mom wanted made and Russell said it was no problem, and was more than happy to send us pictures while he was making it to ensure it was exactly what my mom wanted. Like I mentioned, she wanted a very specific thing and Russell worked with extreme precision and care. The piece was exactly what my mom envisioned, and when we saw the final product in person, my mom teared up. Unbeknownst to Russell, he had painted Bubba’s paws the color of Bubba’s harness — a detail we never told him but he just seemed to intuitively know.While Bubba is no longer physically here with us, my mom has a beautiful piece to remember him by and, in some way, it makes healing just a bit easier.I cannot thank or recommend Stephen and Russell at Compassionate Care enough.

We have unfortunately lost our dog in a tragic event and the best we could do for him afterwards was find a crematory that reflected just how loved he was. I do not have anything but adoration for the people of Compassionate Care Pet Cremation, from the moment they came to pick up my pup and treated him with the utmost respect, as well as going the extra miles to bring him back to our doorstep. Losing my pup was the hardest thing we’ve experienced, but they’ve made such a beautiful urn just for him and words can never amount to how grateful I am for making this experience into something so wonderful.
Mariana Suzette
The Owner/employees Are beyond incredible!This is a beautiful place to Transform your grief into solace with the compassionate support of the owner and employees, who understand the depth of losing a pet. They will guide you in creating a heartwarming memorial, ensuring your furry friend remains forever in your heart. Thank you for taking such good care of Molly 💗 I highly recommend this place for anyone who lost a furry loved one🐾❤️
Delores Evans
This was a difficult time for me and my family. Losing our dog Rocky was unexpected. The kindness and compassion they gave us will never be forgotten. Thank you for your excellent service and most importantly getting him back to us the very next day. I was afraid they would not offer weekend service but they did. Thank you for making this process easier. God bless you.

If I could give 100 stars I would. Not only was the owner compassionate. He helped me with my baby boy this morning after his passing. Thank you guys for being awesome in what you do for us during these tough times.
B•C•A
I can't say enough good things about this company. Mr. Steven is heaven sent and definitely put on this earth to do this. He treated us with utmost respect and the compassion and care he used in walking me through the process was more than I ever expected or experienced. He went above and beyond in treating our sweet girl like she was his own and expressed his condolences like he was hurting right along with us. He made the whole process easy and I definitely felt confident and at peace in leaving my sweet girl in his care. He brought her home to us and talked with for a while like we were old friends. Thank you for going above and beyond and taking care of our sweet girl like you did. I will definitely recommended to everyone.
Jackie P
I have been bringing my sweet old rats here since 2022 and I plan on continuing to do so in the future. Everyone who works here is so caring, understanding and compassionate. They’ve continued to improve their services overtime and have always taken special care of my ladies. My rat Sage recently passed three days ago and is the rat pictured in this photo. Thank you again for offering an excellent last goodbye.
Charla Edwards
I have no idea where to start… Stephen was the absolute best. My sweet Angel passed away unexpectedly, but he was able to take us the day it happened and was even able to hold a small service for her for us to say our goodbyes. He was very straightforward on pricing and made me feel like my sweet girl was loved and just as important as us humans. I highly recommend this place, and wish I could give more than 5 stars.
Lindsay Johnson
I can't say enough good things about this place! My boyfriends young dog unexpectedly passed away and the family didn't know what to do. I sent him a list fro Google and since this place was closest to me and open, he called. They made the whole process easier for him. This is the first pet he's ever lost so he's been really upset. They got a paw print from her and even gave him a little bit of her fur when we went to pick her up. The facility was so welcoming and the rainbow bridge with all the pet collars had me about to cry. I've lost many pets throughout the years but I can say I will be taking my pets here when that time comes in the future.We even had a rainbow on the way home!
Kathy Minton
Compassipnate Pet Care took care of cremating my 11 year old cat, Doc. He developed an inoperable tumor and we had to say, "Goodbye," to my little buddy. Their fees were more budget friendly and they were very kind and accomodating to us. We appreciated that!
Cynthia Ratliff-Bufford
Our beloved family pet passed away yesterday afternoon from a seizure in his sleep. Our hearts were devastated. My daughter most especially took it hard, as she was "his person". With the added stress of storm prep for Idalia, you can imagine it's a difficult time for us. Without our asking or paying any additional fee they understood how hard this time was for her and rushed us through the process of cremating our Mocha. I can not tell you how grateful we are to have tokens of his life with us to reassure her during the storm. Thank you for taking good care of our Mocha and being sensitive to the needs of our family.
Jessica Braxton
I highly recommend. My son's beloved Ladybug transitioned and I wasn't sure of what to do. Stephen went above and beyond for our family. We can't thank you enough.
Jarek
I highly recommend their services. My daughter lost her hamster (1st pet) and we decided to get him cremated with Compassionate Care. Steve made my daughters final moments with her pet very special. He had the ashes back the very next day with a poem, and a flower patch to plant in the spring. She loves her paw prints!Thank you very much for attention to detail and taking care of our animal family!
Lucretia FREE
Our dog Shelli passed away a couple of weeks ago and we called Compassionate Care the day before to make the final arrangements. This was a very difficult phone call to make, but Jessica was very sweet and answered all of our questions. The next day we spoke with Mr. Steven and he told us his daughter would be available to assist us when we arrived. His daughter Kadie (I hope I'm spelling her name correctly) was extremely helpful and thoughtful when going over the formalities and choosing an urn. She was very empathetic to how we were feeling, and very easy to talk to. We picked up our fur baby's ashes and paw print a few days later, and Mr. Steven was there to greet us. They made the entire process stress free and really put us at ease. They show the upmost compassion and you feel that they genuinely care. We would definitely recommend them to others.
BellameiGG7
They were so friendly and compassionate. He even hand delivered my baby back to me. I am forever greatful for this experience. It's a hard time, and there is no right time to lose a pet, but it was made easier by this experience.
Heather Quinn
This week I unexpectedly lost My Beautiful boy Rebel on June 17, 2022 and Compassionate Care Pet Cremation was able to cremate Rebel for me and do payments because it was unexpected and they also get a final paw print and a ink print. They do it with so much care and love <3. Honestly I think they deserve more than 5 stars they are amazing.Thank You So Much!
Devon Russell
The staff was kind and very helpful through our difficult time. They took the time to give us extra hair clippings and paw prints for our guinea pig. I would absolutely recommend Compassionate Care for pet cremation. The staff even waited for us before closing up. 6 out of 5 stars!
Tony Inman
I cannot recommend this place enough. My mother ended up having to put her sweet little chihuahua, Nicky, down at the vet. I called Compassionate Care Pet Cremation and the owner answered the phone immediately and was willing to help in any way possible. He was able to offer me cremation services, along with different things he could do to help the memory of Nicky live on. He was able to help us with an amazing chihuahua themed box to put Nicky's ashes in, clay pawprints, inked paw prints, and a patch of her fur. The owner and his son made one of the most devastating times that someone has to go through a little bit easier. They showed so much compassion and empathy towards us and it really helped us get through this difficult time. I will always recommend this business as they really seem to care about making it as easy ad possible for you.
Brooke McCulloch
They are very kind. When my Kitty passed away in the middle of the night they were there for me. I was able to bring her in the morning. I could not have asked for more compassion and warmth. They understood what I was going thru and were very sweet.
Arlind M
Our family cat that we had for almost 16 years passed away just after midnight on Saturday. I had contacted compassionate care for details before the cat passed. Stephen and his son are very professional with everything, they don’t try to push you to buy things. I sent a text to stephen after our cat passed, thinking it would be way too late but he answered even at 3 am. We arranged the time to bring our cat in. They made the process very easy and took the stress away from my family and I. They provided updates before, during and after the cremation. I highly recommend their services if you ever lose a pet.
Jolene Bee
Showed my family so much love in a very sad time. We are so very grateful you helped us. He was a very large presence in our lives. We had never been through this before. Steven walked us through the process and promptly fit our beautiful pup in for cremation. Making a very difficult ordeal, seamless. And thank you for the mementos as well. It meant so much to us all!!
Courtney Hitt
Our sweet little lady passed in her sleep and we were completely lost the next morning. I found compassionate care online and they were so kind on the phone and were able to get me in right away. They answered all of my questions and were patient with me while I broke down in their front room. Cremation was quick and they did a paw print for us to put next to her urn along with a poem and a heart shaped bundle of wildflower seeds to plant in her memory. Everyone that we worked with was so sweet and helpful. I would highly recommend this team to anyone suffering the loss of their beloved pet.
kathy carroll
My fur baby of over 14 years passed away I called early in the morning and asked if I could bring him over they said sure and I was able to pick him back up that afternoon staff was amazing and comforting. The compassion they showed to me and my baby will always be remembered. I highly recommend themthank you Kathy from Callahan
Kristy
I cannot thank Stephen enough for his services! There aren't enough words to describe how kind, gentle, and caring the owner is. My cat unfortunately passed away on New Year's Eve. I was able to call and drive up to have my sweet Peanut Butter taken care of. I was so worried I wasn't going to find a place to help me with the holiday and it being a Sunday. Response time was very fast when I messaged via Google.The place is comforting and feels like a home setting. We got to have a small farewell with our kitty. It was so peaceful and touching to have just a few last minutes with our cat.The urn selection is big and we also got a paw print set in clay. Everything was done so beautifully.I highly recommend coming here for your pets end of life services.
Bek Dudek
I think It goes without saying that when looking up or calling a place to inquire about cremating a pet, it’s not a happy time. Not much can make these moments any less difficult or heartbreaking but what can help ease the heartbreak even just a little is knowing that the place you do call, genuinely cares. Losing my cat a little over a year after my dog made this loss exceptionally difficult. I’m So grateful that in the darkness of this time we found CCPC. From first phone call Stephen was gentle and understanding. My wife and I both have used a different company in the past and truth be told reached out there first, however they were closed.Enter a google search that has completely changed the way we will deal with the loss of our furbabies for forever.Since this was our first time stepping into a new company with this situation we had a lot of questions. At no point did my wife or I feel that we spoke too long or asked too much. Stephan gave complete space for our emotions at every step. There could have been 1 or 100 people in that office and he was 100% with us and I have no doubt that each person he works with gets the same level attention, patience and compassion from him.The name could not be more fitting.They even went so far as honoring a special request I had which is probably a rare one and came to pick up my baby since at the time my vehicle was inaccessible.If you’ve ever lost a pet, you know the only thing that can help is knowing anyone you deal with truly understands the level of hurt you’re feeling and CC truly does that perfectly..Thank you Mr. Stephen, you are an angel on earth.

