You guys are outstanding! Thank you for caring for my Letty Girl and creating such beautiful moment in this grieving, painful time.

We were devastated by the very sudden loss of our Yorkie puppy. We took her to a (horrible) vet ER that was the closest to us in the middle of the night and she died. The ER pretty much rushed us through cremation paperwork without any details. I was in shock and grief, so when I came to my senses I called the ER the next day to get cremation info and the lady rudely told me to call Fosterās. It was almost 6:00 pm and I figured I would be leaving a voicemail, but surprisingly a sweet Fosterās employee named Haley answered the phone. She took her time advising me of the process and added in paw prints to the cremation orderā¦.the ER had NOT done that or given us the option. Haley was so kind and didnāt rush me off the phone even though she probably wanted to go home. We picked up her remains yesterday and I was blown away by the thoughtfulness of all the different items included. Fosterās helped ease our grief with the care they gave our girl and the kindness they showed me when I called. Thank you ā¤ļø

We lost our beloved Cheech four days ago, being new to the area was unsure where to go and what steps to take, I called Foster's Pet Cremation Services I spoke to Hailey and she was so helpful and so nice and explained what I needed to do. When we arrived Hailey sent Clinton out and he was so nice he talked with us and we shared memories of Cheech with him and expressed his condolences to us. This was a very hard time for us, Cheech would have been 14 this month, our fur baby was gone. Hailey made the arrangements with us and made the process as easy as possible given the circumstances. We brought Cheech 's ashes home today and they did an absolutely amazing job from his dog house urn to his paw prints and pieces of hair and even gave me a pouch of ashes so I can put them in a necklace. We are beyond grateful for their compassion and love at our trying time . Thank you so very much. Jackie & Bob

Our sweet girl Sky is back home. Forster's cremation did an incredible job w her ashes and gave us some of her fur, paw prints and a beautiful card expressing their condolences. We feel at peace knowing she's back home and her remains was treated with the upmost respect. ā¤ļø

