Ashley Fox
We unexpectedly lost our 12 year old chihuahua mix, Ruger, and had to make the dreaded phone call to make arrangements. Ashley was so incredibly kind and helpful throughout the process and made communication simple and easy over the phone. When arriving at the facility to drop him off, Shaun met us at the truck and promised to take care of our baby like he was his own. Shaun was an absolute god send during this process and made leaving feel not as terrible. He knew how upset we were and promised to have my baby back to us asap. It wasn’t even 24 hours later, and my sweet baby is back home with us. I’ll be forever grateful for the love and compassion we felt during this difficult time. I would highly recommend using this service and thankful we received the care that we did. The clay paw print and hair clippings were so incredibly special to have with his urn.

Hard to believe pet cremation could be described as a “great experience,” but it was. I did not meet with any staff to discuss arrangements prior to my cat passing, however John was extremely responsive over the phone, worked me in to their schedule promptly, and answered all my questions. The staff person who accepted my cat when I dropped her off was extremely kind and compassionate. I received her ashes & paw print/hair keepsake in just one day. I’m so grateful for how my pet and myself were treated here.
James Stephens
Our beloved cat, who was 15 1/2 years old with a big personality and treated as family, had to be euthanized due to cancer in his mouth. John with Heartland was very helpful and took care of us all the way to the end. Our little fur friend now rests in a beautiful wooded urn we purchased through Heartland Pet Cremation. The cost of the cremation and upgraded urn was very reasonable and my wife and I are grateful for John making this dreaded task simple as possible without any mishaps. Thank you Heartland…
Rich Allan
John at Heartland was awsome to work with. He advised and helped through the entire process and explained everything in detail. I hate that as a pet caretaker I will need their services again, but I won't use anyone else in the St. Louis area. Compassionate and affordable

Paula Parker
I unexpectedly lost my boy earlier this month and am grateful I came across Pet Cremation. They were at my house within an hour and were so professional, caring, and respectful. Their kindness helped ease the pain of losing my beloved pet. Forever grateful for them.
Debbie Whoberry
My elderly cat died in my arms early on a Saturday, at home. It was sudden and in addition to my grief I was unsure what to do as normally my vet would handle this. I called Heartland and they guided me through the process. It made a horrible day a little easier. The person that answered the phone as well as the young man that met me at their office an hour later were very compassionate and took good care of her. Thank you.
Seth Hillman
John did a fantastic job assisting my wife and I through the loss of our cat. The price was excellent and service even better, especially considering the short-notice arrangements made the day prior. Plus, we got her back in just one day.The genuine sympathy was felt from the very start of our communications and carried all the way through. Heartland does it right.Thank you so much for being there during a very difficult time!
Zaitohro
When I tell you John and his staff have the biggest hearts on the planet, I am not kidding you.Our cat suddenly had to be put down and the humane society wouldnt even pick up the phone. We needed an emergency cremation for our cat and I called John and instead of complaining about being rushed, he expressed so much emotion towards our loss and to our cat that I never would have expected from anyone.The place is a funeral home for your pets. They do everything properly and treat pet loss as it should be treated.No other place will ever come close to what these people have done for us.-Family of Seneca.
Libitina Arechiga
We lost our bearded dragon after a long bout with cancer, and didn't know if something as small as he was would even be able to get a private cremation.Thankfully they were able to take care of him and even gave us a clay cast of his feet and tail.John was wonderful through the whole ordeal, and even helped guide us through some memories we had of our sweet boy.I can't thank Heartland and John enough for everything they did for us.
Gretchen Friesen
I highly suggest this business if you’ve got smaller pets. I had four rats that passed and was struggling to find a place that’d take them in for a reasonable price, and I eventually found this place! The amount of care and respect they put into your loved ones is beyond amazing.Each rat had two great paw impressions and little clippings of hair. They gave closure for my babies.If you want your loved ones to be in good hands, I suggest going with this place. Outstanding service, Thank you! 💕🐀
Sarah Walker
Heartland went above and Beyond for our family after we lost our beloved cat. John treated us with such compassion and respect through the entire process. Highly recommend them. Thank you John and team for taking such great care of my sweet boy, your kindness in this difficult time meant so much to our whole family.
Iris T
Both John and Shaun are very compassionate after we lost our beloved cat of 17 years. We received our cat's ash very quickly in 2 days. Thank you.
T. Fields
My 15 yr old boy ROSCOE P. COALTRAIN passed away @ 130am Monday, the loss although not unexpected was still devastating. He was a large pitt mix and weighed about 95lbs when i called Heartland pet creamation Monday morning they promptly showed up @ 9am with a cot and blanket to take him to their facility. They were so compassionate and kind! The service they provide is worth every cent! As well as the choice of urns, they also provide a paw print and a lock of his hair as a keepsake. Ill 100% be calling them in the future when the time comes to take care of my other furbabies.