This place is so awesome. Stephen, the owner, was so kind during my time of grieving. I brought my cat, Nicholas here to get cremated. He even held a little funeral for me and my mom. He gave us as much time as we needed with him to say goodbye. He answered all of our questions, in regards to his cremation and my requests of keeping some of his whiskers as well as, an ink paw print and a clay impression too. Truthfully, a very compassionate place to go to have your furbaby cremated. I have included two pictures, one of the funeral and another of what I chose to have him put in and my two requests. The black box was not included, I just happened to have that laying around.
Rebekah Fleming
They were amazing for us during a really terrible time. We were able to call then late and bring our Frodo in so we didn't have to wait overnight. We got a beautiful wooden box for him and they made us an imprint of his paw and kept some of his fur for us. We are so grateful
Ash Stixx
This place is a 10/10 when it comes to the care and service they provide. We felt so comfortable and it was such a peaceful experience when dealing with the loss of a pet. They took such great care of our pet and we can’t thank them enough
Maria Rueda
We took our little angel here, and it was wonderful. They treated her with love and kindness. As soon as we got there, they were waiting for us with a warm welcoming. I am happy we took her here to get her cremated. We got her ashes, hair, a paw print, and her paw on clay it was just beautiful. Thank you for making it special for all of us. I highly recommend this place.
Kiara Vasquez
Both the father and son operating this business are the sweetest and kindest people. They will take care of your pets with respect and I highly recommend bringing your pets here. I brought my hamster Oreo here and I am thankful for them!
Lasanda Breivogel
Steven was there for me in my time of need and treated my dog Coco with such compassion. He helped me to find a vet, Dr.Sophie who would come to my house to help Coco pass. This was a Saturdayand an emergency situation I had an appointment scheduled thru Lap of love for the following day. But my dog told me she was READY NOW. Lap of love said they would put her on a first com first serve basis but would have to muzzle her during the process. Or it would have to wait until Monday since i wanted her to be sedatedfirst. Absolutely NOT muzzling my dog when she is having trouble breathing and is dying, she wasnt leaving this world in such a disrespectful manner. I was desperately searching for someone else to come when Steven gave me Dr. SOPHIE's name who came as soon as she could and I could get back to being at my dogs side to comfort her and say our goodbyes. He has a stretcher like they use at funerals and a beautiful red velvet blanket he put over her. He treated her with such dignity and respect. It meant so much to me to have that last memory of her in that way. And he got her ashes back to me within 24 hours she was back home in her bed resting peacefully forever. Thank you so much Steven for your genuine empathy. Only special people can do what you do. My girl was treated like a queen all the way to the end and I wouldnt have it any other way

We were fortunate to find Compassionate Care Pet Cremation. The people here are caring & understanding. They made us aware of all options available to us, but made a point of letting us know that they wouldn't be pushing anything extra, & they were true to their word.They gave our sweet boy one last tasteful presentation & time to say our final goodbyes privately, which we truly appreciated. The pricing was affordable, & drop-off/pick-up was well coordinated. They only offer private, on-site cremations, which was comforting.Thank you so much for everything <3

On 7.31.2024 my 6 year old cat died suddenly and I was devastated. Googling pet cremation, I found Compassionate Care. Called right away and from that moment I felt so much relief. The man who answered the phone and met me at my car when I arrived was so warm, caring, and just knew what to say and do to make me feel like my cat was in good hands. He presented my cat in a wonderful way so I could say goodbye in private. When I went back for the ashes, the same warm, caring and compassionate interaction happened all over again. No one ever wants to lose a pet they love so much, but if it happens, this is the place to call. ❤️💔

