We lost our Luna tragically and suddenly and flukes was the light in the dark. She could not of been more amazing. They go above and beyond in every way and gave me such peace knowing my baby was going to be taken care of so well after such tragedy. I knew she was in the best hands. I have recommended them to every pet owner I know. I could not thank her enough for what she has done for Luna and my family. 100,000,000/10 recommend to anyone seeking aftercare for their fur babies.

Linda was the most caring, genuine, professional person to deal with. She took our Bella on a snowy Friday afternoon, even though she and her husband technically close Flukes on Fridays. Linda provided us such comfort with the way she handled our baby. When I arrived to pick up her ashes a week later, I was amazed at the beautiful work she had done. I am so grateful for the keepsakes that we have to remember our beautiful Bella by. Thank you Linda/ Flukes! I will recommend you to everyone I know and will return with every fur baby I have.

It’s been years seven to be exact since we took our German Shepherd Schultz there we cried like babies the whole way she is the most compassionate person and understands your grief and pain still and always will be one of the hardest days of our lives, but we keep signing up for more of them. I just referred my friend toThem at flukes because they are facing this day very soon where they’ll be beloved Nash l know they will take care of them through this difficult process thank you so much. We had to take our last beloved Kodi to another place because they were closed and it was no where near the same experience SincerelyCindi Stackhouse and family 💕

I lost my Golden girl in March and am so grateful for Linda and the services she provides. I know that my sweet girl was in the best hands possible through this difficult time. I had the same experience in 2018 when I lost my previous Golden. Linda was responsive, caring, and compassionate…as she has been with many other family members who have also lost their beloved pets. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Linda & John went above & beyond for our Nami Girl. They picked up the phone after hours and saved us from having to preserve our girl till Monday. Upon arrival they helped my husband get her out of the car and on the table. They even put a pillow under her head. I couldn’t get out of the car because I was so upset. I picked her up a week later and really enjoyed the conversation with Linda. She is a wonderful person with such a huge heart. I cannot thank her & John enough. Seriously I have other pets previously cremated at other places by vet recommendation and they are mediocre compared to Fluke’s Aftercare. The way they cut the fur and place it in the bag exactly how it looked on my dog had me in tears, I could pin point on a photo where the fur was cut. The paw print on clay, gorgeous wooden box that I believe is hand carved, the poems, certificate, extra paw prints in ink and the keychain of the dog with angel wings. I could not ask for more. Everyone that I’ve shown is literally in awe. Thank you again Linda & John, you have no idea how much this meant to our family ❤️

Lynda was so caring, sensitive and real as we went through the emotionally fragile process of parting from our treasured labrador, Winnie. When we left Winnie with her she helped make us aware of things that can surprise people and add difficulty. We left with confidence and peace. And when we came back a few days later to finally take Winnie’s ashes home, she did everything with genuine dignity, sympathy and quality. Lynda has our thanks and heartfelt recommendation for the important role she plays in the hardest step in loving a pet who is a family member.

I would strongly recommend Flukes for your pets aftercare needs.. She is very respectful, professional, & kind. My tortoise, Shelly, passed away at the animal hospital so I started calling around to figure out what to do next. The first place i called kinda treated me like I was strange or crazy for wanting to cremate my pet tortoise. She may just be a turtle to them, but she's family to me. Flukes understood that & made me feel very comfortable making the whole process as easy as possible. When i went to pick up Shelly's ashes I was surprised with a little heart shaped plaster footprint 🐾 it made my day to know I'll always have that to remember her. So sweet. Thank you so much Flukes💜

My partner and I recently lost our sweet Chihuahua named Chili. The only true solace that we had at the end of her life was that she would no longer be in pain and that she would be cared for by Fluke's after she left this world.Six days prior to losing Chili, my family dog named Lucy (but we called her Goose) passed away as well. Even though you guys were super busy that week and at capacity, you were generous enough to take my family in the day that Goose passed.From talking us through the cremation process to the urn, certificate, fur clippings, and beautiful paw prints that you took, I could truly feel the care that you put into your work. You were wonderfully compassionate and there's no other place that I would entrust my beautiful dogs to. Thank you so much for the incredible work that you do.

When my first dog passed, Chipper, away, I was devastated. I had never lost a loved one before, and I was a mess. I found him the most beautiful urn online at Fluke's Aftercare. I called to order it, and Linda was just amazing! She spent more than an hour on the phone with me, a total stranger, listening to stories about my beloved Chipper, and comforting me. That was 18 years ago. I've lost 5 more dogs since then, and Linda has been there for all of them. Dealing with the death of fur-babies (clients' and their own) is a heart wrenching business, and they offer empathy, compassion, and comfort that is unmatched.