This place is the most amazing, caring pet cremation service I've ever had to use . My Bulldog recently passed after 12 years, I had a private cremation service with Foster's. When Phoenix came home I was amazed at how caring and loving she was cared for, her remains were cared for in a loving manner. I will always remember and cherish how they treated my baby. Thank you.
Kendra Zielinski
We unfortunately lost our beloved cat in an abrupt and traumatic way. Foster's was recommended to us and we couldn't be more grateful. Haley is who helped us and her compassion, kindness and patience during an extremely difficult time helped more than she'll ever know. Not only were we met with kindness, they also had a variety of beautiful options to display to honor our sweet girl of fifteen years. They went above and beyond with our requests and we were grateful and surprised by the collection of beautiful cards with paw prints and Rainbow Bridge poems. When the unfortunate need arises, we highly recommend their services. Thank you again Haley and Foster's.
Wendy Reyes Ruiz
My sweet little Whisky passed away late Easter night. I am thankful for Fosters. I donāt remember her name, but the lady that helped me was very kind and made it as comforting and simple as she possibly could during this difficult time. They had him ready for me to take home within two days.
Joni Economos
So, thankful for these kind people! I didn't use them in person but the Vet ER where I lost my dog uses them for their services and I received things back that I didn't even expect. I got his ashes and the clay pawprint I expected but they sent and beautiful sympathy card with several inked pawprints and even some of his fur that I will cherish forever. Thank you so much for caring for my baby and the little things that mean so much.
Samantha McGowan
Our beloved Shennai passed away in her bed peacefully on March 14th. Fosters handle the cremation for our beloved Lola a year & a half ago. Since they did such a wonderful job with her, we took Shennai there the next morning.Needless to say, taking her in to say goodbye was devastating for me and my husband. Haley greeted us and was very professional, compassionate and sympathetic. Thank you for taking care of our baby at such a sad time. Highly recommend.
Jessica Richards
We sadly lost our beloved dog on Friday. She was 17 and we knew it was gonna happen eventually, but that doesn't make the pain any less. There staff was absolutely amazing and caring. I didn't get the names but the gentleman that helped us get her out of the car was so patient and kind. The younge lady that did all the paperwork made it so easy and quick for us. It was just such a nice and easy process during a very emotional time. We were able to pick her box up today and we were delighted to see they saved some of her hair and put it in a little charm. That was not something I even thought about and am so happy they did. The little touches and keepsakes are gonna last us forever. They really made us feel like they cared as much about her as we did. We know she was just a dog but to us she was our baby and are so thankful for the staff at fosters. I highly recommend this place.
Aquatic Roots (Gem1030)
We sadly hat to put our pet cat down at the emergency vet. He was very old and suffering. Normally we would bury our pets but this particular pet belonged to other family members at one time. We decided to have a private cremation and spread his ashes. We were able to pick out an urn. There were several included in the price. We picked up his remains yesterday and we are absolutely surprised and touched by everything we received. Urn, ashes, sweet little paw prints, 2 poems , a lock of his fur and another baggie of more fur. Plus a certificate of cremation with his name and date. All so touching and beautiful. Thank you so much fosters we will be forever grateful.
ManyHeartsFarm
Well they just seem to be a disaster area. Inability to follow directions. On the phone they are a disorganized chaos. Couldn't seem to get anything correct on my dog. Took them over 2 over weeks. I don't know if I got my dog or parts of my dog. If they cremated him or a bunch of animals together to save money.They scratched up his urn. Just another example of Americans inability to perform basic tasks such as reading comprehension. Very disappointed.
Kelly Lugo
We got my daughter a kitten when she was 4. She is going to be 16 in a couple of weeks. Her "best friend" passed away suddenly. This was very difficult for the whole family, our fur babies become family. The staff at Foster's were so unbelievably kind and comforting. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I hope they know how I much we appreciate them.
Lisa Ulrich
My kitty passed away and they did a great job and we werenāt expecting a few things they did to make it special for us and we had a few animals cremated at other crematoriums and fosters has done above and beyond than any other. Thank you for making it special for me and my family ā¤ļøā¤ļø
Maria Lafauci-Forte
We lost our sweet little seven-year-old gray, tabby cat, Angelica suddenly, and were devastated, especially my three teenage kids. Foster's took great care of our beautiful baby girl, and gave us some comfort during an absolutely awful time for our family. They gave her a beautiful presentation, and helped us feel a little peace during a time of shock, and grief. We will always be grateful to them, and I strongly recommend them to anyone who just suffered the loss of their furbaby.
The Steveo
Ironically despite the review I wish I could say I'll never, ever use them again!This would purely be due to the devastating circumstances of having to use their services.The service provided here was incredible and very professional. It felt very personal for us, and the whole cremation and beautiful paw prints they gave us and hair clippings, I cannot express how well they made such a horrific experience.Thank you.
Coreena C
This place is absolutely amazing. During a hard time, they took care of me and definitely made me feel better about the situation. Stewie is now home with me, and I'm happy that I had this place take care of him. I'm not sure about the lady's name that was up front who helped me, but she was so thoughtful and just amazing all around that I would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you so much for everything.