Stephen is a very kind and caring person. He brought a gurney to the door like a professional. He was very understanding of our financial predicament. I would definietly recommend his service to anyone who needs a compassionate person to handle their furbaby's last needs.
Zoe Dotson
Stephen is one of the nicest people I’ve come across. Service was quick and he did an amazing job honoring my cat and her life. He gave me some time to grieve and I didn’t feel rushed to say goodbye at all.10/10A guy with heart ❤️
Holly Leung
Stephen was truly compassionate in helping me with my beloved cat after an extremely difficult decision. He made the process simple and seamless! The urn selection is beautiful and I will treasure her clay paw print forever. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!
Meagan Graham
What a great place for grieving families. Stephen was very compassionate towards our grieving process and is an angel sent from God above! He placed my Roxy on a bed with flowers and gave me the time to grieve with her. I could not be more greatful for such a great place for those in need.
Gabrielle Hambrick
My sweet cat I've had since I was 7 died Tuesday. I couldn't find anyone called Stephen and he cared and was respectful he came and got my sweet girl and took her off. He did everything I asked and made the best of the situation. Definitely recommended him for anything like this! I appreciate it all. You helped me in a time of hurt!
Kelly Whitney
Thank You Compassionate Pet for taking care of our bestest boy Salty and our precious Sandy girl. Sandy crossed the rainbow bridge in April 2022 and Salty just last week. We appreciate you being there and taking great care of them so we could bring them home. I will highly recommend you to all my friends for their furry loved ones. You truly were compassionate in our time of great sadness.
Yvonne Potter
Words cannot express the gratitude my husband and I feel toward Stephen Kuzinar and staff at Compassionate Pet Care. In our desperate times (twice) of need, my husband and I called Stephen, and he did not hesitate to come both times to take care of the final arrangements for both of our fur babies. The compassion and love he shows is like a breath of fresh air and there’s a sudden feeling of peace that takes over. We were able to breathe for the first time in two days upon Stephen’s arrival this last time. These folks honestly live up to the name “Compassionate Pet Care”’. Both times our fur babies were brought safely back home the next afternoon. We never thought about asking about the prices but in our time of grief, it didn’t seem important. We will say there is not another pet cremation service around that could ever compare to the low prices, yet BEST services anyone could ever possibly provide. If/when you are in need of this type service, I would highly recommend Compassionate Pet Cremation first and foremost. With deep gratitude, Yvonne and Sonny
Marie Edwards
We recently brought our beloved bearded dragon, maze, to compassionate care pet cremation. If there were more than 5 stars I would give it. It was a beautiful experience. We were given so much respect and care during this tough time and I couldn’t be more thankful to have their services. Would recommend to anyone who has lost a loved pet. Also the whole business has a special energy to it and was decorated beautifully. Very warm, welcoming and comfortable.
Denita Yates
Their name says it all! Compassionate Care! As my heart was broken when my mother's side kick 16.5 year old Toad Frog (a King Charles Cavalier) crossed the rainbow bridge to join her, Steve and his family were amazing. They help the hurt. They are professional, personable and yes Compassionate.
Jacqueline Huderson
I've used this business twice now - once to cremate a pet and once to move cremains from an old urn to a new one.Both times the employees were empathetic and kind. Their time quotes were very accurate and EXTREMELY fast. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. The owner went above and beyond what I asked for, making sure to get both white and black fur from my tuxedo cat.I've used the companies associated with a vet office before and have been frustrated with long turnaround, missing items, and prices. I didn't know there was another option, but I will never use one of those companies again.
Tammy Buckner
I just had to share the wonderful, compassionate service that we received after our dog Corey passed away suddenly. They answered quickly and were beyond kind. This happened in the evening and they came out right away. We were so heartbroken and didn't want to wake up to her lying there in the morning, especially the kids. She was returned the next day. A great display of professional and heartfelt work. I can't thank them enough. If you need someone please know they are highly recommended!!
Zeke Rascoe
I had a great experience with Steven and his kids, Kadie and Rusty. They were very helpful with the process, keeping me informed, showing genuine care for the service they are providing and the loss we went through. Even with my jumpy schedule I received great help and never felt unsure of where Bartholomew (Bearded Dragon) was. I highly recommend if you consider this option through your loss.
Jessica Cromer
They were so kind and caring with my furbaby. I felt so comfortable leaving my beloved dog in their care. Their services were reasonably priced and they took excellent care of my family and I. Thank you!
Sherry Click
I lost my little girl, MaeMae suddenly. She had a heart attack. I was with her when she passed. It was very sad and I still miss her so much. I called Compassionate Care and they scheduled a time for me to bring her in. Stephen and Jessica were so understanding and caring about my loss. It was a very difficult time for me and they made the heartache easier. The nice part was that I was able to pick up my baby’s remains just two days later and bring her home. I am grateful to have found them in my time of need. I recommend them highly to those who are looking for this service.
James O'Reilly
Very recently had my bearded dragon Medusa cross the rainbow bridge and wanted to get her cremated and back home with us as soon a possible. Steven did wonderful with her everything came out better than I could have ever asked for. His facility has a home feel and very professional and detailed with everything, which made us feel more comfortable with the process. Thank you for your beautiful work done. RIP my Medusa you will be missed.❤️
ARIANNA COOPER
They were extremely polite and helpful to me and my late furbaby. Even with their own busy schedules they had no problem fitting us in and assisting us. I highly recommend these guys to anyone needing the same service for your pets.
Rosalyn Johnson
CCPC did a wonderful job with everything when it came to the cremation and assistance with helping me navigate through the cremation process of my precious and sweet little Teacup Chihuahua, Bella. They did an excellent job from start to finish in terms of helping me create a memory box for my little girl as well as a beautiful pink urn, since I always dressed her in pink.I would highly recommend them to anyone living in the Jacksonville and St. Augustine area! I wouldn't have been able to make it through this difficult grieving process without Steve and his caring assistance and prompt follow-up.
Amber Smith
Having to say goodbye to our furbaby was a very painful experience. The kindness and compassion shown to us and our beloved furbaby made a very difficult day a little bit easier. On behalf of my family and Buster thank you so very much for the kindness and care shown to us today.
KImm H
Compassionate Care matched the experience of going to a human crematorium, but for pets. Our kitty died after 18 wonderful years of love, and CCPC helped us honor and memorialize her life. They placed her on a bed for a viewing, helped us choose the right size urn, let us have as much time as we needed to say goodbye, and was flexible in scheduling pick-up. They also sent home a care package with the certificate, a poem, and a wildflower seed packet in the shape of a heart. I would recommend them to anyone looking to cremate their dearly departed pet.
Lynn Sweeney
Stephen is the most kind and caring person when you lose you fur baby. I was an emotional wreck he was patient and made the cremation process easy. Thank you.
suzie meeks
If wish there was more than 5 ⭐️’s. My family has never had to experience this before. I literally just open googled and found this place. Mr Stephen was absolutely amazing from the first phone call to the day we picked up our beloved Sport. After the initial call he send me a text with his condolences for our loss. He was available any time we needed and his turn around time was 2 days!! My son had a hard time as this was his pet. He asked Mr Stephen if he could carve Sport’s name on his box and unfortunately he said he didn’t have the capability to. Today when we picked up our beloved Sport he took his box and went and had his name engraved on it for my son!!! He went above and beyond for our family and we will be forever grateful for him this first experience is going to be a hard one to top. We will definitely use him if needed again.
Shannon Brown
🛑 Stop scrolling !!! Your search is over you don’t have to look any where else!! this is the place for you ! First of all, if you are looking for somewhere to cremate your pet I am so so sorry for your loss but I had three go in the past few months and bringing them here was the best thing I’ve done! They will work with you, they have a lot of options and several locations. They care about your animals and you and will do what ever they can to help you ! I promise you need not look any farther just give them a call and you will understand. I appreciate all that they’ve done for me so much
A G
I highly recommend this location for cremation. Stephen was beyond helpful and caring. Very compassionate and went above and beyond my expectations, and it was very much appreciated. This was the most positive experience I have had while cremating an animal. He made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Thank you so much for all your help, and thank you for handling my Loki Lu’s cremation.
Peach
The best service. Both the owner and his son were kind and understanding and handled everything with professionalism. They graciously gave us a discount due to my pups size and included items with her remains to help us heal. I absolutely recommend them for when the unfortunate comes
Misty Clark
Our loved Chester was passing away at home. I found Stephen online around 10pm. I text him and was expecting a response the next morning...he text me back within a few minutes. We text back and forth for about 30 minutes. He was so comforting and compassionate. He passed this afternoon. I called and was able to bring him right away. His son was amazing and comforting as well. I would highly recommend Stephen and his family for anyone's pets cremation needs. The office was so homey and serene. Thank you for being my saving grace during this hard time.
Darby Stevens
They took very good care of our Izzy. Mr. Stephen was very professional. We loved that the service was prompt and a lot of care seemed to be taken. Will definitely recommend to any friends or family should they need these services. Loved that they had an in house cat. Definitely helped me not be so emotional while saying goodbye to my best friend.
Tanya Wood
Stephen is a awesome guy he is a kind person who really cares about your pet. He made payment arrangements for me so that I could afford cremation for my fur baby Shelby.
Maria Serrano
My dog Colita passed away yesterday and this was the perfect place to bring her. They are so compassionate and so kind. God bless you always and keep doing this beautiful work for all of us that love our pets as family!
Deanna Murray
This place is incredible. I appreciate that the owner was available the same day my dog passed away. The presentation to be able to say goodbye was so special. They have so many of the cremation items you see on the website available for you to pick from while you are there. The turnaround time was so quick, and the owner was kind enough to personally deliver me my sweet boy at my home. Would highly recommend this family owned place to anyone who has to say goodbye to their pets. Thank you for everything.
Megan Mangro
This establishment truly is a one of a kind place and the type of care this family puts into the store is amazing. I cannot thank Mr.Stephen enough for his compassion and patience throughout this journey with us. I feel relief knowing our baby boy was at least in good hands during this process. He took the time to listen to us reminiscing and even made sure that our sweet boys lucky whiskers came back home too. So thank you again for your wonderful services and for giving us the reassurance that our precious baby is back home with us ♥️
Cynthia Ratliff-Bufford
Our beloved family pet passed away yesterday afternoon from a seizure in his sleep. Our hearts were devastated. My daughter most especially took it hard, as she was "his person". With the added stress of storm prep for Idalia, you can imagine it's a difficult time for us. Without our asking or paying any additional fee they understood how hard this time was for her and rushed us through the process of cremating our Mocha. I can not tell you how grateful we are to have tokens of his life with us to reassure her during the storm. Thank you for taking good care of our Mocha and being sensitive to the needs of our family.
Jessica Braxton
I highly recommend. My son's beloved Ladybug transitioned and I wasn't sure of what to do. Stephen went above and beyond for our family. We can't thank you enough.
Jarek
I highly recommend their services. My daughter lost her hamster (1st pet) and we decided to get him cremated with Compassionate Care. Steve made my daughters final moments with her pet very special. He had the ashes back the very next day with a poem, and a flower patch to plant in the spring. She loves her paw prints!Thank you very much for attention to detail and taking care of our animal family!
Lucretia FREE
Our dog Shelli passed away a couple of weeks ago and we called Compassionate Care the day before to make the final arrangements. This was a very difficult phone call to make, but Jessica was very sweet and answered all of our questions. The next day we spoke with Mr. Steven and he told us his daughter would be available to assist us when we arrived. His daughter Kadie (I hope I'm spelling her name correctly) was extremely helpful and thoughtful when going over the formalities and choosing an urn. She was very empathetic to how we were feeling, and very easy to talk to. We picked up our fur baby's ashes and paw print a few days later, and Mr. Steven was there to greet us. They made the entire process stress free and really put us at ease. They show the upmost compassion and you feel that they genuinely care. We would definitely recommend them to others.
BellameiGG7
They were so friendly and compassionate. He even hand delivered my baby back to me. I am forever greatful for this experience. It's a hard time, and there is no right time to lose a pet, but it was made easier by this experience.
Heather Quinn
This week I unexpectedly lost My Beautiful boy Rebel on June 17, 2022 and Compassionate Care Pet Cremation was able to cremate Rebel for me and do payments because it was unexpected and they also get a final paw print and a ink print. They do it with so much care and love <3. Honestly I think they deserve more than 5 stars they are amazing.Thank You So Much!
Devon Russell
The staff was kind and very helpful through our difficult time. They took the time to give us extra hair clippings and paw prints for our guinea pig. I would absolutely recommend Compassionate Care for pet cremation. The staff even waited for us before closing up. 6 out of 5 stars!
Joseph Isaiah moore
At compassionate care cremation I couldn’t have asked for a better experience during such a horrific time. They were understanding caring and extremely attentive. Because of their elite customer service they will always get my referral!
Amy Skelton
Their name says it all. Most kind and compassionate place. They make a very difficult process much easier. They truly understand the love people have for their fur-babies. I highly recommend them.
Joe Medina
Stephen was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. Saying goodbye to my bestfriend was one of hardest things I've ever had to do but he helped us thru such a difficult time. He arrived very quickly and was kind, caring and sincere. I can't recommend him enough to help you thru such a hard time. Thank you Stephen!
Yvette Montalvo
Words cannot express the feeling of care complete understanding and love that Stephen gave to our hearts ❤️ the special care he gave to our conure baby we had her for 18yrs. Amazing prices and beautiful ⚱️ urns He made it so much easier for our hearts and baby thank you is not enough so I will be bringing him cookies I bake. You Stephen are A blessing 🙏🐾🌺
Dawn Mitchell
These guys are phenomenal ,fast compassionate service i first spoke with the owner( dad) he was so heart felt and assure me they would handle everything then the son came and got my baby he was a sweetheart also i highly recommend this company i was so overwhelmed and they made the transition better! Thanks again
Mirca Munoz
I brought my beautiful Chloe here. Everything was so beautiful we felt so welcomed that I wasn’t so upset on leaving her. I was able to get her ashes, her tiny prints, plus some of her hair super happy she came back home.
MyMetamorphosis
Steve and his company was absolutely incredible during a horrible time for my family. Steve was so kind, gracious, empathetic, patient and kind. He treats your beloved pet just as wonderfully as he treats you. I wouldn't ever want to deal with anyone else for this service. I would highly recommend this company to anyone going through this tough time. Thank you so much Steve for helping my mom and I through such a hard time. We truly appreciate you being there for us.
KeiSeanna Shipman
I explained to Mr. Stephen that my Shih Zu, Maui, was struck by neighbor, due to him driving on my yard, striking my baby. Mr.Stephen was veryyyy compassionate towards my family and I, as we mourned his death. I’ve never experienced this much pain in my life. Mr.Stephen has put my family and I, heartache at ease, with so much care he showed towards us. He even took care of us as we said our finale goodbyes. Thank you Mr.Stephen for everything. RIP son. I will get justice for you. ❤️
Sasha Gajewski
On Thursday night, I received a phone call from my daughter on my way home. The devastation and heartache that I heard was unbearable. Our sweet bunny was dead. I arrived home and just cradled my daughter while she held onto her fur baby. In complete disbelief I started to search for a pet cremation service that would take our sweet girl that night. We called and the man on the phone was so sweet and warm. He asked if we wanted her picked up or if we’d be bringing her in. We opted to bring her in. When we arrived, he gently took her from us and moments later he came back in the room with her peacefully laid on a beautiful bed, all tucked in like she was sleeping. We were able to sit with her a little while longer to say our final goodbyes. The next day we were able to pick up our baby and bring her home to remain with my daughter forever. I can’t thank them enough for their service and compassion. Losing a fur baby is never easy, but Compassionate Care Pet Crematory helped make it a little more bearable.
Deanna Emery
This is my first time using Compassionate Care. I love knowing that my dog’s ashes are only his. Everyone was so comforting and made this difficult time much easier to bear.
Tony Inman
I cannot recommend this place enough. My mother ended up having to put her sweet little chihuahua, Nicky, down at the vet. I called Compassionate Care Pet Cremation and the owner answered the phone immediately and was willing to help in any way possible. He was able to offer me cremation services, along with different things he could do to help the memory of Nicky live on. He was able to help us with an amazing chihuahua themed box to put Nicky's ashes in, clay pawprints, inked paw prints, and a patch of her fur. The owner and his son made one of the most devastating times that someone has to go through a little bit easier. They showed so much compassion and empathy towards us and it really helped us get through this difficult time. I will always recommend this business as they really seem to care about making it as easy ad possible for you.
Brooke McCulloch
They are very kind. When my Kitty passed away in the middle of the night they were there for me. I was able to bring her in the morning. I could not have asked for more compassion and warmth. They understood what I was going thru and were very sweet.
Arlind M
Our family cat that we had for almost 16 years passed away just after midnight on Saturday. I had contacted compassionate care for details before the cat passed. Stephen and his son are very professional with everything, they don’t try to push you to buy things. I sent a text to stephen after our cat passed, thinking it would be way too late but he answered even at 3 am. We arranged the time to bring our cat in. They made the process very easy and took the stress away from my family and I. They provided updates before, during and after the cremation. I highly recommend their services if you ever lose a pet.
Lasanda Breivogel
Steven was there for me in my time of need and treated my dog Coco with such compassion. He helped me to find a vet, Dr.Sophie who would come to my house to help Coco pass. This was a Saturdayand an emergency situation I had an appointment scheduled thru Lap of love for the following day. But my dog told me she was READY NOW. Lap of love said they would put her on a first com first serve basis but would have to muzzle her during the process. Or it would have to wait until Monday since i wanted her to be sedatedfirst. Absolutely NOT muzzling my dog when she is having trouble breathing and is dying, she wasnt leaving this world in such a disrespectful manner. I was desperately searching for someone else to come when Steven gave me Dr. SOPHIE's name who came as soon as she could and I could get back to being at my dogs side to comfort her and say our goodbyes. He has a stretcher like they use at funerals and a beautiful red velvet blanket he put over her. He treated her with such dignity and respect. It meant so much to me to have that last memory of her in that way. And he got her ashes back to me within 24 hours she was back home in her bed resting peacefully forever. Thank you so much Steven for your genuine empathy. Only special people can do what you do. My girl was treated like a queen all the way to the end and I wouldnt have it any other way