You do amazing work and my experience with you impacted me more than can imagine. Your care of my K9 Sarge was amazing and involving me in the process helped me so much with my grief. I felt obligated to him to help with his cremation and I would never have thought of that if it wasn’t for your suggestion. One of the most difficult times in my life was made easier by you caring. Since that experience, I have a decided that I will be cremated and I was totally opposed to that until my experience with you. Thank you for what you do!

The best of the best. Flukes Aftercare is an amazing business. Linda is wonderful in every aspects of a beloved pets journey. She has taken care of many of our pets and will be calling her if the need ever arises in the future. Nothing but love and respect for these people and their business. I have recommended them many, many times.

Fluke's took care of my two beloved children (my Boston Terriers) at an especially tender time in my life (breast cancer diagnosis at the age of 40). The thought of leaving my baby girls in the freezer unit of a veterinarian's office was unbearable. (I lost my dogs in quick succession - the first passing the day after my second surgery.) I remain forever grateful for the existence of Fluke's so close to my home, and for the deep kindness, patience, comfort and reassurance that was given to me at a time of deep grief. If you make the wise decision to work with Fluke's, know that you have made an excellent decision.

I never knew a place like flukes aftercare ever existed until I had the option of doing a private cremation. The love and respect that fluke’s put into my beloved handsome boy kitty’s aftercare was hands down perfection. I hope to never have to experience the loss of any other furr baby (although I know I will) I know that I will trust flukes with my babies. I thought I’d get a box with my boys ashes in it, instead I received a beautiful hand carved box with a certificate of love and a sweet paw print that I plan to make into a Christmas ornament as he always loved sleeping under the Christmas tree.You can truly see the hard work and love that flukes puts into their job. Thank you for making a sad moment into a beautiful memory!

Compassionate and trustworthy pet cremation service. Linda walked us through the process and took special requests. We have had a large fur family for years and have used their services multiple times. My pet children's remains are taken care of locally by a family and not a corporation. They help give us peace and we truly appreciate it.

Linda and John are both compassionate &professional in handling the final care of all fur babies. They treat your pet like it was their own, very friendly on the phone and they let you take all the time you need. I can't say enough positive things!! I've used Flukes after care since 2005 (9 fur babies later) and this will continue to be the ONLY place I will take my pets. I highly recommend Flukes to all loving pet owners that want to know their pets are left in good hands. Linda & John are the best!!!

By far the absolute BEST place to take your beloved pet for cremation. The folks at Flukes are kind, compassionate, down to earth, & 100% respectful. They do a wonderful job with creating a beautiful certificate & the wooden box is the best quality I've ever received in a package. The souvenirs they provide like a ceramic heart with a paw print are top notch! Plus they have a great selection of jewelry and other things like key chains to keep a small amount of ashes with you. I highly recommend Flukes and will never use anyone else. This is by far the best and only place you ought to take your beloved pet for their final arrangements. Thank you Flukes!

John and Linda have always gone above and beyond to accommodate our need. Even if I've had to call them at the last minute or if appointment was set up in advance. They're the most caring and compassionate people I know when it comes to a fur babies end of life. We have had to go 3 times (Rosie 15 yrs old, Juliet 14 yrs old, Missy 12 yrs old) in the last 5 months and each time they have been absolutely great. 💜🇺🇸💙 I would highly recommend their services to family and friends.

I honestly couldn't speak more highly of them. They were so amazing with handling our precious baby. They showed compassion, they listened and they did all they could to help with the healing process. When I first started looking up places to creamate our baby, I called a few different places. But none stood out more than Fluke's Aftercare and I just knew that they were the place to take care of our baby boy Diego. Something about her compassion and kindness drew me to them. She was sweet and kind over the phone, she sent us a video to watch to help us understand the process and then when we met her in person she was just as sweet and kind and gentle as she was over the phone. She showed compassion towards our Diego and towards us. I highly recommend you bring your precious baby's to Fluke's Aftercare they will show you and your fur baby the upmost respect , compassion and dignity that they deserve. Thank you Fluke's Aftercare for taking such good care of our furangel and our family.

Ignore any negative review you read about this incredible service and family. I was a vet tech for a long time and appreciate more than words can express how special and compassionate they are. I lost my first dog Mojo who was my soulmate and they treated me and him like family. It gave me closure and peace. The nose and paw prints, fur clippings, photos, ink prints…above and beyond. There is no one else I would trust my fur babies with.