Teagan Frisby
We lost our 2 year old cat, Soot, to congenital heart disease. We were tight on money, but we were able to pay in two parts, half when we dropped off Soot and half when we picked her up. They were kind and respectful throughout the whole process, and it definitely made it easier knowing she was in good hands.
Pierre Cornell
I had a great experience with Heartland Pet Cremation. I called the when my beloved dog suddenly passed away. They responded to my residence within 30 minutes and took possession of his body. They was very friendly, courteous, and professional.They treated his remains with great care and respect. I would highly recommend Heartland to everyone.
Bailey Thompson
Can not recommend Heartland enough. My dad’s dog passed unexpectedly and we didn’t know what to do. Called Heartland and they were there very fast and the guy was so kind, compassionate and professional! 10/10
Trinity Olson
Very good experience. They got our loved one back home to us very quickly. We were handled with care and compassion the entire time.
Maggie Barnidge
I had a wonderful experience with pet cremation after the loss of my beloved pet. This company came highly recommended by another friend who had used them, and I was thrilled with the kind and compassionate service I received. They made a sad and devastating time a little easier, and I am so grateful for that. In addition to my pet ashes, they also made a commemorative paw print of my pet, as well as some clippings of her hair, both packaged very carefully.

They were very gentle and caring with my kitty Sophie. They responded very fast which was helpful in a hard time.
Stephanie Keane
After the sudden passing of our dog, we were greatful to find Heartland Pet Cremation. We were able to finalize our old girl's cremation during a difficult and painful time. They were very compassionate and helpful. We were able to get her in and just a few days later we were able to pick up her ashes. The paw print and hair clipping were presented nicely with her ashes. Thank you for assisting us during this difficult time.
Nick Boercker
Heartland pet cremation was awesome through the entire process of taking care of my wife’s dog for her. They were accommodating and handled the situation with the utmost care and importance. Would highly recommend them for anyone going through the process of letting go of an animal.
Marissa Wanninger
My 11 year old pup died last Tuesday evening from a horrific seizure. I didn’t want him to be buried because we have a schnauzer dog and my fear was that she’d try to dig him up. That would be utterly devastating especially for my five year old. He was already pretty distressed about losing his best friend. The entire process was very easy considering it was a very difficult situation as is. I made the call and filled out some information online and then received a call back about 10 minutes after filling out some forms and they scheduled a pickup at my house. Everything occurred in a matter of hours. Once Teddy was picked up, he was cremated and they made paw prints for us and clipped some of his hair for us to keep (which I think is absolutely amazing) and we received all of the contents the very next day. I will definitely use this service again and I highly recommend this service to those looking for an affordable and stressful service in handling those last precious moments in caring for your pet after they pass away.
Kari Bodle
Losing my dog after 16 years was one of the most difficult times of my life. Heartland treated me and my Max with such compassion. Thank you, John.
Kevin K
They were very polite, professional, and efficient. I would highly recommend any and all friends/family to them.
GS GS
I have dealt with the Heartland Pet Cremation Services during one of the worst mornings of my life. They were very respectful and attentive of all the needs during the process. The pick up was painful but the driver was wonderful, and I knew my baby was in good hands. The teddy bear urn was beautiful too. Long story short, I would definitely and highly recommend Heartland. I hope you never need it but if you do, this is the place that will take care of your fur babies.

The service was immediate and professional. We would recommend anyone seeking crematorium service to contact Heartland.

Rhiannon Oakes
The folks at Heartland were very kind and professional through the entire process of my dog’s cremation. I had never needed pet cremation services before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but I felt they treated her with dignity and respect, and their prices were much more affordable than others in the area.
Jennifer Lundstrom
Wish I could give more than 5 stars. John and his staff were kind, compassionate and understanding. We knew our beloved fur baby would be treated with respect and dignity, and for that we are so thankful. They are truly the best at what they do, hands down. Again, thank you for making such a terrible time more bearable❤️🐾
Tim Wood
John was amazing helping me through this tough time. This was the first time having a dog pass away, and he used experiences from his own life to let me know what to expect in the coming days and how to get through it. He made the process very easy.
Tammy Layman
Very fast on picking up our Nala girl and john was just amazing thank you so much. Only thing I wish the paw print would have harder and more of a indention of her paw. I accidently hit the 1 star but fixed that they deserve a 5 star and I would give a 10 star if that was a option
L Greer
Very thoughtful, considerate and compassionate people. It's always difficult to lose a pet because they are family members and the staff here understands that. I was important to us that we stayed with our baby until the end so we were able to bring him from the vet to Heartland and escort him just inside. That was very comforting to see a bit and understand what would take place. They provide a paw print and a lock of hair with the cremains which is very thoughtful. Thank you for helping us through our loss.
Crystal Vazquez
They were kind and professional from the start. They reached out to me promptly and provided me details of next steps. When they arrived they were very respectful and empathetic which I really appreciated. It was a dark time for me but I was truly grateful to have a great company to take care of laying my dog to rest. I would absolutely recommend them.
Wayne Dale
I imagine good reviews for services like this are thought to come by. Our 4-year-old Newfoundland passed suddenly, and it was devastating to our family. We knew that with the heat we needed to find somewhere quick, and, on a Sunday, I expected it would hard to find. They answered right away and were very friendly in helping us find the best way to move forward. We were able to drop our best friend off same day and pick her up the next so we could have her with us. It took only a few more days for our custom urn to arrive and an appointment was scheduled the next day to have her transferred to her final urn.The staff was very kind and seemed to care. I am thankful that they were available to help us.
Jonathan Guccione
Super Responsive and Sincere. They provided a service above and beyond including a fur clipping and paw print in a purple velvet bag to boot. The only downside to mention are the pot holes the city needs to repair near the entrance to their parking lot.
Deborah Stone
Every single person I spoke with over the phone or met in person was absolutely wonderful. I got my sweet girl back very quickly and they even put a little bag of her fur with her ashes and paw print. They are very compassionate and I would highly recommend them if you need a loved one cremated.