We were fortunate to find Compassionate Care Pet Cremation. The people here are caring & understanding. They made us aware of all options available to us, but made a point of letting us know that they wouldn't be pushing anything extra, & they were true to their word.They gave our sweet boy one last tasteful presentation & time to say our final goodbyes privately, which we truly appreciated. The pricing was affordable, & drop-off/pick-up was well coordinated. They only offer private, on-site cremations, which was comforting.Thank you so much for everything <3

Jen Marie
I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to commemorate the memory of their beloved animal. Stephen was very thoughtful, caring & considerate to what I wanted to have done to show my love for my baby girl leah (who passed a little over a week ago). He was informative & respectful & the lady who burned my baby girls face into a keepsake box just did an amazing job. 👏 I can't thank her enough. I know my leah would've loved her portrait as well as the poems & paw prints on the box. My butterfly pendent is beautiful as well as her urn. I'm so happy w/ all the items I've received. Thanks so much.
Shayla
My sweet girl passed away 5/5 after 4PM, I dropped her off with them around 5:30PM. I received her back with her beautiful paw print and urn, and some dog hair today 5/6. When you drop your fur baby off they put flowers on them and allow you to spend as much time as needed to say good bye. So much compassion and care with these guys! I highly recommend them and can’t appreciate what they done for me enough. Loosing a pet is never easy but knowing you have caring people to help put them to rest and allow you a way to have your pet forever is truly a blessing.
Brooke D
I am so incredibly thankful I found this place on Google when my sweet baby passed away. Mr. Stephen was so kind, professional, and compassionate during this difficult time. I really feel like my dog was handled with the utmost care and respect. There were many urns to choose from - I picked one with a photo slot, and he went out of his way to print the photo for me so it was all ready to go. I highly recommend this place to anyone who has lost a pet. Thank you so much Mr. Stephen.
Judy Kinsey
Jessica with Compassionate Care Pet Cremations went above and beyond to help us during this sad time, losing our sweet Mimi. She was at their Westside location and met us at their Rogero location, since it was closer to us. She showed compassion, was very helpful and we were able to pick up Mimi’s urn the next day. I would highly recommend them to help you make the decisions best for you and your family pet.
Hydra Martin
The night our dog died was very traumatic for us, and his unexpected passing left us scrambling, teary eyed, for options on cremations. Thankfully Compassionate Care Pet Cremation answered on the second ring and came to pick up his body within the hour. The process was sombering but very quick and efficient and the staff was very friendly and understanding to the situation. Highly recommended if you too are unfortunate enough to lose a beloved pet.
shannah grinberg
Losing a beloved pet is never easy, but finding a service that handles such a delicate situation with grace and empathy can make all the difference. That’s precisely what I found with Compassionate Care Pet Cremation, a dog cremation service that exceeded all expectations during our family’s time of tragedy. From the moment we contacted them, the team understood the deep bond we shared with our furry family member and treated our beloved pet with the utmost respect.The process was seamless and transparent. They patiently guided us through the options available and answered all of our questions with empathy and understanding. When it came time to say goodbye, they handled everything with care and dignity. They treated our pet with reverence, giving us the peace of mind that our beloved companion was in good hands. In the midst of our grief, they provided a beacon of light. Their compassionate service helped ease the pain of our loss and allowed us to find solace in knowing that our pet was treated with the love and respect they deserved. I cannot recommend Compassionate Care Pet Cremation highly enough. During a time of heartache and sorrow, they provided comfort, support, and understanding beyond measure. If you find yourself in need of such services, look no further than Compassionate Care Pet Cremation, They are truly angels in disguise, guiding families through the darkest of times with grace and compassion
Renate Choate
Highly recommend!!Our Toby passed yesterday unexpectedly and we instantly decided to cremate. We chose this place based on reviews and we are so happy we did. Our baby was cremated and brought home today. They were professional and compassionate. I don’t know what the going rate is for pet cremations, but we felt the price was fair. We were also not pressured into buying extras (we got the paw print impression keepsake and it came out beautifully—get it, you’ll be glad you did). When the time comes for our other pets, we will look no further.
Tony May
Steve was beyond amazing during our entire process! He was so compassion and kind. The environment of his place is so tranquil and calming, my grandmother was so nervous going in but as soon as she hit the door, it all went away. Steve and this business went above and beyond. He got our baby back to us in 24 hours! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking such great care of our Shayla!
Sabrina B
After the loss of our Shiloh, they were so kind and helpful and made the process so easy. I will recommend them to anyone who needs affordable, compassionate care for their beloved pet’s remains.
Caroline Fechtig
I just want to thank Stephen so much. This was such a difficult time for me, but he made this process comforting and simple. He was able to take us day of the passing and gave me the time to say goodbye to my cat before leaving. I appreciate his kindness and understanding. The understanding of how precious pets lives are and the love we as owners have for them is very evident here. Thank you, again.
Gabrielle Hambrick
My sweet cat I've had since I was 7 died Tuesday. I couldn't find anyone called Stephen and he cared and was respectful he came and got my sweet girl and took her off. He did everything I asked and made the best of the situation. Definitely recommended him for anything like this! I appreciate it all. You helped me in a time of hurt!
Kelly Whitney
Thank You Compassionate Pet for taking care of our bestest boy Salty and our precious Sandy girl. Sandy crossed the rainbow bridge in April 2022 and Salty just last week. We appreciate you being there and taking great care of them so we could bring them home. I will highly recommend you to all my friends for their furry loved ones. You truly were compassionate in our time of great sadness.

Both times our fur babies were brought safely back home the next afternoon. We never thought about asking about the prices but in our time of grief, it didn’t seem important. We will say there is not another pet cremation service around that could ever compare to the low prices, yet BEST services anyone could ever possibly provide.

I highly recommend this location for cremation. Stephen was beyond helpful and caring. Very compassionate and went above and beyond my expectations, and it was very much appreciated. This was the most positive experience I have had while cremating an animal. He made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Thank you so much for all your help, and thank you for handling my Loki Lu’s cremation.
Peach
The best service. Both the owner and his son were kind and understanding and handled everything with professionalism. They graciously gave us a discount due to my pups size and included items with her remains to help us heal. I absolutely recommend them for when the unfortunate comes
Shellie Beckham
We recently adopted a steady kitten, who unknown to us had internal issues from being hit by a car. It passed away, and we were devastated. Compassionate Care Pet Cremation was absolutely amazing. Kind and caring. They brought our Mary Monroe home to us. We are so grateful for their service. Will use again.
Amelia Beckerleg
Wonderfully kind and considerate people work here. The owner is just so sweet! I came a little early the next day for picking up my baby, and his clay paw-print was still hardening, so the owner was able to deliver it to me. I am so grateful. They included the sweetest little bit of his fur, with both of his colors, it was so special to see that in my bag. There are some really beautiful options for urns. The 24hr service is a huge plus, as it was almost 5pm when I was looking for somewhere to take my boy, and I haven’t seen anything else like this before! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Kimberly Beard
We lost our 13-year-old fur baby Peyton on February 22nd. We took her the next day and met Stephen who was very compassionate with our lost. He provided us a few minutes of comfort when he brought her out in the viewing area on a bed with a pillow, she was covered with a beautiful pink flowered quilt with yellow roses on top of her. This made this difficult morning a little easier. The next day we went to receive her ashes, Stephen provided us a lock of her hair which was unexpected but very thankful for that. Stephen made this very difficult time somewhat easier. We highly recommend Compassionate Care Pet Cremation.
Marian CJ
It's our first time experiencing pet loss with our baby, Joji. My sister had called soon after Joji passed early in the morning and they answered her quickly, we were able to bring Joji in couple of hours later. We were a sobbing mess but the process was well explained and I felt like my baby was truly in good hands. This experience definitely help ease the pain my family and I are living through.
Leslie Bolante
We lost our beloved cat early in the morning. I was able to call and talk to Stephen about bringing Albie in to be cremated that night. He welcomed us with open arms and was so kind and understanding. He was so professional. He let us take our time to pick out the perfect urn for my precious Albie and listen to our stories about him. I definitely recommend going here for your fur baby needs. Thank you Stephen for taking such good care of my Albie.
Illa Congdon
This is the only place I will ever go to when any of my pets unfortunately pass away. I have been here twice already with 2 hamsters. My beloved hamsters Hamilton and Celeste. The prices are affordable and fair. The compassion, love, and care they show makes the grieving process easier. I also love the flexible hours of operation and how someone is always available to assist.
Lagloria Bronner
I recently contacted Compassionate Care Pet Cremation to handle the farewell to my beloved best friend (Noah).I must say that Mr.Stephen and Stephanie went above and beyond for your girl.I never had to handle a death of a furbaby.Didn’t know what to do but Stephen explained the entire process to me and I was very amazed at his services.I highly recommend Compassionate Care Pet Cremation,They are very compassionate,affordable and very fast with their services.
michael pruitt
Lost our pet cat Mecca and got nothing but compassion and respect from this establishment. They went above and beyond making sure that we were able to give our Mecca a proper send home. Thank you