Love. That is what is felt from the moment you bring your deceased pet to Flukes. Linda is compassionate to your loss. She treats your pet with love and respect from the moment the baby is put into her arms, to the moment she places the remains into your hands.Please trust me, if you love your pet, and want the utmost respect and compassion for he or she, bring them to Flukes. They're not in it for the money. They know our pain.If you don't know the story behind Flukes, ask. You will know you are in the right place. 💞

My dear Snowwhite of 17 years passed and I was truly heartbroken. I knew she was in good hands when I brought her to Flukes but was even more grateful to Linda for taking the time to comfort me and listen to my story of how Snowwhite and I met and our journey together. She had such kind words and I felt that she was genuinely sad for the loss of my fur baby. She truly loves every kind of fur baby and was willing to show me how the process worked. Although I didn't have the stomach for it, she gave me such piece of mind I knew I was definitely in the right place! Thank you Linda for everything ❤

This is about no response, sorry Linda if you’re going through a rough time, but this has happened in the past, waiting significant amount of time for answers to make an appointment. No one should have to wait all week. I reached out on social media as well as the business line. Many scenarios went through my mind like; are you still in business, if you’re that busy why aren’t you hiring help with the phones, are you on vacation. I went online here to find different sites to see if I could figure things out, come to find out the reviews on yelp are similar to what I’m saying so I know it’s not just me. Apparently you have a rough time getting back to people and that causes you to lose business. It’s OK to be busy but you should at least let people know so I could’ve reached out to others in the meantime if you’re not taking on new customers or treating the ones that have been there for you with priority. No worries best of luck!

I just want to take a second and say how amazing this place is. They are super caring and will go out of their way to take care of all of your needs. My precious little one passed very late at night and I reached out to them, not thinking to receive an email back at 10 PM at night but they did, They went above and beyond. To answer questions and to take care of all of my needs. I highly recommend anybody to come to them their customer service is beyond anything that I expect. They made me feel like family. They asked about my little one wanted to know all about him. You will be a family member to them Not just another customer. I highly recommend before you use anybody else to reach out to them.

I contacted Fluke's to have my cockatiel, Peaches, cremated after she passed back in the end of 2015. The lady came to pick up Peaches since she was in town and brought her urn back to me in a very nice carved box, along with a heart pendant which had Peaches footprint in it, a certificate of cremation and a nice tote bag. The price was incredibly reasonable and I honestly could not have asked for a better result. I am as confident as can be that Peaches received the utmost care and would highly recommend Fluke's to anyone.

When my sweet Ryeley passed away in August of 2019 I was a wreck! This place was a blessing! She truly cares and took care of my sweet girl as if she was her own. I could barley talk I was so devastated but she listened, took time with me, was patient. She went above and beyond with the care and detail of my girl.. She was even understanding when I called her crying to "check in" to see how my baby was doing. I would rate this place 10 stars if I could!

Linda is amazing, she is professional and personable. My baby girl of 13 years 8 months passed in my arms on Tuesday morning. (Perhaps the saddest moment of my life). I called, she said to bring her. She goes through all of the details of what the process is, which is nice. Then i drove down the hill to the actual crematorium, where i placed my precious baby on a steel cart in her favorite blankey, she even put a pillow under her head. (Those small things matter) much appreciated... And she gives you all the time you need to say goodbye... picked her up on Thursday and she is now home where she belongs.... Thank You Linda....

The loss of a pet is one of life's saddest experiences. If you're like me, you want your animal to know they're loved and respected, even in death. Fluke's Aftercare's all inclusive cremation blew me away with the quality. The paw print, the beautiful poems, the extra notes for love letters... all of these little details really helped give us what my toddlers and I call "heart Band-Aids". Thank you for making this very sad situation have a lot to be thankful for.