They took wonderful care of our Chica. Caring and compassionate in our time of loss. Will definitely use them again when it eventually happens to our other dogs. Amazing company, came when they said they'd be there. Also the price was exactly what was quoted no upsale or hidden fees. Great people, I highly recommend them if you need a pet removed and cremated.
Sarah Dickhoff
Losing our beloved cat, Seamus, after 17 years of companionship was devastating. Heartland Pet Cremation was so compassionate and professional, they gave our furry family member the care and respect he deserved and we got him back home with us quickly! I would never wish this pain on anyone but we know that’s the price we pay to know the love of a pet. I highly recommend choosing Heartland when the time comes to say a final goodbye to the beloved pet in your life.
Sadie Carr
Everyone at Heartland Pet Cremation made an extremely hard thing as smooth as possible. They are amazing people and truly made me feel not so alone. I got my baby back in just 2 days and I couldn't be more thankful for them. I would choose them over and over again!
Dawn Friesx :-/ fhko out illp0pote11x CM UNV
My daughters guinea pig passed away on Saturday and I did not know where i was gonna take her. I called heartland cause they were the only ones that seemed to be open and I'm so happy I did. They were so compassionate and thoughtful. When we got there to drop her off they did not rush us or anything. The day I was able to pick her up they were so nice and again did not rush the process. Thank you for everything! You helped make this smooth for my family.
CJ Tobin
John was wonderful, compassionate, and professional. I so appreciate you all being open on New Year's Day 2023 when I desperately needed your services. I have and will continue to HIGHLY recommend Heartland to everyone I know. Thank you for making such a difficult time for me as smooth, compassionate, and prompt as possible (including the turnaround time to receive my kitty's ashes back). I have always had pets and I have had all my pet's ashes returned to me for the last 30 years. I have utilized many pet cremation services, as we have moved thru the years. I have had good experiences with those other places, however, none of them compare to the services I received from Heartland. The fact I have not done a review before for such personal services, speaks volumes. Heartland has already thought of EVERY little detail, particularly as it relates to us as Paw-Parents which to me, is everything!Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
Richard Hartland
We have been utilizing the services of Heartland Pet Cremation since 2005. We always experience exceptional caring service that truly makes a difficult situation more comforting. Losing a pet is one of the hardest things, but the time John spends with you talking of your family member is stellar. Thank you for all that you do!
Nigaila Gibbs
They were so kind. They kept me informed every step of the way. They even sat with me when I picked him up. I pray Noone needs their services but Heartland gave Theseus the love and respect he deserved. They were the best in a horrid situation
Sam Carroll
Extremely kind people. They were flexible with us and caring throughout. The services were performed very quickly. Couldn't have asked for better. We did a basic cremation and it included hair clippings and a clay paw print, which was a wonderful addition that I wasn't expecting. Thank you all.
Nicolas Williams
When I put my dog to rest I couldn’t ask for a more respectful and attentive service to get me through the process. Huge thank you to Heartland from my entire family