I am leaving this a 4 star review despite all of the things below, as we received what we paid for in a timely manner, as well as got a tuft of our pet's fur which I did not expect and greatly appreciated.We came here on Tuesday after our elderly cat passed away. The man on the phone, who I assume was the owner, was very kind and compassionate. My father and I brought our cat in and were greeted by two young ladies who did not quite look professional as you would expect in this business (t-shirts and jean shorts), but the comforting environment of the place made us overlook it. We were told our urn and paw print cast would be ready that Friday and that we would receive a phone call when everything was ready.I did not receive the receipt I was told would be sent to me via text or email, so when 3pm Friday came along we became worried as we had not heard anything from them. I gave them a call and the man knew exactly the cat I was referring to by name, and seemed shocked that I hadn't received a phone call by now, as he was positive she was ready. He said he was not there right now and asked when I would like to pick her up, to which I replied "well what time are you going to be there?" 5pm. My father and I show up a few minutes before 5pm and see a truck sitting in the parking lot and a man walks out with two small children. We assumed it was the owner, but the man leaving his truck also assumed we were the owners. We waited outside in the heat discussing how we thought it was a bit rude to be late to something like this when emotions are so high after just losing a loved one. The other customer said he did not receive a phone call either, despite them telling him they "definitely called". The other customer called the company number to tell them he was there waiting.A truck pulls in a few minutes later and the two young ladies we dealt with before got out in the same unprofessional clothing, apologizing for being late. We walked inside and it felt hotter inside than it was outside in the Florida heat. Personally, as someone who is mourning a lost loved one, I would expect a more comfortable environment when returning for their ashes. On the counter sat about 7 bags containing the urns and paw print casts of our pets. This lead me to assume (just assume) that no one got their calls about their urns being ready, as it was already so late in the day. It is saddening to think of people sitting at home mourning their loved one's passing while their ashes sit on the counter of a dark, sweltering room. Had we not called, that would have been us, too. I told the young lady that I did not receive a receipt from our previous visit and she got out her phone to text me again, and immediately turned her attention to the other customer who did not receive his paw print cast. She went into the back and asked "where is (name of pet's) paw print?" to someone, I assume on the phone. We did not appreciate being addressed and immediately left to address another customer's problem (though I do acknowledge that a missing print cast is more important than a receipt). We told the other young girl to tell her to please email us the receipt when she is done, as it was just too hot and emotions were too high to stay any longer. We still have not received our receipt.I am not writing this review with ill intent, as I am very happy my pet is home with us now, and that is all that matters. My hope is that the owner will read this and take into consideration the lack of professionalism by his young staff and make a few changes, as we have 5 other beautiful cats at home and would love to be able to come back to this establishment again when the time comes in the future.Edit: The owner emailed me shortly after my review was posted and was very understanding of our experience, and explained why he was unable to be there. A $50 credit was added to our account which is very appreciated. I will be revisiting this business in the future. Thank you so much for being as compassionate and caring to me via email as your previous reviews imply you are.
Emily Vincent
My mom's dog passed away suddenly this afternoon. I called to see if they would accept pets from home and not a vet's office because we didn't make it in time. They were very compassionate and helpful. They understand that pets are family. I felt they really took care of him and he's in great hands. I highly recommend.
Maria Rueda
We took our little angel here, and it was wonderful. They treated her with love and kindness. As soon as we got there, they were waiting for us with a warm welcoming. I am happy we took her here to get her cremated. We got her ashes, hair, a paw print, and her paw on clay it was just beautiful. Thank you for making it special for all of us. I highly recommend this place.
Misty Clark
Our loved Chester was passing away at home. I found Stephen online around 10pm. I text him and was expecting a response the next morning...he text me back within a few minutes. We text back and forth for about 30 minutes. He was so comforting and compassionate. He passed this afternoon. I called and was able to bring him right away. His son was amazing and comforting as well. I would highly recommend Stephen and his family for anyone's pets cremation needs. The office was so homey and serene. Thank you for being my saving grace during this hard time.
Darby Stevens
They took very good care of our Izzy. Mr. Stephen was very professional. We loved that the service was prompt and a lot of care seemed to be taken. Will definitely recommend to any friends or family should they need these services. Loved that they had an in house cat. Definitely helped me not be so emotional while saying goodbye to my best friend.
Tanya Wood
Stephen is a awesome guy he is a kind person who really cares about your pet. He made payment arrangements for me so that I could afford cremation for my fur baby Shelby.
Joseph Isaiah moore
At compassionate care cremation I couldn’t have asked for a better experience during such a horrific time. They were understanding caring and extremely attentive. Because of their elite customer service they will always get my referral!
Amy Skelton
Their name says it all. Most kind and compassionate place. They make a very difficult process much easier. They truly understand the love people have for their fur-babies. I highly recommend them.
Joe Medina
Stephen was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. Saying goodbye to my bestfriend was one of hardest things I've ever had to do but he helped us thru such a difficult time. He arrived very quickly and was kind, caring and sincere. I can't recommend him enough to help you thru such a hard time. Thank you Stephen!
Yvette Montalvo
Words cannot express the feeling of care complete understanding and love that Stephen gave to our hearts ❤️ the special care he gave to our conure baby we had her for 18yrs. Amazing prices and beautiful ⚱️ urns He made it so much easier for our hearts and baby thank you is not enough so I will be bringing him cookies I bake. You Stephen are A blessing 🙏🐾🌺
Dawn Mitchell

Thanks again
Mirca Munoz
I brought my beautiful Chloe here. Everything was so beautiful we felt so welcomed that I wasn’t so upset on leaving her. I was able to get her ashes, her tiny prints, plus some of her hair super happy she came back home.
Elizabeth Bennett Hernandez
I was out of town 7 hours away, my spouse was with our baby until I could get there. He said he was preparing and looking for a place that would take care of her. I refused to call because I just kept telling myself she would make it! I got the call she wasn’t going to make it much longer. So I called and Stephen was so concerned about our family and our sweet baby! I told him I didn’t want to call, he understood tried to calm me down. 20 mins after I got to her we lost our beautiful baby girl. He offered to come get her but we decided to take the last ride with her. When I tell you Stephen made me feel like he cared so very much! He never rushed me to leave her. He let me sit there with her as long as I needed. He brought a little bed out to put her on and we were able to tuck her in and give her all the love before we left. She looked like she was sleeping. He went above and beyond! Our baby was treated with love and care! He treated us like we were more than customers! I can never say thank you enough! I recommend using them! Thank you so very much for your serious compassion and love you gave our big mama.

