Proof of payment & proof of Burial. I am the Owner of Lucky my dog buried here. Still waiting for Gary to deliver the headstone. Attached in video is Garys previous conversations from 2023 & 2024 which was not fulfilled after taking more than full payment.Will not recommend burying your pet here unless you wish to be in limbo depending on your ethnic background & social status. He does not treat every pet owner equally or provide same service to everybody. 2+ years is a good amount of time to learn about Garys work ethic.

Still waiting for the headstone, when do you think you will keep up with the word? I already paid you extra & it is more than 2 years. Each time I call you, you gave me different answers. I recorded all of your conversations- I will use it to hold you accountable & sent it to the bureau of Businesses. Here is proof of plot number, written by Gary. Took money for Burial $950 + I tipped you extra $200 total $1150 in cash. Another customer said he had upcharged me cause they only paid $525?? He is selective about whom he charges and how much. Afterwards, he asked me for more another time, I paid $325 check for the Headstone which you cashed in 2022, I have proof receipt it was for your pet cemetery. I also came in with my parents elderly 70s, they are utterly sad with the treatment of your service for our beloved dog with no respect to place a headstone after money paid.We will never forget or let loose of your poor service Gary. This is Adam. Yes I am here to tell you, this unjust of not providing service according to the law & discrimination to paying customers.You can listen to Gary’s voice recorded in this videos promising for the past 2+ years about undelivered work.

Today is March 12, 2024. It is coming up 2 years since I buried my family member here & no proper headstone was given. Gary, I will remind you until you do the work. I paid you full & you have added pain to the loss of my beloved pet. I hope the Universe guides you to do the right thing for those who trusted you while you are still alive. People trusted your plot & paid money to be fooled. Imagine paying money & seeing the work done for others but not your pet? Why the indifference? I saw headstones carved for 2023 & my dog died in 2022, I paid you in 2022 for this work. Why are you not serving me & selective few? Why do you force me to believe that you are discriminating your customers. There is a Power above you Gary, hope you find it soon.I am not giving up, for Lucky 🐾🪷 - ADAM 🧍🏾‍♂️Gary still waiting for headstone it is oct 28th and you keep telling me different stories for over a year. What is going on man? Loosing all the respect I had for you as an old man. If you cannot keep your word, just be honest.August 2023Hello Gary this is Adam, where is the headstone that I paid money for? We have been frequently visiting the Cemetery with the family & would like to see you complete the task by honoring our beloved pet. I have left you voicemails, called you & listened to your explanation / excuses since Thanksgiving but it broke my heart today to see you have done the work & given fresh headstones for other graves of pets who has passed after Lucky. But have not yet done the Grave Stone for Lucky. I paid you $950 in cash 5-28-2022 when burying at the plot. I gave you $325 in November 2022 deposit check which you have cashed for the grave stone. It has been a year. If you never liked to serve people like us, you should have never taken the duty to bury her or the money. I am disappointed with the service you gave our family. - Adam. We will not be recommending your work to anyone until you resolve this.Paid money for burial in Cash 💵 on 5-28-2022. Paid money for Headstone as well.No accountability or proper service given. Pls note for those who wish to bury their pets. This is my duty to inform you.

Been calling and leaving voicemails for Gary. He is not responding. Wanting to get a gravestone for our pet for almost three years now. Gary is no where to be found. I need to know how we can install a gravestone if it’s ordered from elsewhere since he is not able to get it in a timely manner. After reading the reviews it seems this is common with him. I’m so angry right now. The entrance to the cemetery is blocked with snow. It’s my baby’s 3rd anniversary and I can’t go visit her.

The reviews are horrendous. Transparency is everything. I can't believe this company didn't put a headstone on someone's grave. That is wicked and very disgusting.

We have 4 of our beloved pups buried here. We just buried one of them yesterday. Gary is very nice and is very caring and took great care with our pets. He did not rush us when we were saying goodbye and was able to answer any questions we had. The cemetery is very peaceful and old. It is interesting to see how old some of the graves are. We are very happy with the service we have received there. It is so hard to lose a beloved pet, but it has brought comfort that they are treated with dignity and that the 4 of them are together. I would recommend this place when you are looking for somewhere to place your beloved pets to rest.

0 STARS!!! HORRIBLE!!! DO NOT CONSIDER THIS PLACE!!!! It’s been an ongoing fight for three years now because he does not allow me to leave my pets gravestone! He claims it’s a small size, but yet there are other gravestones smaller than what I have!!!! I spent almost 1K on this piece of land just for GARY to be removing and throwing MY STUFF!! I PAID HIM FOR IT WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?????!!!!!!! So unfair!!! He doesn’t care about animals nor their owners feelings! I do not recommend!!!!!! My dog has not been able to rest in peace because of him!

Illinois Pet Cemetery is a wonderful idyllic location as a resting place for the furry babies. Gary is very caring and compassionate who gives you all the time you need before the last rites and helps you along the way. Would definitely recommend this place to all pet parents.

Great place. This is a family run business that has been passed down two generations now. Just speaking with them, you know it is so much more than a business. Gary Bloze, the Owner, understands how attached we get to our pets and is highly sensitive to the needs of grieving pet owners. Illinois Pet Cemetery offers options regarding what you want the burial process to look like. We shopped around a bit and this is very competitively priced.Having buried a few pets in the backyard, the kids wanted a pet cemetery for our family dog so they can visit down the road. We were taken back at how well the grounds were taken care of as well as the various monuments some pet owners choice to go with.

Very nice spot for a pet cemetery. Was not expecting that many large detailed grave stones. They just need to clean up the leafs and fallen tree branches then I would give it 5 stars.

A wonderful and peaceful place to lay your loved animal family member to rest. The owner couldn't be nicer. He really seemed to care about our family's situation and his compassion and help made the extremely sad and difficult time a little easier.It's not a corporate type of cemetery, which I really appreciated. It's just very personal and family oriented.

Horrible service. Do not bury your pet here. They are selective about whom they want to treat. POC pets are not treated with respect here. Take your money elsewhere or give your pet a respectable burial. They will take your money & give you excuses. Absolutely heartbroken for your racist service.

Considered burying my pet here, what a dump give your pet a burial spot they deserve this place needs to be taken over by people who really care

Descansa en paz TIGER 😿😿😿😿.It is a good place for the most dying after resting in peace and not have to be abandoned in any place as many people do. ECCLESIASTS 3; 19 for the fate of the children of men and the fate of animals is the same: as the one dies, the one dies the other. all have the same breath of life; MAN has no advantage over animals, because everything is vanity.

It's been years, but our 16 year old Irish setter was laid to rest with dignity and respect, and we felt like everyone was family.