My vet uses Foster's and I was very pleased with all they did. Even giving me some fur from my baby. But one thing they did was above and beyond and touched me deeply was the card with poem....in the top right corner was a plastic little heart that they took the time to put a few pieces of his hair in. Thank you so much š
Erica Pickard
I had to help my beloved guinea pig over the rainbow bridge. I am very happy with the services I received for her private cremation. My Spotty Cakes is back home with me.
Anna Bell
My vet uses this place so I let them take care of arrangements. I am extremely unhappy and horrified. I paid Foster's over $300 for a private cremation service, an urn with an engraved plaque on it, and paw prints of my cat that passed.My friend has paw prints of her cat from a different crematorium (one that Banfield uses)and they are perfect. That's not what I got from Foster's. I included a picture to show . My cats paw prints are sloppy, uneven, and a total mess. How could you look at these prints and even deem them acceptable to give to a grieving owner?? I was completely devastated when I saw them. Were they too cheap to get another piece of plaster and use his other paw Or did they just not care? They donāt even look like paw prints. This is how you treat him???? This is how Iām supposed to remember him?Also, the plaque on the urn is crooked and not straight.For the price, and the principal, I would not expect such a sloppy work.I won't use them again
Danielle P
My Vet in Wildwood sent my fur baby to you. My sweet boy was a 17 year old cat. Although this whole thing has been absolutely heart breaking. You sent a sweet letter with him back to me. Thank you for taking care of it for me!
Sharon L. Wilson
I have had two pets handled by Foster's and both experiences were warm and compassionate! I have dealt with these folks for over 30 years and find them to be very caring as well as professional. I had to pick up my precious little friend's cremains today and they were extremely compassionate with me. I will use them whenever I lose a furbaby and want their death treated with the respect I would expect for any lost loved one! I think thr Fosters do a fabulous job in a very delicate industry. I would recommend them to anyone!
Walter Threadgill
I recommend Foster Pet Cremation they are very good. We had one dog cremated by them and just this last September 14 2020 we had to have our little poodle put to sleep. foster did another wonderful job and weāre very courteous we got the birth date wrong and they changed it with no problem. They are the most polite people and they will be doing our cat when he passes. My wife and I want to with them a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Mary Reis
Had many cats and dogs cremated there. Some were sent by the vet, we took some up and just today one of my cats was picked up and then the ashes will be returned to me. This is the third time that they picked up a pet for cremation. They are very caring about what they do. I would highly recommend them
Sandra Croan
I received Mia's ashes today. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and the beautiful cards you included along with a lock of her fur and her paw print. I wish she was still here with me, but I will have her beautiful white urn (like her) to remind me of her.
Cheryl Goodfellow
I have had my last four fur babies cremated by Fosters. Weston my recent dog passed away May 21st. I picked Weston up last evening from West Hernando Emergency Vet. Fosters went above and beyond this time. Paw Print and a piece of his hair wrapped in a heart. Thank you Fosters, you helped make this difficult situation better. Much appreciated. ā¤

Victoria Griswold
Our family lost our little dog, Louie. I picked up his ashes from my vet in Largo. So, essentially I had no idea where Louie would be taken. I got in my car in the parking lot, opened a personalized card for my family from Foster's...and cannot explain the comfort I felt knowing he was taken care. I was reassured by their special message. We are thankful. ā¤