Recently one of my family’s beloved dogs passed away. I looked for a local pet crematory and came across compassionate care pet cremation. It was early Sunday morning when I called and was greeted by a friendly voice who expressed kindness and sympathy for my loss. They were prompt, offering to pick up my dog or meet at their location within a few hours. I arrived at the location; a very calm and welcoming environment where they placed my dog on a pillow with flowers and allowed me to spend some last moments with her. The process was quick as I was told I could pick up her remains the days after. I highly recommend Compassionate pet care cremation and will be returning; not only do they provide cremation survices for you pet but also the care and consideration a family needs when they are grieving. Thank you for everything.
mary j
These gentlemen came and treated me and my big dog with so much respect. Stephen put me at ease and the respect for my dog was amazing. He did not pressure me into things and found me a beautiful box for my beloved dog. He also made a lovely clay paw print for me and the necklace I ordered is beautiful. I wish to thank him and his partner for making the process easy and comfortable.Thank you gentlemen for the respect and compassion and for helping me through this tough time.💖
Tony Ortiz
When you have a pet they become your family member. Your child. One of the hardest things and times of your family’s life is to make a decision to do after your baby pet passes away is what’s next. What do we do. This amazing family practice answered my crying call late at night after 10 to bring peace to me and my family. They not only honored and gave respect to our sandy but gave us closure and peace of mind. In less than 24 this staff have sadly the final blessing to go to doggy heaven. Thank you for what you guys do.
Krista Harper
Incredibly grateful for Stephen's professionalism and compassion during such a difficult week for our family. I called Stephen the morning after we had to unexpectedly put down our beloved senior dog, and he picked our dog up from the vet that morning. When I came in to the office to complete paperwork, he had prepared our dog's body for me to visit with in a very beautiful, caring way. I wasn't expecting to see his body again, but it was so healing to see him again after the trauma of leaving his body at the vet the night before. When it was time to pick our dog's cremation remains up, Stephen went out of his way to drop our dog off at our home at 8pm. Extremely grateful for his thoughtfulness during such a hard time.
Natasha Cardona
We sadly lost Bonita on March 06, 2021 and Pet Care Cremation was able to cremate her body and give us her ashes back and get a final paw print. Sadly my little brothers broke the paw print but they had a mold and were able to recreate it for me <3. More recently we lost our guinea pig Milo and we were able to call them and they also were able to cremate Milo’s remains and give us the ashes. They do it with so much care and love <3 and the message they include on the bag has you crying every time you read it but gives you hopes of reconnecting with your family pet in the rainbow bridge. Honestly deserve more than 5 stars. Thank you from all of our family.
Elizabeth Ginsburg
Rarely in this life, do we find people who genuinely have a spiritual love for others as well as for their Fur babies or other pets that have touched their lives and hearts. This is one of those times when I can honestly say. Compassionate pet cremation and it's owner. Stephen are absoliterally the most beautiful speaker, spiritual compassionate. Caring people people. I have encountered in many years and I am grateful. That are paths crossed at a time when my heart was shattered and you reassured me I was gonna be OK. Thank you so very much. There are not enough stars in the sky. Much less on this review Say how highly I recommend this facility to anyone who wants to be sure. Their babies are safely taken care of.💕
Ziona Banks
Very caring, compassionate, understanding. The process was quick. He came out and picked up our beloved pet with care and even returned her to us. He didn't have to do that, but he did because he is such a caring person. Everything was done so nicely. These will be cherished. 10 out of 10 recommend.
Shamus Stevens
We came here with our girl cat Zelda. It was incredibly sad that she passed away but Stephen was there for us when we needed him the most. He let us say our goodbyes and held on to her till we came to bring her home. He went above and beyond for our family and I will always be grateful. If you have a furry family member who has passed and want to lay the to rest and keep them forever, I recommend coming here to Compassionate Care Pet Cremation. Thank you again Stephen for helping our family have peace!!
xena padron
Wonderful and understanding. I called to come in after my darling ball python passed late 9pm, and they received me with open arms. Very sweet packaging with my son safely kept. Definitely eased my grief.
MyMetamorphosis
Steve and his company was absolutely incredible during a horrible time for my family. Steve was so kind, gracious, empathetic, patient and kind. He treats your beloved pet just as wonderfully as he treats you. I wouldn't ever want to deal with anyone else for this service. I would highly recommend this company to anyone going through this tough time. Thank you so much Steve for helping my mom and I through such a hard time. We truly appreciate you being there for us.
KeiSeanna Shipman
I explained to Mr. Stephen that my Shih Zu, Maui, was struck by neighbor, due to him driving on my yard, striking my baby. Mr.Stephen was veryyyy compassionate towards my family and I, as we mourned his death. I’ve never experienced this much pain in my life. Mr.Stephen has put my family and I, heartache at ease, with so much care he showed towards us. He even took care of us as we said our finale goodbyes. Thank you Mr.Stephen for everything. RIP son. I will get justice for you. ❤️
Sasha Gajewski
On Thursday night, I received a phone call from my daughter on my way home. The devastation and heartache that I heard was unbearable. Our sweet bunny was dead. I arrived home and just cradled my daughter while she held onto her fur baby. In complete disbelief I started to search for a pet cremation service that would take our sweet girl that night. We called and the man on the phone was so sweet and warm. He asked if we wanted her picked up or if we’d be bringing her in. We opted to bring her in. When we arrived, he gently took her from us and moments later he came back in the room with her peacefully laid on a beautiful bed, all tucked in like she was sleeping. We were able to sit with her a little while longer to say our final goodbyes. The next day we were able to pick up our baby and bring her home to remain with my daughter forever. I can’t thank them enough for their service and compassion. Losing a fur baby is never easy, but Compassionate Care Pet Crematory helped make it a little more bearable.
Deanna Emery
This is my first time using Compassionate Care. I love knowing that my dog’s ashes are only his. Everyone was so comforting and made this difficult time much easier to bear.
Jen Marie
I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to commemorate the memory of their beloved animal. Stephen was very thoughtful, caring & considerate to what I wanted to have done to show my love for my baby girl leah (who passed a little over a week ago). He was informative & respectful & the lady who burned my baby girls face into a keepsake box just did an amazing job. 👏 I can't thank her enough. I know my leah would've loved her portrait as well as the poems & paw prints on the box. My butterfly pendent is beautiful as well as her urn. I'm so happy w/ all the items I've received. Thanks so much.
Shayla
My sweet girl passed away 5/5 after 4PM, I dropped her off with them around 5:30PM. I received her back with her beautiful paw print and urn, and some dog hair today 5/6. When you drop your fur baby off they put flowers on them and allow you to spend as much time as needed to say good bye. So much compassion and care with these guys! I highly recommend them and can’t appreciate what they done for me enough. Loosing a pet is never easy but knowing you have caring people to help put them to rest and allow you a way to have your pet forever is truly a blessing.
Brooke D
I am so incredibly thankful I found this place on Google when my sweet baby passed away. Mr. Stephen was so kind, professional, and compassionate during this difficult time. I really feel like my dog was handled with the utmost care and respect. There were many urns to choose from - I picked one with a photo slot, and he went out of his way to print the photo for me so it was all ready to go. I highly recommend this place to anyone who has lost a pet. Thank you so much Mr. Stephen.
Judy Kinsey
Jessica with Compassionate Care Pet Cremations went above and beyond to help us during this sad time, losing our sweet Mimi. She was at their Westside location and met us at their Rogero location, since it was closer to us. She showed compassion, was very helpful and we were able to pick up Mimi’s urn the next day. I would highly recommend them to help you make the decisions best for you and your family pet.
Hydra Martin
The night our dog died was very traumatic for us, and his unexpected passing left us scrambling, teary eyed, for options on cremations. Thankfully Compassionate Care Pet Cremation answered on the second ring and came to pick up his body within the hour. The process was sombering but very quick and efficient and the staff was very friendly and understanding to the situation. Highly recommended if you too are unfortunate enough to lose a beloved pet.
shannah grinberg
Losing a beloved pet is never easy, but finding a service that handles such a delicate situation with grace and empathy can make all the difference. That’s precisely what I found with Compassionate Care Pet Cremation, a dog cremation service that exceeded all expectations during our family’s time of tragedy. From the moment we contacted them, the team understood the deep bond we shared with our furry family member and treated our beloved pet with the utmost respect.The process was seamless and transparent. They patiently guided us through the options available and answered all of our questions with empathy and understanding. When it came time to say goodbye, they handled everything with care and dignity. They treated our pet with reverence, giving us the peace of mind that our beloved companion was in good hands. In the midst of our grief, they provided a beacon of light. Their compassionate service helped ease the pain of our loss and allowed us to find solace in knowing that our pet was treated with the love and respect they deserved. I cannot recommend Compassionate Care Pet Cremation highly enough. During a time of heartache and sorrow, they provided comfort, support, and understanding beyond measure. If you find yourself in need of such services, look no further than Compassionate Care Pet Cremation, They are truly angels in disguise, guiding families through the darkest of times with grace and compassion
Angela Williams
Compassionate Care Pet Cremation answered our call at about 6am. Our family pet had just passed away and they were our first call. They were so kind and accommodating. Every ask that we had- they accommodated from an immediate drop off, to a contactless process. Our Ivy was in good hands and regarded with love and care. We are so thankful. If you elect to cremate your beloved pet- Compassionate Care Pet Cremation is your best choice.
Todd Lankford
Steve was absolutely wonderful. He and I met under different circumstances but when it came time to handle our beloved Max he took care of everything with the utmost care and professionalism. I don’t hesitate to recommend him and his staff for the final arrangements of your pet.
Mary Davis
I can't think of a better place to handle the losses we've sustained. They are comforting and compassionate without being fake. They are kind, affordable, and very understanding when you lose your loved ones unexpectedly and aren't prepared for the loss or cost. I highly recommend them!RIP Rex and Max
Joe Anderson
I appreciate you for being there at such a heartbreaking time. Professional but personable, understanding and very kind to my wife and I…but especially our children.Was hard to leave him but knew he was in respectful and caring hands. All my family and I can say is a simple and heartfelt thank you.
Michael Davis
Our 9 year old best friend left me and my son abruptly. My English bulldog, Behr, was certainly a bully for those he loved. A gentle giant, and a greedy Georgia dawg.I called around, and Compassionate care were the only ones who asked what his name was. I was on my way to another location, with an appointment and everything, but then I received a text stating they’d be back in 15 minutes. I’m glad I made that choice. When I walked in, they remembered his name was even spelled differently. They go, “Like the paint?”…… Exactly! I’m a Falcon Fan, and the owner founded Home Depot. It’s the simple things that touch your soul. I appreciated it and I know Behr would’ve appreciated it.
Sara Barket (Zedler815)
Stephen and Russell, thank you so much for your kindness. Some people think that if the animal is not a cat or dog, the animal isn't special enough for...idk! A proper send off?...but I decided to cremate my boy and I miss him so terribly and Stephen and Russell were very kind and sensitive to my situation. I highly appreciate their services. 100% recommend.RIP, Smaug. You are forever loved, my friend. 💚
Dr. Stacy Barczak Baker
I cannot express enough gratitude for how amazing Stephen was to Ivan and our family in this challenging time of having to guide him into his transition out of this physical world. Stephen was such a light in this process and made things as easy yet still so intentional and caring along the way! Everything to answer our calls, answering our questions, and doing anything he could to make this process as seamless as possible was so appreciated and while we don't want to have to be faced with these hardships in the future, should we have to go through it again - we would certainly have Stephen be a part of our team once again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much for your caring heart!
Jessica
I'm deeply grateful for the incredible experience I've had here. Stephen was truly exceptional, a real blessing. His compassion and empathy made me feel so comforted, especially during a difficult time. I was overwhelmed with sadness and fear, but he made the process much easier to bear. I'm truly amazed by the level of support this place provides for those grieving the loss of a beloved friend. There's nowhere else like it, and I'm in awe of its compassion and empathy. Again words cannot describe how grateful I am to have found this place. Please go there I promise you will feel so much at ease knowing your beloved will be in good hands.Thank you so much Stephen!
Misty Occi
I, unfortunately, lost my dog last week. I had no clue what to do with him and calling a few vets didn't seem to make my decision any easier. I happened to come upon an ad for Compassionate Care and called them, and I am so glad I did. Stephen, the owner, answered and he was incredibly kind and helpful. He explained the different options available and answered every question I had. He met me at the office and let me say goodbye to my baby one last time. Stephen then delivered my sweet babies remains to me at home. You can tell how much love and compassion he puts into his work. It shows in every little detail from start to finish. If you have the unfortunate need for pet cremation, please give Stephen a call.
Lizeth Ustariz
Mr Stephen deserves all the stars, he made this terrible process a little more bearable. He was very kind, compassionate, respectful and accesible. Most of all he handle my baby like he was his own, for that I’m forever grateful. I recommend this place 100%.
Renate Choate
Highly recommend!!Our Toby passed yesterday unexpectedly and we instantly decided to cremate. We chose this place based on reviews and we are so happy we did. Our baby was cremated and brought home today. They were professional and compassionate. I don’t know what the going rate is for pet cremations, but we felt the price was fair. We were also not pressured into buying extras (we got the paw print impression keepsake and it came out beautifully—get it, you’ll be glad you did). When the time comes for our other pets, we will look no further.
Tony May
Steve was beyond amazing during our entire process! He was so compassion and kind. The environment of his place is so tranquil and calming, my grandmother was so nervous going in but as soon as she hit the door, it all went away. Steve and this business went above and beyond. He got our baby back to us in 24 hours! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking such great care of our Shayla!
Sabrina B
After the loss of our Shiloh, they were so kind and helpful and made the process so easy. I will recommend them to anyone who needs affordable, compassionate care for their beloved pet’s remains.
Caroline Fechtig
I just want to thank Stephen so much. This was such a difficult time for me, but he made this process comforting and simple. He was able to take us day of the passing and gave me the time to say goodbye to my cat before leaving. I appreciate his kindness and understanding. The understanding of how precious pets lives are and the love we as owners have for them is very evident here. Thank you, again.
Shellie Beckham
We recently adopted a steady kitten, who unknown to us had internal issues from being hit by a car. It passed away, and we were devastated. Compassionate Care Pet Cremation was absolutely amazing. Kind and caring. They brought our Mary Monroe home to us. We are so grateful for their service. Will use again.
Amelia Beckerleg
Wonderfully kind and considerate people work here. The owner is just so sweet! I came a little early the next day for picking up my baby, and his clay paw-print was still hardening, so the owner was able to deliver it to me. I am so grateful. They included the sweetest little bit of his fur, with both of his colors, it was so special to see that in my bag. There are some really beautiful options for urns. The 24hr service is a huge plus, as it was almost 5pm when I was looking for somewhere to take my boy, and I haven’t seen anything else like this before! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Kimberly Beard
We lost our 13-year-old fur baby Peyton on February 22nd. We took her the next day and met Stephen who was very compassionate with our lost. He provided us a few minutes of comfort when he brought her out in the viewing area on a bed with a pillow, she was covered with a beautiful pink flowered quilt with yellow roses on top of her. This made this difficult morning a little easier. The next day we went to receive her ashes, Stephen provided us a lock of her hair which was unexpected but very thankful for that. Stephen made this very difficult time somewhat easier. We highly recommend Compassionate Care Pet Cremation.
Marian CJ
It's our first time experiencing pet loss with our baby, Joji. My sister had called soon after Joji passed early in the morning and they answered her quickly, we were able to bring Joji in couple of hours later. We were a sobbing mess but the process was well explained and I felt like my baby was truly in good hands. This experience definitely help ease the pain my family and I are living through.
Leslie Bolante
We lost our beloved cat early in the morning. I was able to call and talk to Stephen about bringing Albie in to be cremated that night. He welcomed us with open arms and was so kind and understanding. He was so professional. He let us take our time to pick out the perfect urn for my precious Albie and listen to our stories about him. I definitely recommend going here for your fur baby needs. Thank you Stephen for taking such good care of my Albie.
Illa Congdon
This is the only place I will ever go to when any of my pets unfortunately pass away. I have been here twice already with 2 hamsters. My beloved hamsters Hamilton and Celeste. The prices are affordable and fair. The compassion, love, and care they show makes the grieving process easier. I also love the flexible hours of operation and how someone is always available to assist.
FM
They made the unbearable bearable. They honored my son/baby/first dog ever in the most beautiful way. From the first initial meeting to picking up my baby’s ashes the next day. Even saving some of his hair as I requested and surprising me with a gift with his nickname. I would/will recommend this company to everyone I know. You won’t be disappointed. Stephen and Jessica are amazing and very compassionate people.
Doug Sosa
I live in Orange Park so it was a lil bit of a drive for me but well worth it to leave our precious Cooper in their hands to take care of. We love his urn and our memory of him through his memorial keepsakes that were provided for us to choose from. Thanks for making the process quick, but with compassionate care.

I highly recommend using Stephen and his team at Compassionate Care Pet Cremation when your fur baby leaves this world. These folks are compassionate and caring and do an excellent job with your pet's remains. Trust me. I just lost my kitty, Charlie. Thank you Stephen!