Thank you for helping us through our loss.
Crystal Vazquez
They were kind and professional from the start. They reached out to me promptly and provided me details of next steps. When they arrived they were very respectful and empathetic which I really appreciated. It was a dark time for me but I was truly grateful to have a great company to take care of laying my dog to rest. I would absolutely recommend them.
Wayne Dale
I imagine good reviews for services like this are thought to come by. Our 4-year-old Newfoundland passed suddenly, and it was devastating to our family. We knew that with the heat we needed to find somewhere quick, and, on a Sunday, I expected it would hard to find. They answered right away and were very friendly in helping us find the best way to move forward. We were able to drop our best friend off same day and pick her up the next so we could have her with us. It took only a few more days for our custom urn to arrive and an appointment was scheduled the next day to have her transferred to her final urn.The staff was very kind and seemed to care. I am thankful that they were available to help us.
Jonathan Guccione
Super Responsive and Sincere. They provided a service above and beyond including a fur clipping and paw print in a purple velvet bag to boot. The only downside to mention are the pot holes the city needs to repair near the entrance to their parking lot.
Deborah Stone
Every single person I spoke with over the phone or met in person was absolutely wonderful. I got my sweet girl back very quickly and they even put a little bag of her fur with her ashes and paw print. They are very compassionate and I would highly recommend them if you need a loved one cremated.

Sean is amazing. Very helpful staff that ensures that everyone feels thought of cared for
Joe Dinsmore
Great customer service. Awesome staff. Very pleased with my services. Would recommend to everyone in the time of need.
Lizzy Mox
After an unfortunate last-minute need for my beloved kitty to be cremated following a sudden passing, I called on a Sunday afternoon and was beyond relieved to receive such compassion during this difficult time. I was able to schedule an appt within the hour, and when we arrived, Sean greeted us with the same compassion I was met with on the phone. He allowed us time to say our goodbyes, reassured us of the protocol/procedure, and gave us ample time to say our final goodbyes. I can’t emphasize enough how much Heartland Pet Cremation assisted me during this time of grief. I highly recommend!
jmnucat11
Great service provided and would definitely use them again if needed. I called and my pet was picked up within an hour. The gentleman who came was very nice and sympathetic to the situation. It was easy to tell he cared and was very respectful. The urn I ordered was amazing quality and I could not be happier with it. They even did an extra ink paw print on paper for me which was not originally part of the service. Thank you so much for the great job you did!
Andrea Barker
Everyone involved in the process of having my family's cat cremated was incredibly kind and patient. Heartland was also very quick despite this all happening just 2 days before Christmas, we were able to bring home our cat's ashes and pawprint just 3 days after she was picked up. Also, the fact that Heartland sent someone to pick up our lost pet was incredible for my family, relieving a lot of pain and stress from a difficult time. I cannot recommend these kind people enough.
Bruce Meyer
Heartland was, this time, as caring as they have always been for our multiple deceased pets in the past. While this is never fun, they do the very best to make this as easy as possible. An excellent service we have in the past, and will continue to use.
Felicia Eberhart
At the lowest point of our lives, they took on so many things we couldn't do after losing our fur baby. The compassion, comfort, and peace of knowing they took care of her was the solace we needed at a difficult time.
Jill Wallace
Our beloved kitty of 15 years Pixy, passed away in July due to some health issues. We contacted Heartland Pet Cremation right away and from the start they were kind, helpful and compassionate. Justin and his staff made the whole experience as devastating as it was, so much easier. We truly felt they cared for our loss and took great care of our girl. Service was quick and we were able to pick up her remains within 1 day! Thank you so much to the Heartland Pet Cremation team for easing our pain during this difficult time. We highly recommend their services to anyone who is looking for affordable, quick and compassionate service when losing a pet. Thank you!!!
Debb Andrus
Our dog recently had a clean bill of health at his annual checkup, so imagine our horror when we came home to find him dead on the kitchen floor! We called John at Heartland Pet Cremation, and he was so very comforting over the phone. And it wasn’t long before he and Shawn showed up to take away the body; but first, more words of comfort and understanding. The next day, John came back with the ashes and velvet bags with our dog’s hair and footprints. That was so special!John and Heartland was everything we needed at the terrible moment, and more. We felt surrounded by love and support.
Valerie Frerichs
We lost our Kitty after 15 years with her this week. Heartland was very responsive on a Sunday of a holiday weekend to come and pick her up. They were very respectful and sympathetic during a very difficult time. We just got her back yesterday and again the sympathy and professionalism was way above the call of duty. This had not been the first time we had used them and they were just as great to work with 4 years ago as today. I would give them ten stars if I could.
Brad Douglas
They took wonderful care of our Chica. Caring and compassionate in our time of loss. Will definitely use them again when it eventually happens to our other dogs. Amazing company, came when they said they'd be there. Also the price was exactly what was quoted no upsale or hidden fees. Great people, I highly recommend them if you need a pet removed and cremated.
Sarah Dickhoff
Losing our beloved cat, Seamus, after 17 years of companionship was devastating. Heartland Pet Cremation was so compassionate and professional, they gave our furry family member the care and respect he deserved and we got him back home with us quickly! I would never wish this pain on anyone but we know that’s the price we pay to know the love of a pet. I highly recommend choosing Heartland when the time comes to say a final goodbye to the beloved pet in your life.
Sadie Carr
Everyone at Heartland Pet Cremation made an extremely hard thing as smooth as possible. They are amazing people and truly made me feel not so alone. I got my baby back in just 2 days and I couldn't be more thankful for them. I would choose them over and over again!