I have always had a great experience as I have gone to Linda multiple times now with my babies as well as fosters in the past, however I am now appalled at how the lack of communication and professionalism has shown through my sisters attempts to make an appointment for her cat and how you would not only refuse services to her because of a bad review that was clearly the feelings of someone who just lost their pet and felt they were not getting the response in order to complete cremation, but then to also say that you refuse service for me as well because I am the sister who recommended you?! Very unprofessional and inconsiderate for a business owner who claims to care about their clients! I did nothing wrong and clearly this was not my pet so how am I being refused because of this? Very sad. I assisted my sister with reaching out to you several times as well as called and we were completely understanding and respectful about your time up to this point, however this is certainly a case where communication was lacking and gapped, making it very difficult to establish anything lt. So being upset about a bad review is understandable, but this was just absolutely ridiculous. I will also share that I am just shocked that you would share emails that for one were to you from me and from my sister reaching out to you and it was not very professional to share them publicly, but also prove that there was in fact gaps between communication over this time frame and that's just those emails you chose to share. I have always appreciated you as you have given me my babies back safe and been sweet to me and my family, this seems very out of character for you and the business you provide, which is very sad because I had done nothing wrong at all and neither did my sister, so I do apologize that you were upset but it is what it is and there was no reason at all to react in such a disrespectful and inconsiderate way as you did...."I SINCERELY HOPE THAT YOU FIND SERVICE THAT CAN BETTER ACCOMMODATE YOU AND YOUR SISTER NOT ONLY NOW, FOR YOUR CAT, BUT IN THE FUTURE.

I lost my best fur friend of 18 years in February. We were a little late bringing him to Linda and he had been gone a little over a week when we gave him over. She did great with him despite his condition. I hope to return to her when my other furbabies leave the world.

Incredibly kind and caring people. Linda and her husband run this operation near their home, and couldn’t be more thoughtful. When I was at my worst after losing my best friend they made things as easy as was possible given the circumstances. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Our world needs more good people like them in it.

I have used Flukes for two of my fur babies. One about 10 years ago and one just recently. Both days I arrived in tears. She was comforting and kind. I always recommend her service because she has such a big heart and understanding of how hard it is to lose a pet.

John and Linda have always gone above and beyond to accommodate our need. Even if I've had to call them at the last minute or if appointment was set up in advance. They're the most caring and compassionate people I know when it comes to a fur babies end of life. We have had to go 3 times (Rosie 15 yrs old, Juliet 14 yrs old, Missy 12 yrs old) in the last 5 months and each time they have been absolutely great. 💜🇺🇸💙 I would highly recommend their services to family and friends.

I honestly couldn't speak more highly of them. They were so amazing with handling our precious baby. They showed compassion, they listened and they did all they could to help with the healing process. When I first started looking up places to creamate our baby, I called a few different places. But none stood out more than Fluke's Aftercare and I just knew that they were the place to take care of our baby boy Diego. Something about her compassion and kindness drew me to them. She was sweet and kind over the phone, she sent us a video to watch to help us understand the process and then when we met her in person she was just as sweet and kind and gentle as she was over the phone. She showed compassion towards our Diego and towards us. I highly recommend you bring your precious baby's to Fluke's Aftercare they will show you and your fur baby the upmost respect , compassion and dignity that they deserve. Thank you Fluke's Aftercare for taking such good care of our furangel and our family.

Ignore any negative review you read about this incredible service and family. I was a vet tech for a long time and appreciate more than words can express how special and compassionate they are. I lost my first dog Mojo who was my soulmate and they treated me and him like family. It gave me closure and peace. The nose and paw prints, fur clippings, photos, ink prints…above and beyond. There is no one else I would trust my fur babies with.

Love. That is what is felt from the moment you bring your deceased pet to Flukes. Linda is compassionate to your loss. She treats your pet with love and respect from the moment the baby is put into her arms, to the moment she places the remains into your hands.Please trust me, if you love your pet, and want the utmost respect and compassion for he or she, bring them to Flukes. They're not in it for the money. They know our pain.If you don't know the story behind Flukes, ask. You will know you are in the right place. 💞

My dear Snowwhite of 17 years passed and I was truly heartbroken. I knew she was in good hands when I brought her to Flukes but was even more grateful to Linda for taking the time to comfort me and listen to my story of how Snowwhite and I met and our journey together. She had such kind words and I felt that she was genuinely sad for the loss of my fur baby. She truly loves every kind of fur baby and was willing to show me how the process worked. Although I didn't have the stomach for it, she gave me such piece of mind I knew I was definitely in the right place! Thank you Linda for everything ❤

I heard really good things about this place but her lack of communication has left me still trying to figure out where to get my best friend (cat) cremated. She said she would do it, but then stops answering my calls and emails. I'm sure she's still a good place to go if only she would answer calls or emails. 😞

Linda is amazing. She was truly a blessing during the most horrible time in my life. I was comforted knowing that my beloved was treated with dignity and respect and received a private and considerate cremation. The extra care taken to receive the paw print heart and the certificate was beyond. I recommend Fluke's to anyone who truly wants a blessed experience during the tragedy of losing a best friend. Thank you!