I am really thankful I found this on Google. I’ve searched and read the reviews. Thank you Compassionate Care, and to Stephen who handled my dog Yuki very well. Stephen gave me time to spend my last goodbye to my dog. Im really thankful and really appreciate it a lot. I love the urn and the picture of my dog. I highly recommend this place. Thank you so much Compassionate Care!

Diana R
Really grateful for Stephen's compassion and empathy during such a difficult time for me and my husband. He was very respectful and helpful, even though we did not bring my fur baby, Angel, there for cremation. We wanted memorial art and necklaces made with her cremains.Thank you Stephen!

Lisa Oldham
We appreciated very much the service and care from Compassionate Care. They were able to help us through a process we weren’t prepared for because our loss was sudden and unexpected. But they made our experience the best it could possibly be with the great care and compassion they show to pets and their families.
Gary Trupo
Compassionate Care Pet Cremation is wonderful. We were broken hearted over the loss of our Mac and were fortunate enough to find them. They came to our home and picked up our guy. They showed so much kindness and respect to Mac and to us. Stephen could not have been more professional or kind. We highly recommend them ❤️

Stephen was a godsend. I was out of town when my fur baby passed away on a Sunday. I was at a loss as to what to do. I called Compassionate Care and Stephen came to my home, picked up my fur baby and reassured me that he would take good care of her. When I returned home, I went to the business and Stephen had done as he promised. My girls ashes were in a beautiful box, and I was also provided with her paw print, a lock of hair, a poem and a pressed heart with wildflower seeds. Thank you again Stephen for making my loss more bearable. ❤️

Lost our pet cat Mecca and got nothing but compassion and respect from this establishment. They went above and beyond making sure that we were able to give our Mecca a proper send home. Thank you

I am leaving this a 4 star review despite all of the things below, as we received what we paid for in a timely manner, as well as got a tuft of our pet's fur which I did not expect and greatly appreciated.We came here on Tuesday after our elderly cat passed away. The man on the phone, who I assume was the owner, was very kind and compassionate. My father and I brought our cat in and were greeted by two young ladies who did not quite look professional as you would expect in this business (t-shirts and jean shorts), but the comforting environment of the place made us overlook it. We were told our urn and paw print cast would be ready that Friday and that we would receive a phone call when everything was ready.I did not receive the receipt I was told would be sent to me via text or email, so when 3pm Friday came along we became worried as we had not heard anything from them. I gave them a call and the man knew exactly the cat I was referring to by name, and seemed shocked that I hadn't received a phone call by now, as he was positive she was ready. He said he was not there right now and asked when I would like to pick her up, to which I replied "well what time are you going to be there?" 5pm. My father and I show up a few minutes before 5pm and see a truck sitting in the parking lot and a man walks out with two small children. We assumed it was the owner, but the man leaving his truck also assumed we were the owners. We waited outside in the heat discussing how we thought it was a bit rude to be late to something like this when emotions are so high after just losing a loved one. The other customer said he did not receive a phone call either, despite them telling him they "definitely called". The other customer called the company number to tell them he was there waiting.A truck pulls in a few minutes later and the two young ladies we dealt with before got out in the same unprofessional clothing, apologizing for being late. We walked inside and it felt hotter inside than it was outside in the Florida heat. Personally, as someone who is mourning a lost loved one, I would expect a more comfortable environment when returning for their ashes. On the counter sat about 7 bags containing the urns and paw print casts of our pets. This lead me to assume (just assume) that no one got their calls about their urns being ready, as it was already so late in the day. It is saddening to think of people sitting at home mourning their loved one's passing while their ashes sit on the counter of a dark, sweltering room. Had we not called, that would have been us, too. I told the young lady that I did not receive a receipt from our previous visit and she got out her phone to text me again, and immediately turned her attention to the other customer who did not receive his paw print cast. She went into the back and asked "where is (name of pet's) paw print?" to someone, I assume on the phone. We did not appreciate being addressed and immediately left to address another customer's problem (though I do acknowledge that a missing print cast is more important than a receipt). We told the other young girl to tell her to please email us the receipt when she is done, as it was just too hot and emotions were too high to stay any longer. We still have not received our receipt.I am not writing this review with ill intent, as I am very happy my pet is home with us now, and that is all that matters. My hope is that the owner will read this and take into consideration the lack of professionalism by his young staff and make a few changes, as we have 5 other beautiful cats at home and would love to be able to come back to this establishment again when the time comes in the future.Edit: The owner emailed me shortly after my review was posted and was very understanding of our experience, and explained why he was unable to be there. A $50 credit was added to our account which is very appreciated. I will be revisiting this business in the future. Thank you so much for being as compassionate and caring to me via email as your previous reviews imply you are.

My mom's dog passed away suddenly this afternoon. I called to see if they would accept pets from home and not a vet's office because we didn't make it in time. They were very compassionate and helpful. They understand that pets are family. I felt they really took care of him and he's in great hands. I highly recommend.
Elizabeth Bennett Hernandez
I was out of town 7 hours away, my spouse was with our baby until I could get there. He said he was preparing and looking for a place that would take care of her. I refused to call because I just kept telling myself she would make it! I got the call she wasn’t going to make it much longer. So I called and Stephen was so concerned about our family and our sweet baby! I told him I didn’t want to call, he understood tried to calm me down. 20 mins after I got to her we lost our beautiful baby girl. He offered to come get her but we decided to take the last ride with her. When I tell you Stephen made me feel like he cared so very much! He never rushed me to leave her. He let me sit there with her as long as I needed. He brought a little bed out to put her on and we were able to tuck her in and give her all the love before we left. She looked like she was sleeping. He went above and beyond! Our baby was treated with love and care! He treated us like we were more than customers! I can never say thank you enough! I recommend using them! Thank you so very much for your serious compassion and love you gave our big mama.