My daughters guinea pig passed away on Saturday and I did not know where i was gonna take her. I called heartland cause they were the only ones that seemed to be open and I'm so happy I did. They were so compassionate and thoughtful. When we got there to drop her off they did not rush us or anything. The day I was able to pick her up they were so nice and again did not rush the process. Thank you for everything! You helped make this smooth for my family.
CJ Tobin
John was wonderful, compassionate, and professional. I so appreciate you all being open on New Year's Day 2023 when I desperately needed your services. I have and will continue to HIGHLY recommend Heartland to everyone I know. Thank you for making such a difficult time for me as smooth, compassionate, and prompt as possible (including the turnaround time to receive my kitty's ashes back). I have always had pets and I have had all my pet's ashes returned to me for the last 30 years. I have utilized many pet cremation services, as we have moved thru the years. I have had good experiences with those other places, however, none of them compare to the services I received from Heartland. The fact I have not done a review before for such personal services, speaks volumes. Heartland has already thought of EVERY little detail, particularly as it relates to us as Paw-Parents which to me, is everything!Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
Richard Hartland
We have been utilizing the services of Heartland Pet Cremation since 2005. We always experience exceptional caring service that truly makes a difficult situation more comforting. Losing a pet is one of the hardest things, but the time John spends with you talking of your family member is stellar. Thank you for all that you do!
Nigaila Gibbs
They were so kind. They kept me informed every step of the way. They even sat with me when I picked him up. I pray Noone needs their services but Heartland gave Theseus the love and respect he deserved. They were the best in a horrid situation
Sam Carroll
Extremely kind people. They were flexible with us and caring throughout. The services were performed very quickly. Couldn't have asked for better. We did a basic cremation and it included hair clippings and a clay paw print, which was a wonderful addition that I wasn't expecting. Thank you all.
Nicolas Williams
When I put my dog to rest I couldn’t ask for a more respectful and attentive service to get me through the process. Huge thank you to Heartland from my entire family

Heartland Pet Cremation was so polite and helpful during out time of need. The staff was very kind and professional. I trust them with all of my future needs.
Cindy Harper
They are very friendly and nice. And they care about people and their feelings.
Nick Montani
We have used Heartland Pet Cremation in the past. They show us top-notch service, professional demeanor, and best courtesy. John is always great to work with. Highly recommend using Heartland. Won’t find anyone else to handle the loss of a pet, making your time and emotions well taken care of.
Ky Smith
Heartland took very good care of my family needs during the passing of our beloved pet. They were informative about the process and gentle with our feelings during the process. She came back just as they said she would wrapped up beautifully.Thank you guys... We will forever use your services, hopefully not so soon ;)
Alexis Ahrens
We lost our beloved dog child Zeus May 3, 2023 not knowing anything about what to do John at Heartland maybe this all as comfortable as can and walked us through everything. So if anyone is needing a place to go to cremate your pet needs to go here. John was very kind and very caring. Answered all questions and made us very comfortable for the situation we were in. All the staff were amazing! Thank You so much!
Chia Yu Lien
Losing i-maow, my cat is the most devastating experience I have ever had in my life. And Heartland Pet is the best thing during the process. Justin and his colleagues are understanding, compassionate, and patiently led me through the horrible process. I sincerely appreciate their help!
Lori Wasson
I’m not one to regularly take the time to leave reviews, but I felt the need to share my experience with Heartland. I really hope I caught all of their names correctly so I can give credit where credit is due. We came home on a Sunday afternoon to find that our 14 year old dog had passed and crossed the rainbow bridge in his sleep. Of course I was distraught and in a panic and wondered what we could even do, as it was late afternoon on a Sunday and I always knew that I wanted to have him cremated (privately) and have his remains returned to make a memorial stone. I thought I’d give Heartland a call to at least try to make arrangements for the following day (since again, it was a Sunday). Eli answered the phone on a Sunday afternoon and was extremely compassionate and gave his heartfelt condolences as I tried to talk through my tears. We live about 50 miles from their location but he said that he would have someone out to our home within 60-90 minutes. Ricky came to our home to pick up our boy and once again, was so empathetic and caring and gave me a few minutes alone to tell my best friend of 14 years goodbye for the last time. John was in contact with me to let me know what day they would be returning him home. They brought him back home a few days later in a nice presentable box and included a print of his paw and a clipping of his fur. Heartland is one of the most caring companies I have ever had they pleasure to work with. My heart is at ease knowing that they took great care of my boy until they brought him back home. It’s hard to find companies in business that care so much about what they do and the people they serve, but Heartland checks all of the boxes. I highly recommend their services and I will definitely use them again when the inevitable and unfortunate time comes with our other pets. Thank you to everyone at Heartland for making this process a little less painful.
Jessie Good
My cat passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. The person I initially spoke with was calming, sensitive and expressed such kindness. I feel like I cannot find the right words to express my gratitude for John. He showed such kindness while I sobbed, patiently listening, offering condolences and reassurance. Never making me feel rushed or that he needed to be anywhere else but with me helping me through the process and talking about my beloved pet (or my other beloved pets that have already crossed). Although nobody wants to need their services, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience during a very traumatic time. I’m so very sorry that you are here having to make this decision but please take some comfort in knowing that this company does it’s very best in caring for you and your pet.
Terry Carmody
This is the second time in 11 years I have used Heartland for cremation of my beloved Golden Retrievers. The care and service that they gave was exactly what we needed. Both times they were contacted and were available when I needed them. I appreciate the respect that they gave to our four legged family members and us too. Thanks for the quick turn around with their remains. I am comforted in knowing that Lucy and Stella were in good hands and highly recommend their service.
scott noel
When I lost my dog they came immediately to pick her up. The woman on the phone was super nice and understanding of my loss. So was the man who came to get her. He shared stories about losing his pets, gave me time for a few last words. Had a little stretcher to help get her in his vehicle. They shipped her back to me quickly for a good price, or you can go pick them up yourself. I can't say enough good things. In a hard time, it was a great help!
Jennifer Bessy
I wouldn’t able to say enough good stuff about the people that work here. They are so kind, helpful, patient, and caring. They took perfect care of our baby kitten today. We appreciate all that they did for us. If we ever have another situation like we had today we will be going back. Pray we don’t but if it happens we know where to go.