This is about no response, sorry Linda if you’re going through a rough time, but this has happened in the past, waiting significant amount of time for answers to make an appointment. No one should have to wait all week. I reached out on social media as well as the business line. Many scenarios went through my mind like; are you still in business, if you’re that busy why aren’t you hiring help with the phones, are you on vacation. I went online here to find different sites to see if I could figure things out, come to find out the reviews on yelp are similar to what I’m saying so I know it’s not just me. Apparently you have a rough time getting back to people and that causes you to lose business. It’s OK to be busy but you should at least let people know so I could’ve reached out to others in the meantime if you’re not taking on new customers or treating the ones that have been there for you with priority. No worries best of luck!

I just want to take a second and say how amazing this place is. They are super caring and will go out of their way to take care of all of your needs. My precious little one passed very late at night and I reached out to them, not thinking to receive an email back at 10 PM at night but they did, They went above and beyond. To answer questions and to take care of all of my needs. I highly recommend anybody to come to them their customer service is beyond anything that I expect. They made me feel like family. They asked about my little one wanted to know all about him. You will be a family member to them Not just another customer. I highly recommend before you use anybody else to reach out to them.

I contacted Fluke's to have my cockatiel, Peaches, cremated after she passed back in the end of 2015. The lady came to pick up Peaches since she was in town and brought her urn back to me in a very nice carved box, along with a heart pendant which had Peaches footprint in it, a certificate of cremation and a nice tote bag. The price was incredibly reasonable and I honestly could not have asked for a better result. I am as confident as can be that Peaches received the utmost care and would highly recommend Fluke's to anyone.

When my sweet Ryeley passed away in August of 2019 I was a wreck! This place was a blessing! She truly cares and took care of my sweet girl as if she was her own. I could barley talk I was so devastated but she listened, took time with me, was patient. She went above and beyond with the care and detail of my girl.. She was even understanding when I called her crying to "check in" to see how my baby was doing. I would rate this place 10 stars if I could!

Linda is amazing, she is professional and personable. My baby girl of 13 years 8 months passed in my arms on Tuesday morning. (Perhaps the saddest moment of my life). I called, she said to bring her. She goes through all of the details of what the process is, which is nice. Then i drove down the hill to the actual crematorium, where i placed my precious baby on a steel cart in her favorite blankey, she even put a pillow under her head. (Those small things matter) much appreciated... And she gives you all the time you need to say goodbye... picked her up on Thursday and she is now home where she belongs.... Thank You Linda....

The loss of a pet is one of life's saddest experiences. If you're like me, you want your animal to know they're loved and respected, even in death. Fluke's Aftercare's all inclusive cremation blew me away with the quality. The paw print, the beautiful poems, the extra notes for love letters... all of these little details really helped give us what my toddlers and I call "heart Band-Aids". Thank you for making this very sad situation have a lot to be thankful for.

I have always had a great experience as I have gone to Linda multiple times now with my babies as well as fosters in the past, however I am now appalled at how the lack of communication and professionalism has shown through my sisters attempts to make an appointment for her cat and how you would not only refuse services to her because of a bad review that was clearly the feelings of someone who just lost their pet and felt they were not getting the response in order to complete cremation, but then to also say that you refuse service for me as well because I am the sister who recommended you?! Very unprofessional and inconsiderate for a business owner who claims to care about their clients! I did nothing wrong and clearly this was not my pet so how am I being refused because of this? Very sad. I assisted my sister with reaching out to you several times as well as called and we were completely understanding and respectful about your time up to this point, however this is certainly a case where communication was lacking and gapped, making it very difficult to establish anything lt. So being upset about a bad review is understandable, but this was just absolutely ridiculous. I will also share that I am just shocked that you would share emails that for one were to you from me and from my sister reaching out to you and it was not very professional to share them publicly, but also prove that there was in fact gaps between communication over this time frame and that's just those emails you chose to share. I have always appreciated you as you have given me my babies back safe and been sweet to me and my family, this seems very out of character for you and the business you provide, which is very sad because I had done nothing wrong at all and neither did my sister, so I do apologize that you were upset but it is what it is and there was no reason at all to react in such a disrespectful and inconsiderate way as you did...."I SINCERELY HOPE THAT YOU FIND SERVICE THAT CAN BETTER ACCOMMODATE YOU AND YOUR SISTER NOT ONLY NOW, FOR YOUR CAT, BUT IN THE FUTURE.