I needed time to compose myself before writing this review. I lost my wonderful family member of 12 1/2 years in April and opted for cremation as we had for our other two dogs.Fosterās did deliver our pet back to the Vet in a very quick time and that was appreciated! You feel a bit better knowing that your beloved pet is back with you and quickly.What I was disturbed about, he came back in a Ziploc baggie. Yes, a Ziploc. Our other two pets were in heavy duty plastic that was sealed securely. Part of the top of the Ziploc wasn't closed (there are two "zips" and it was part of the top one) all the way. There is no metal tag so I donāt know if this is truly our dog. We paid for private cremation and will have to assume they did so.They need a much better selection of urns. Our other two, cremated by another crematorium, they came back in beautiful cherry wood boxes with nice brass closures. While we did get to choose the urn, none were very nice. They were pretty much the same style but different colors and no dark wood. We were shown a paper with the urns and asked to choose. My husband and I looked at each other and both said that we liked none of them. I suppose we could have opted for none but we were heartbroken and trying to focus on our dog at the time.Imagine my surprise when I opened the urn to find it broken as well. I paid more to cremate my 40 lb. dog than I did for my 75 lb. dog and they returned him in a broken urn. There is no external damage to the urn, it wasnāt dropped, it was broken when it was put together and they just sent my dog home in it.I couldnāt stand for my loyal friend to be in that awful and broken urn so I ordered a beautiful one from another company.
Tamara Aunapu
If I could give them a zero, I would. I attempted to contact Fosters when our cat was first diagnosed with cancer knowing I would need to make arrangements. I attempted to email and call several times. My emails or calls were never returned. I also do not believe that they can assure that only my pets remains would be returned to me, knowing how cremation is done. However, the bright side was I investigated my options and chose another route of after care for my cat. We opted for aquamation vs cremation. The service there, at Nature's Pet Loss, was amazing. I wish vets would give pet owners facing a loss all of their options.
angel purk (Angelessance)
I was extremely satisfied with the care and respect these people took with my beloved fur baby! I had my cat for 9 plus yrs and it broke my heart to have to let her go. Fosters went above and beyond in my opinion to sympathize with my loss. They include a beautiful certificate of cremation memorializing your pet. THANK YOU FOSTERS FOR ALL YOU DO FOR OUR FURRY FAMILY MEMBERS!
Laura Gregory
First encountered this place, as my vet used them. When I needed their services again when my beloved pet passed at home, I brought her personally. Such caring and compassion! I have since returned to find the same warmth and caring. Very professional with beautiful, lasting memories. I drive over an hour to this location, I trust them with each of my precious babies.
John Dalton
Our beloved Peanut passed last Wednesday 12/1/21 we had a wonderful 15 years together and I donāt believe I will ever be able to fill the void that I have now. I was unfortunately at work when this happened and my wife was home when Peanut passed. Iām sure I donāt have to tell you my poor wife was just beside her self on what to do and totally and understanding upset crying just a wreck. So she called me and told me the terrible news and asking what are we going to do. Well only one thing came to mind call Fosters pet cremation. And when she called and spoke to Haley itās as if such a load had been lifted. Wife explained what had just happened and with it being Wednesday not all the funds would be at the bank until Friday. Again Haley saved the day and explained that we could pay a deposit today and the remaining amount when we returned to take Peanut home. Such good people there thanks again for everythingJohn Dalton
Shawn McCarthy
Very professional, didn't pressure you into anything expensive. Highly recommended.
Terri Escobar
They are so wonderful! During our time of loss and sorrow, they carefully and thoughtfully provided wonderful keepsakes of our precious little boy. Every day I feel the little paw prints and remember feeling my little Papiās paws. The plaster prints are in a heart shape with his name and placed in a pretty transparent blue gift pouch. Also, a very thoughtful and sincere card was included along with his ashes in a simple little pearl white container. I canāt thank Fosterās enough for keeping Papiās memory alive for me.Very sincerely, Terri Escobar
Elizabeth Rouse
these people were the most caring and understanding place i have ever met in fact they are better than most human places i have been to. the gentleman that handled my angel listen and was interested in her life. he handled her with the upmost respect and dignity and i will let everyone pet owner know that this is the place to take yopur baby to when that day come. they are very reasonably price and helped with the separation that any pet owner would feel. I was truly blessed when I found them and will be back in the far future to bring my next baby to them. i do want to thank all of you for the are you took for my angel and i am sure she appreciated it also.

Lost my Zoey on July 19 after 11years. Foster's took care of my baby, as they did last year for Zoey's brother. The certificate of cremation and story about the Rainbow Bridge warmed my heart. Thank you for taking care of Zoey and returning her with grace.
Jim Nardozzi
Our companion, Prettygirl, for nearly 15 years passed. I would like to extend our appreciation to the folks at Fosters making this sad experience bearable. Their prompt replies, service and compassion did not go unnoticed. Thank you.
Bill Risk
Fosters took care of the cremation for our little Gizmo and I must say it was such a caring and empathetic gesture. We are so pleased with all aspects of this whole experience. Thank you so much!
kathleen dattilo
Nobody wants to loose a pet, itās probably one of the hardest things to deal with. They welcomed me with comfort, and presented every single one of my options, with absolutely nothing but kindness. We all donāt want to loose a loved one , but if that horrible thing happens to you, I HIGHLY recommend going to this establishment. They make the hardest times better, even when your situation sucks. 10/10
Jess Allen
I just wanted to say thank you to Foster's for treating my husband and I with such compassion. We have used them twice now and they took such good care of our babies Tigger and Jasper.
Janine Rizzo
I have had pets cremated before at fosters but natures pet loss gives you time with your pet in a viewing room and done by aquamation which is gentle and priced about the same and you know your getting your own back. My dog and us were treated with dignity, respect and love. Dont think this place cost a fortune the only thing you pay for is aquamation which is close to cremation. Viewing a beautiful wood urn and paw print and hair was included. I would never chose cremation again for my pet or myself.
Stacie zuniga
Foster's is the most trusted pet cremation service I have ever worked with after 20+ years in the Veterinary field. The services offered by this company continually, far surpass our expectations of efficiency, compassion and professionalism.