After our dog passed away, we were pretty distraught and had no idea how to handle things. What we did know is we wanted to have him cremated so he wouldn't be left behind when we move someday. Pretty much all the places are priced about the same. What sold me on Heartland Pet Cremation over other facilities was when I spoke to them on the phone they were far more concerned with how we were doing instead of making the sale. That empathy matters and is why we chose to trust them with our loved one. We would definitely choose Heartland for our future needs when the time comes.
Hannah Yates
Due to unfortunate circumstances, we lost our sweet bird far too early in her life. This place and the staff here are beyond helpful and wonderful when helping my family through the grieving process. We got our sweet girl back very fast and as detailed on the website. Thank you for all you've done.
Catherine Speis
Heartland Pet Cremation was patient and helpful throughout our sweet baby’s last few weeks. We had gone back and forth with end of life decisions resulting in many on again/off again phone calls to Heartland. When the time came, we knew what to expect. And they worked directly with our vet so there was nothing more we needed to worry about. Everyone at Heartland I spoke to was compassionate and always referred to our beloved by name. Our baby was returned to us as promised in the most beautiful urn with the engraving exactly as we requested. We’ve already recommended them to a dear friend of my husband’s who is in a similar situation. You don’t need to use the cremation company your vet is affiliated with. We didn’t and happy with the outcome. I highly Re commend Heartland.
Crystal H
Heartland Pet Cremations helped me and my family through a tough time. They were on top of things with the timeline, in which we needed services, and answered any follow up questions that I had. They handle with great care.
emma nikodem
Words cannot express our gratitude for Heartland Cremation. We lost our beloved dog of 13 years expectantly, and they made brought some sunshine into what was one of the worst days of our lives. They are so kind and respectful. They went out of their way to make sure I was able to have some of our baby's ashes to make jewelry so we could carry her with us always. They had a gorgeous urn made for her as well, and made sure we had plenty of her paw prints. I never thought I would write a review for something like this, but I just need people to know that this place is there for you when you most need them.
Stacia Weinhoffer
Heartland Pet Cremation went above and beyond for our family during a particularly difficult time. We lost our beloved cat during a hospital stay with a baby in the NICU. They were able to pick up at our address with short notice and after 8pm. They were kind and very professional. While no one wants to lose their very loved pet I am thankful for the service Heartland Pet Cremation provides.
Jake Marshky
Through the hard time of the loss of our pet they were so understanding and caring. We asked for prints (paws and nose). They turned out wonderful, and we got him back quickly. Everyone was nice through the entire process.
Nicole Buonanno
I am visiting my mother and we had an unfortunate freak accident with one of her dogs. I can’t say enough good things about Heartland Pet Cremation Services. They are so very very empathetic and compassionate. They came to my mother’s house at the drop of a hat to pick up her little baby. They were so kind and understanding and let us take our time picking what we wanted and no rush with payment. They made sure to call and email us with updates on everything and even asked how we were doing especially my mother. The driver was beyond sweet when he took lily and when he dropped her off to us. One of the best experiences we could have ever had in this kind of situation. We will definitely recommend/ use them again in the future! Thank you so so much for everything!
Merideth McWeeney
I highly recommend Heartland Pet. They took care of everything, coming to our house to get our kitty and bringing his remains back home. We lost our furbaby of 14 years without warning and were in shock. There was no way I could drive anywhere. Heartland Pet worked with us quickly and helped us make arrangements over the phone. They came very quickly that morning, on a Saturday and took care of our pet lovingly. They even called us 15 minutes ahead as I asked so I could make sure our kids got one last hug/pet and felt ready. They arrived in a nice van and placed our kitty gently inside. Everyone we interacted with through Heartland was compassionate. They were great with communication and brought back the remains within 3 days along with a few keepsakes. My heart goes out to anyone who needs to read this review. I have nothing but good things to say and heartfelt thanks for everyone at Heartland Pet cremation.
Erik Willingham
Our beloved family cat passed away overnight in February 2022, and I called Heartland Pet Cremation on a Friday morning to make arrangements for her. The representative we spoke to was very compassionate and understanding; we met him in the facility's parking lot to transfer our cat's remains early that day, and they had her ashes and keepsakes ready for us to pick up the following morning on Saturday. Losing a pet is never easy, and it's even more painful when your children are young and very attached. Heartland Pet Cremation helped us by making a painful situation at least a little more bearable, and we very much appreciated their service and professionalism, as well as their empathy.
Cindy Harper
They are very friendly and nice. And they care about people and their feelings.