Recently one of my family’s beloved dogs passed away. I looked for a local pet crematory and came across compassionate care pet cremation. It was early Sunday morning when I called and was greeted by a friendly voice who expressed kindness and sympathy for my loss. They were prompt, offering to pick up my dog or meet at their location within a few hours. I arrived at the location; a very calm and welcoming environment where they placed my dog on a pillow with flowers and allowed me to spend some last moments with her. The process was quick as I was told I could pick up her remains the days after. I highly recommend Compassionate pet care cremation and will be returning; not only do they provide cremation survices for you pet but also the care and consideration a family needs when they are grieving. Thank you for everything.
mary j
These gentlemen came and treated me and my big dog with so much respect. Stephen put me at ease and the respect for my dog was amazing. He did not pressure me into things and found me a beautiful box for my beloved dog. He also made a lovely clay paw print for me and the necklace I ordered is beautiful. I wish to thank him and his partner for making the process easy and comfortable.Thank you gentlemen for the respect and compassion and for helping me through this tough time.💖
Tony Ortiz
When you have a pet they become your family member. Your child. One of the hardest things and times of your family’s life is to make a decision to do after your baby pet passes away is what’s next. What do we do. This amazing family practice answered my crying call late at night after 10 to bring peace to me and my family. They not only honored and gave respect to our sandy but gave us closure and peace of mind. In less than 24 this staff have sadly the final blessing to go to doggy heaven. Thank you for what you guys do.
Krista Harper
Incredibly grateful for Stephen's professionalism and compassion during such a difficult week for our family. I called Stephen the morning after we had to unexpectedly put down our beloved senior dog, and he picked our dog up from the vet that morning. When I came in to the office to complete paperwork, he had prepared our dog's body for me to visit with in a very beautiful, caring way. I wasn't expecting to see his body again, but it was so healing to see him again after the trauma of leaving his body at the vet the night before. When it was time to pick our dog's cremation remains up, Stephen went out of his way to drop our dog off at our home at 8pm. Extremely grateful for his thoughtfulness during such a hard time.
Natasha Cardona
We sadly lost Bonita on March 06, 2021 and Pet Care Cremation was able to cremate her body and give us her ashes back and get a final paw print. Sadly my little brothers broke the paw print but they had a mold and were able to recreate it for me <3. More recently we lost our guinea pig Milo and we were able to call them and they also were able to cremate Milo’s remains and give us the ashes. They do it with so much care and love <3 and the message they include on the bag has you crying every time you read it but gives you hopes of reconnecting with your family pet in the rainbow bridge. Honestly deserve more than 5 stars. Thank you from all of our family.
Alan Anderson
After suddenly loosing my Yellow lab we made the decision to contact Compassionate Care for the cremation and care for my dog. They made arrangements to pick him up and handle everything. The commutation was above and beyond with calls and text updating me throughout the process. They are very professional and sympathetic at this difficult time. If I could give them 10 stars I would they met and exceeded all my expectations. Drake was always given the best in his 12yrs of life with me and that continued with the care and handling of him from Compassionate Care! I highly recommend!
Lori Geiger
I had our family dog Krystal and recently our family cat Leo cremated here. Russell even drove out to the vet office to pick up our dog. They are the kindest people and the greatest customer service. They handled every aspect of our pets passing with the warmest of care. Today sadly we had to make the trip there to deliver another of our family pets. As always wonderful service. Thank you again Russell and Rusty.
Adrienne Riley
The gentleman who helped us was very kind. There was a very sweet cat who came to console us. They brought our baby out on a pillow with a blanket so we could say goodbye. It was a lovely gesture.
Shannon Brown
Out of all the places I called the folks here were the most helpful, knowledgeable and compassionate!!! Rusty was an absolute sweetheart and they worked with me to come up with a solution to take care of my cat, my fur baby who had been with me for 20 years. As well but unfortunately my father passed away a week after my cat and I was able to go through affordable cremation solutions (which they own and run too) so they can help you with all you need from your fur babies to your human family members. I was so relieved and I promise you, you will not be disappointed with their service!! absolutely wonderful people! thank you so so much, you made this so much easier and I so appreciate all you’ve done to help us
Kaylin Seang
We recently lost our doggo Smokey this past Sunday morning. It was one of the hardest things our family has gone through. I appreciate all of the little details they did to make this moment just a bit more comfortable us. Smokey was ready for pick up the very next day to take home. The owner was sympathetic and kind. Thank you for taking care of our Smokey at the very end.
Michael McMillan
Compassionate perfectly describes the service we received for our baby boy when he passed. It would be great if no one ever required these services, but when you need them you can come here knowing you and your pet will be be treated right.
Sprite The queen
We lost our fur baby, Turbo, unexpectedly last Wednesday and we decided we were going to cremate so I began looking at different services and came across Compassionate Care. I called and was immediately put at ease by their kindness and understanding. When we arrived, Russell was so sweet and helpful, you could tell he really cared. We were reunited with our Turbo yesterday, 6/23 and again, Russell was such a sweetheart. We truly appreciate and recommend Compassionate Care during such a difficult time. Another thing, I was surprised how affordable it was. Thank you Compassionate Care ❤️
Trevor Padgett
Stephen is absolutely amazing. The go to if you want someone who truly cares!!!
Heather T
So thankful for Compassionate Care. Our 13 year old golden doodle passed away Sunday morning. We called Compassionate care and they accommodated our needs. We brought our sweet boy right over and Stephen was there waiting for us. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the service they provide.
scott brewer
With all my heart and soul I recommend this place to anyone and everyone dealing with the loss of a little loved one. My little man passed away suddenly this past Saturday evening and I couldn't find anyone to help me with him, but this man went out of his way to help me and my wife. He meet me at the crematory that evening and had my best friend back to us Sunday early afternoon. God bless this man, he and his establishment are truly a blessing. Please do right by your loved one and come here for he truly does care and treats them all like true family members.
Elizabeth Ginsburg
Rarely in this life, do we find people who genuinely have a spiritual love for others as well as for their Fur babies or other pets that have touched their lives and hearts. This is one of those times when I can honestly say. Compassionate pet cremation and it's owner. Stephen are absoliterally the most beautiful speaker, spiritual compassionate. Caring people people. I have encountered in many years and I am grateful. That are paths crossed at a time when my heart was shattered and you reassured me I was gonna be OK. Thank you so very much. There are not enough stars in the sky. Much less on this review Say how highly I recommend this facility to anyone who wants to be sure. Their babies are safely taken care of.💕
Ziona Banks
Very caring, compassionate, understanding. The process was quick. He came out and picked up our beloved pet with care and even returned her to us. He didn't have to do that, but he did because he is such a caring person. Everything was done so nicely. These will be cherished. 10 out of 10 recommend.
Shamus Stevens
We came here with our girl cat Zelda. It was incredibly sad that she passed away but Stephen was there for us when we needed him the most. He let us say our goodbyes and held on to her till we came to bring her home. He went above and beyond for our family and I will always be grateful. If you have a furry family member who has passed and want to lay the to rest and keep them forever, I recommend coming here to Compassionate Care Pet Cremation. Thank you again Stephen for helping our family have peace!!
xena padron
Wonderful and understanding. I called to come in after my darling ball python passed late 9pm, and they received me with open arms. Very sweet packaging with my son safely kept. Definitely eased my grief.
Angela Williams
Compassionate Care Pet Cremation answered our call at about 6am. Our family pet had just passed away and they were our first call. They were so kind and accommodating. Every ask that we had- they accommodated from an immediate drop off, to a contactless process. Our Ivy was in good hands and regarded with love and care. We are so thankful. If you elect to cremate your beloved pet- Compassionate Care Pet Cremation is your best choice.
Todd Lankford
Steve was absolutely wonderful. He and I met under different circumstances but when it came time to handle our beloved Max he took care of everything with the utmost care and professionalism. I don’t hesitate to recommend him and his staff for the final arrangements of your pet.
Mary Davis
I can't think of a better place to handle the losses we've sustained. They are comforting and compassionate without being fake. They are kind, affordable, and very understanding when you lose your loved ones unexpectedly and aren't prepared for the loss or cost. I highly recommend them!RIP Rex and Max
Joe Anderson
I appreciate you for being there at such a heartbreaking time. Professional but personable, understanding and very kind to my wife and I…but especially our children.Was hard to leave him but knew he was in respectful and caring hands. All my family and I can say is a simple and heartfelt thank you.
Michael Davis
Our 9 year old best friend left me and my son abruptly. My English bulldog, Behr, was certainly a bully for those he loved. A gentle giant, and a greedy Georgia dawg.I called around, and Compassionate care were the only ones who asked what his name was. I was on my way to another location, with an appointment and everything, but then I received a text stating they’d be back in 15 minutes. I’m glad I made that choice. When I walked in, they remembered his name was even spelled differently. They go, “Like the paint?”…… Exactly! I’m a Falcon Fan, and the owner founded Home Depot. It’s the simple things that touch your soul. I appreciated it and I know Behr would’ve appreciated it.
Sara Barket (Zedler815)
Stephen and Russell, thank you so much for your kindness. Some people think that if the animal is not a cat or dog, the animal isn't special enough for...idk! A proper send off?...but I decided to cremate my boy and I miss him so terribly and Stephen and Russell were very kind and sensitive to my situation. I highly appreciate their services. 100% recommend.RIP, Smaug. You are forever loved, my friend. 💚
The Godcracker
The people there are great and go the extra mile and listen! Cheeto was easy to wake up and say hello to every morning and saying goodbye was one of the hardest. Thank you 🙏
Lana Duniho
It was a blessing to contact Steven at compassionate care pet cremation. He made a very sad and difficult time so much easier. He came and picked up our beloved pet within an hour of my call and encouraged and helped me with final decisions. I would recommend them to everyone for their pet memorials.
christopher arnold
If you’re looking for somewhere to take your beloved animal, I definitely recommend going to this very calming and welcoming place. I took my boy Blue to them and it was a very good experience honestly. Made everything easier on my soul and took time to be compassionate. Definitely 5 star service.
Angie Logan
I cannot put into words how touched I am by Stephen and his care and compassion for individuals suffering a loss. He turned a difficult process into something swift and painless. He took my fur baby in and had her ready to come back home with me the very next day. I highly recommend this place to anyone finding yourself in need of these kinds of services for your fur babies.
Sheena-Sade Watson
I am currently stationed in Japan and left my furbaby Oreo with my parents before I departed 31 December 2023. Sadly she passed away January 20th peacefully with my parents, petting and loving her before she took her last breath. It was sudden and so hurtful for the family. My father called Compassionate Care Pet Cremation and they came immediately to show comfort to my family during this hard time. He spoke to me personally on facetime and was so kind and understanding. From the beginning he showed so much compassion and love over Oreo. He made a promise to care for her and bring her home by Tuesday. He was true to his promise and Oreo is home to the family. Her beautiful big pink paw prints, her wooden urn with her ashes, certificate, a letter and fur meant so much to our family. It hurt to lose her and Compassionate Care Pet Cremation made it easier for us to grieve over Oreo. Thank you for being their for my family and my furbaby while I am overseas. God Bless you all at Compassionate Care Pet Cremation.
Dion Kennedy
We lost our dog Jessie on Sunday morning and they were able to come pick her up that afternoon. Stephen and Jennifer were both very compassionate and respectful to us. They had her ashes back to us the next day.
Aaron DeCicco
What a wonderful bright spot in what has otherwise been a very sad time. Leia was with me for almost 16 years and was my first baby—I know many of you can relate to the pain associated with losing a 4-legged best friend. Stephen greeted and treated us with the utmost compassion and love. He prepared her for us in such a sweet way and allowed us to spend some final moments with her worldly body. I’m going to miss her more than I could ever express, but because of the care CCPC showed me, I still get to keep her with me. Thank you!
Julie J
We recently lost our baby boy CASPIAN, it was a very traumatic experience for the whole family. We need it to find a place were they would treat him with respect and care. So we found Compassionate Care Pet Cremation. They were wonderful, compassionate. They went out of their way to send us a sympathy card in the mail. We would definitely recommended them to anyone who has lost their precious pet companion. Thank you Compassionate Care.
Mai Zoë
The owners here are exponentially kind, me and my family lost our cat suddenly this past week. She has been with us for over 14 years and we miss her greatly. We got her an urn, paw print and they gave us some of her fur along with flower seeds that we could plant to remember her by. They treated our kitty well and we are happy to have something to forever cherish her with.
Adam Palmer
Stephen is the best. Truly cares and knows how to ease the stress in hard times. From start to finish he goes above & beyond!!
Dr. Stacy Barczak Baker
I cannot express enough gratitude for how amazing Stephen was to Ivan and our family in this challenging time of having to guide him into his transition out of this physical world. Stephen was such a light in this process and made things as easy yet still so intentional and caring along the way! Everything to answer our calls, answering our questions, and doing anything he could to make this process as seamless as possible was so appreciated and while we don't want to have to be faced with these hardships in the future, should we have to go through it again - we would certainly have Stephen be a part of our team once again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much for your caring heart!
Jessica
I'm deeply grateful for the incredible experience I've had here. Stephen was truly exceptional, a real blessing. His compassion and empathy made me feel so comforted, especially during a difficult time. I was overwhelmed with sadness and fear, but he made the process much easier to bear. I'm truly amazed by the level of support this place provides for those grieving the loss of a beloved friend. There's nowhere else like it, and I'm in awe of its compassion and empathy. Again words cannot describe how grateful I am to have found this place. Please go there I promise you will feel so much at ease knowing your beloved will be in good hands.Thank you so much Stephen!
Hydra Martin
The night our dog died was very traumatic for us, and his unexpected passing left us scrambling, teary eyed, for options on cremations. Thankfully Compassionate Care Pet Cremation answered on the second ring and came to pick up his body within the hour. The process was sombering but very quick and efficient and the staff was very friendly and understanding to the situation. Highly recommended if you too are unfortunate enough to lose a beloved pet.
Misty Occi
I, unfortunately, lost my dog last week. I had no clue what to do with him and calling a few vets didn't seem to make my decision any easier. I happened to come upon an ad for Compassionate Care and called them, and I am so glad I did. Stephen, the owner, answered and he was incredibly kind and helpful. He explained the different options available and answered every question I had. He met me at the office and let me say goodbye to my baby one last time. Stephen then delivered my sweet babies remains to me at home. You can tell how much love and compassion he puts into his work. It shows in every little detail from start to finish. If you have the unfortunate need for pet cremation, please give Stephen a call.
Lizeth Ustariz
Mr Stephen deserves all the stars, he made this terrible process a little more bearable. He was very kind, compassionate, respectful and accesible. Most of all he handle my baby like he was his own, for that I’m forever grateful. I recommend this place 100%.
FM
They made the unbearable bearable. They honored my son/baby/first dog ever in the most beautiful way. From the first initial meeting to picking up my baby’s ashes the next day. Even saving some of his hair as I requested and surprising me with a gift with his nickname. I would/will recommend this company to everyone I know. You won’t be disappointed. Stephen and Jessica are amazing and very compassionate people.
Doug Sosa
I live in Orange Park so it was a lil bit of a drive for me but well worth it to leave our precious Cooper in their hands to take care of. We love his urn and our memory of him through his memorial keepsakes that were provided for us to choose from. Thanks for making the process quick, but with compassionate care.
Debbie Lee-Clark
I highly recommend using Stephen and his team at Compassionate Care Pet Cremation when your fur baby leaves this world. These folks are compassionate and caring and do an excellent job with your pet's remains. Trust me. I just lost my kitty, Charlie. Thank you Stephen!
Jephtah
I am really thankful I found this on Google. I’ve searched and read the reviews. Thank you Compassionate Care, and to Stephen who handled my dog Yuki very well. Stephen gave me time to spend my last goodbye to my dog. Im really thankful and really appreciate it a lot. I love the urn and the picture of my dog. I highly recommend this place. Thank you so much Compassionate Care!