My cocker spaniel passed away on December 20 the vets office assigned Fosterās . Without my knowledge, our cocker spaniels was a family member I was going to get a plaque with her ashes made when I discovered not only am I devastated that I lost our cocker spaniel I was devastated to see that her remains are in a Ziploc sandwich bag if this is the way this funeral home has treated her remains I wonder how she was treated when she was there. I called the funeral home two weeks ago they have not yet returned my call nor have they justify their uncompassion. You have to wonder how they would treat any family member of yours . If youāre going to have your animal cremated please go to someplace who actually has some compassion instead of sticking your animals remains in a Ziploc sandwich bag they have not made this wrong right yet.

I want to thank Fosters and Kevin for the love and respect they have shown me during my time of grief, they treated my pets with dignity and I can't thank them enough. I highly recommend them in your time of sorrow.

My vet uses Foster's and I was very pleased with all they did. Even giving me some fur from my baby. But one thing they did was above and beyond and touched me deeply was the card with poem....in the top right corner was a plastic little heart that they took the time to put a few pieces of his hair in. Thank you so much š

I had to help my beloved guinea pig over the rainbow bridge. I am very happy with the services I received for her private cremation. My Spotty Cakes is back home with me.

My vet uses this place so I let them take care of arrangements. I am extremely unhappy and horrified. I paid Foster's over $300 for a private cremation service, an urn with an engraved plaque on it, and paw prints of my cat that passed.My friend has paw prints of her cat from a different crematorium (one that Banfield uses)and they are perfect. That's not what I got from Foster's. I included a picture to show . My cats paw prints are sloppy, uneven, and a total mess. How could you look at these prints and even deem them acceptable to give to a grieving owner?? I was completely devastated when I saw them. Were they too cheap to get another piece of plaster and use his other paw Or did they just not care? They donāt even look like paw prints. This is how you treat him???? This is how Iām supposed to remember him?Also, the plaque on the urn is crooked and not straight.For the price, and the principal, I would not expect such a sloppy work.I won't use them again

My Vet in Wildwood sent my fur baby to you. My sweet boy was a 17 year old cat. Although this whole thing has been absolutely heart breaking. You sent a sweet letter with him back to me. Thank you for taking care of it for me!

I have had two pets handled by Foster's and both experiences were warm and compassionate! I have dealt with these folks for over 30 years and find them to be very caring as well as professional. I had to pick up my precious little friend's cremains today and they were extremely compassionate with me. I will use them whenever I lose a furbaby and want their death treated with the respect I would expect for any lost loved one! I think thr Fosters do a fabulous job in a very delicate industry. I would recommend them to anyone!

I recommend Foster Pet Cremation they are very good. We had one dog cremated by them and just this last September 14 2020 we had to have our little poodle put to sleep. foster did another wonderful job and weāre very courteous we got the birth date wrong and they changed it with no problem. They are the most polite people and they will be doing our cat when he passes. My wife and I want to with them a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Mary Reis
Had many cats and dogs cremated there. Some were sent by the vet, we took some up and just today one of my cats was picked up and then the ashes will be returned to me. This is the third time that they picked up a pet for cremation. They are very caring about what they do. I would highly recommend them
Sandra Croan
I received Mia's ashes today. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and the beautiful cards you included along with a lock of her fur and her paw print. I wish she was still here with me, but I will have her beautiful white urn (like her) to remind me of her.
Cheryl Goodfellow
I have had my last four fur babies cremated by Fosters. Weston my recent dog passed away May 21st. I picked Weston up last evening from West Hernando Emergency Vet. Fosters went above and beyond this time. Paw Print and a piece of his hair wrapped in a heart. Thank you Fosters, you helped make this difficult situation better. Much appreciated. ā¤

The absolute kindness and total professionalism of Ryan helped ease the incredible pain and sadness of loosing Chase our 14 year old border collie. Many thanks. Like Chase your service will not be forgotten...

Lost one of our cats over a holiday weekend. They went out of their way to help. Also cremated two of our cats and the vet's office used them. Reasonable prices during an always difficult time.