Excellent service, and easy to make the arrangements. John went above and beyond his duty; he was professional and compassionate, and he picked up my non-human companion kitty Sasha from my apartment. Thank you all for making this tough time much easier to bear, the footprint and the fur memento will be treasured forever.
Kim Leighton
My only dealings were with John, but he was excellent both on the phone and in person. He was very caring and empathetic from my first phone contact through our taking our guinea pig to their facility through picking up the remains. There was no pushing of any upgrades or packages, just concern for our loss. The urn we ordered, the paw prints...everything came out very well. I felt like Nibbles was in good hands when we left him. I still feel that way.
Micheal Bowman
They made sad situation a little easier, very friendly and considerate. Would not hesitate to use them again or to refer them to friends and family and time of need. Thank you heartland.
Susan Schau
This is the third time I have used Heartland. It is such a better experience than leaving my beloved friend with the vet to take care of after her death. It was no more expensive--or minimally not more expensive--than my vet and I had the assurance of their personal care and a dignified cremation. No worry that she was stored under refrigeration for a week or more waiting for her remains to be picked up at the vet and then mass cremated or sent for dissection. Heartland is totally trustworthy. In my grief I overpaid. Heartland called me and promptly refunded the difference. I would never have known or felt cheated if they had not contacted me. It just goes to show their level of care.
Gary mertz
My experience with Heartland was incredible. John was so awesome and very consoling with our huge loss of our best friend Auggie. If I could rate higher I would. Thank you John for making everything so nice.
Jillian Louise
When the time comes, I cannot recommend Heartland Pet Cremation enough. We had our 14 (and a half!) year old Yorkie put down at home last week. My initial plan was to let that service handle the cremation, but we did it in the morning, and I didn’t want little P sitting in a car all day...so we drove him to Heartland ourselves. It was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made; it gave me more time with him, and allowed us to meet some of the most genuine, caring people I’ve ever come into contact with. John met us in the parking lot, explained the process and cost, and was so gentle with P’s little body that it brought me to (more) tears. I am “that” pet parent, a paranoid control freak who probably would have watched the entire process if I could have, because, let’s face it...a lot of people don’t have the respect for animals that we wish they did. But I trusted Heartland immediately. John also made us some wonderful paw impressions and hair locks. I cannot imagine ever using another service again. Thank you for making such a difficult thing just a little bit easier.
Ezra Brokaw
when my sweet kitty who had been around as long as i can remember started to decline in health i knew i wanted to honor her life by getting her cremated. i found heartland and they were wonderfully kind and accommodating with not too bad of a price for me as well. i cannot recommend them enough, and as much as i dread the day my other four legged friends cross the rainbow bridge, i know i will be using their services again. thanks so much for everything <3
Sue Pacheco
Heartland met us at the facility on a Sunday morning. My dog Bob had died early that morning. I was able to say goodbye to my beloved Bob. When I went to pickup his ashes, I was met by a very kind young man who sat down with me and talked a little about how/what I was going to do with Bob's ashes. He explained to me what to expect if I chose to sprinkle his ashes in my garden. He was so kind. They had made a paw print and saved some of Bob's hair for me. I thought that was a nice thing for Heartland to do for their customers. I would recommend Heartland Pet Cremation. Thank you.
Kelly Heizer
I was very pleased with the process for having our pet guinea pig cremated. From the initial phone call to the time I picked up remains I was always warmly guided through everything by the staff. They picked up my pet from my home and I picked up the remains a few days later at a nearby location. Thank you to Justin and everyone else at Heartland Pet Cremation!
Ethan Marose
We lost our 11 year old boxer / lab. It was a sad day for the family but we are forever grateful for the compassionate team at Heartland. They handled everything perfectly, promptly, and professionally. The fur clipping and paw print they gave us were perfect keepsakes. Thank you again Heartland team!