Fosters pets is amazing they have done all of my four-legged kids for me over the years and I do mean over the years they are loving and caring I would recommend them to anyonešš¼ā¤ļø
Crane Whisperer
If I could give them a ZERO I would. I called on a Thursday morning & NOBODY ever returned my call today is Saturday. REALLY??? How long do they think you could wait to hear back from them How VERY, VERY RUDE can you be when someone needs a return call in a reasonable time. Death is time sensitive I guess they dont know this. I would advise to go elsewhere!!!! Hope they cant stay in business with this kind of customer service!!!! THEY SUCK BOTTOM LINE.......
Tami Schifflin (REALTOR Tami)
Very kind and caring. She helped me with my Beloved little Chloe's ashes and placed them for me in an urn that was just perfect! Thank You
Richard Levens
I was shocked at the cold and insensitive manner with which the daughter and grand daughter of the original Foster's run the place they are rude and very uncaring i could never trust them with my love one natures pet loss are head and sholders above this daughter and grandaughter team the prices are also better and this place rips you off i will never bring another love one there anybody who does may god be with your pet too bad they dont put the same kinda of love into taking care of your love one like they care about shoving cheeseburgers in there face
Jessica Fernandez
These people are amazing that diffrenet vets my family members go to use them. We drove up to them when my little bird, Xia, passed and they were so compassionate.
Racheal Freeman
We highly recommend Fosterās Pet Cremation. They were so kind and helpful during such a difficult time for our family.
Ray Boyd
Our fur baby sat on a shelf for a week and our phone calls were ignored and not returned. We were very unhappy with their customer service
Jeff
Very kind and friendly.
Krista Stapleton
Words cannot express how special this company made this heartbreaking experience. The special touches that were added were unexpected and forever appreciated.
Victoria Griswold
Our family lost our little dog, Louie. I picked up his ashes from my vet in Largo. So, essentially I had no idea where Louie would be taken. I got in my car in the parking lot, opened a personalized card for my family from Foster's...and cannot explain the comfort I felt knowing he was taken care. I was reassured by their special message. We are thankful. ā¤

I needed time to compose myself before writing this review. I lost my wonderful family member of 12 1/2 years in April and opted for cremation as we had for our other two dogs.Fosterās did deliver our pet back to the Vet in a very quick time and that was appreciated! You feel a bit better knowing that your beloved pet is back with you and quickly.What I was disturbed about, he came back in a Ziploc baggie. Yes, a Ziploc. Our other two pets were in heavy duty plastic that was sealed securely. Part of the top of the Ziploc wasn't closed (there are two "zips" and it was part of the top one) all the way. There is no metal tag so I donāt know if this is truly our dog. We paid for private cremation and will have to assume they did so.They need a much better selection of urns. Our other two, cremated by another crematorium, they came back in beautiful cherry wood boxes with nice brass closures. While we did get to choose the urn, none were very nice. They were pretty much the same style but different colors and no dark wood. We were shown a paper with the urns and asked to choose. My husband and I looked at each other and both said that we liked none of them. I suppose we could have opted for none but we were heartbroken and trying to focus on our dog at the time.Imagine my surprise when I opened the urn to find it broken as well. I paid more to cremate my 40 lb. dog than I did for my 75 lb. dog and they returned him in a broken urn. There is no external damage to the urn, it wasnāt dropped, it was broken when it was put together and they just sent my dog home in it.I couldnāt stand for my loyal friend to be in that awful and broken urn so I ordered a beautiful one from another company.

If I could give them a zero, I would. I attempted to contact Fosters when our cat was first diagnosed with cancer knowing I would need to make arrangements. I attempted to email and call several times. My emails or calls were never returned. I also do not believe that they can assure that only my pets remains would be returned to me, knowing how cremation is done. However, the bright side was I investigated my options and chose another route of after care for my cat. We opted for aquamation vs cremation. The service there, at Nature's Pet Loss, was amazing. I wish vets would give pet owners facing a loss all of their options.

I was extremely satisfied with the care and respect these people took with my beloved fur baby! I had my cat for 9 plus yrs and it broke my heart to have to let her go. Fosters went above and beyond in my opinion to sympathize with my loss. They include a beautiful certificate of cremation memorializing your pet. THANK YOU FOSTERS FOR ALL YOU DO FOR OUR FURRY FAMILY MEMBERS!
Laura Gregory
First encountered this place, as my vet used them. When I needed their services again when my beloved pet passed at home, I brought her personally. Such caring and compassion! I have since returned to find the same warmth and caring. Very professional with beautiful, lasting memories. I drive over an hour to this location, I trust them with each of my precious babies.
John Dalton
Our beloved Peanut passed last Wednesday 12/1/21 we had a wonderful 15 years together and I donāt believe I will ever be able to fill the void that I have now. I was unfortunately at work when this happened and my wife was home when Peanut passed. Iām sure I donāt have to tell you my poor wife was just beside her self on what to do and totally and understanding upset crying just a wreck. So she called me and told me the terrible news and asking what are we going to do. Well only one thing came to mind call Fosters pet cremation. And when she called and spoke to Haley itās as if such a load had been lifted. Wife explained what had just happened and with it being Wednesday not all the funds would be at the bank until Friday. Again Haley saved the day and explained that we could pay a deposit today and the remaining amount when we returned to take Peanut home. Such good people there thanks again for everythingJohn Dalton
Shawn McCarthy
Very professional, didn't pressure you into anything expensive. Highly recommended.
Terri Escobar
They are so wonderful! During our time of loss and sorrow, they carefully and thoughtfully provided wonderful keepsakes of our precious little boy. Every day I feel the little paw prints and remember feeling my little Papiās paws. The plaster prints are in a heart shape with his name and placed in a pretty transparent blue gift pouch. Also, a very thoughtful and sincere card was included along with his ashes in a simple little pearl white container. I canāt thank Fosterās enough for keeping Papiās memory alive for me.Very sincerely, Terri Escobar
Elizabeth Rouse
these people were the most caring and understanding place i have ever met in fact they are better than most human places i have been to. the gentleman that handled my angel listen and was interested in her life. he handled her with the upmost respect and dignity and i will let everyone pet owner know that this is the place to take yopur baby to when that day come. they are very reasonably price and helped with the separation that any pet owner would feel. I was truly blessed when I found them and will be back in the far future to bring my next baby to them. i do want to thank all of you for the are you took for my angel and i am sure she appreciated it also.
Jeff
Very kind and friendly.

Lost my Zoey on July 19 after 11years. Foster's took care of my baby, as they did last year for Zoey's brother. The certificate of cremation and story about the Rainbow Bridge warmed my heart. Thank you for taking care of Zoey and returning her with grace.
Jim Nardozzi
Our companion, Prettygirl, for nearly 15 years passed. I would like to extend our appreciation to the folks at Fosters making this sad experience bearable. Their prompt replies, service and compassion did not go unnoticed. Thank you.
Bill Risk
Fosters took care of the cremation for our little Gizmo and I must say it was such a caring and empathetic gesture. We are so pleased with all aspects of this whole experience. Thank you so much!
kathleen dattilo
Nobody wants to loose a pet, itās probably one of the hardest things to deal with. They welcomed me with comfort, and presented every single one of my options, with absolutely nothing but kindness. We all donāt want to loose a loved one , but if that horrible thing happens to you, I HIGHLY recommend going to this establishment. They make the hardest times better, even when your situation sucks. 10/10
Jess Allen
I just wanted to say thank you to Foster's for treating my husband and I with such compassion. We have used them twice now and they took such good care of our babies Tigger and Jasper.
Janine Rizzo
I have had pets cremated before at fosters but natures pet loss gives you time with your pet in a viewing room and done by aquamation which is gentle and priced about the same and you know your getting your own back. My dog and us were treated with dignity, respect and love. Dont think this place cost a fortune the only thing you pay for is aquamation which is close to cremation. Viewing a beautiful wood urn and paw print and hair was included. I would never chose cremation again for my pet or myself.
Stacie zuniga
Foster's is the most trusted pet cremation service I have ever worked with after 20+ years in the Veterinary field. The services offered by this company continually, far surpass our expectations of efficiency, compassion and professionalism.