That empathy matters and is why we chose to trust them with our loved one. We would definitely choose Heartland for our future needs when the time comes.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, we lost our sweet bird far too early in her life. This place and the staff here are beyond helpful and wonderful when helping my family through the grieving process. We got our sweet girl back very fast and as detailed on the website. Thank you for all you've done.
Catherine Speis
Heartland Pet Cremation was patient and helpful throughout our sweet baby’s last few weeks. We had gone back and forth with end of life decisions resulting in many on again/off again phone calls to Heartland. When the time came, we knew what to expect. And they worked directly with our vet so there was nothing more we needed to worry about. Everyone at Heartland I spoke to was compassionate and always referred to our beloved by name. Our baby was returned to us as promised in the most beautiful urn with the engraving exactly as we requested. We’ve already recommended them to a dear friend of my husband’s who is in a similar situation. You don’t need to use the cremation company your vet is affiliated with. We didn’t and happy with the outcome. I highly Re commend Heartland.

Heartland Pet Cremations helped me and my family through a tough time. They were on top of things with the timeline, in which we needed services, and answered any follow up questions that I had. They handle with great care.

Words cannot express our gratitude for Heartland Cremation. We lost our beloved dog of 13 years expectantly, and they made brought some sunshine into what was one of the worst days of our lives. They are so kind and respectful. They went out of their way to make sure I was able to have some of our baby's ashes to make jewelry so we could carry her with us always. They had a gorgeous urn made for her as well, and made sure we had plenty of her paw prints. I never thought I would write a review for something like this, but I just need people to know that this place is there for you when you most need them.
Stacia Weinhoffer
Heartland Pet Cremation went above and beyond for our family during a particularly difficult time. We lost our beloved cat during a hospital stay with a baby in the NICU. They were able to pick up at our address with short notice and after 8pm. They were kind and very professional. While no one wants to lose their very loved pet I am thankful for the service Heartland Pet Cremation provides.
Jake Marshky
Through the hard time of the loss of our pet they were so understanding and caring. We asked for prints (paws and nose). They turned out wonderful, and we got him back quickly. Everyone was nice through the entire process.
Nicole Buonanno
I am visiting my mother and we had an unfortunate freak accident with one of her dogs. I can’t say enough good things about Heartland Pet Cremation Services. They are so very very empathetic and compassionate. They came to my mother’s house at the drop of a hat to pick up her little baby. They were so kind and understanding and let us take our time picking what we wanted and no rush with payment. They made sure to call and email us with updates on everything and even asked how we were doing especially my mother. The driver was beyond sweet when he took lily and when he dropped her off to us. One of the best experiences we could have ever had in this kind of situation. We will definitely recommend/ use them again in the future! Thank you so so much for everything!
Merideth McWeeney
I highly recommend Heartland Pet. They took care of everything, coming to our house to get our kitty and bringing his remains back home. We lost our furbaby of 14 years without warning and were in shock. There was no way I could drive anywhere. Heartland Pet worked with us quickly and helped us make arrangements over the phone. They came very quickly that morning, on a Saturday and took care of our pet lovingly. They even called us 15 minutes ahead as I asked so I could make sure our kids got one last hug/pet and felt ready. They arrived in a nice van and placed our kitty gently inside. Everyone we interacted with through Heartland was compassionate. They were great with communication and brought back the remains within 3 days along with a few keepsakes. My heart goes out to anyone who needs to read this review. I have nothing but good things to say and heartfelt thanks for everyone at Heartland Pet cremation.
Erik Willingham
Our beloved family cat passed away overnight in February 2022, and I called Heartland Pet Cremation on a Friday morning to make arrangements for her. The representative we spoke to was very compassionate and understanding; we met him in the facility's parking lot to transfer our cat's remains early that day, and they had her ashes and keepsakes ready for us to pick up the following morning on Saturday. Losing a pet is never easy, and it's even more painful when your children are young and very attached. Heartland Pet Cremation helped us by making a painful situation at least a little more bearable, and we very much appreciated their service and professionalism, as well as their empathy.
Zachary Corson
I just used them for the third time over the past five years. All of my experiences have been great. They are so comforting about the situation and make me feel like they really understand what I am going through. Most recently, our cat was put down on a Saturday morning and Heartland had someone to the vet within an hour of my call. They followed up a few days later when they were done to schedule the ashes being delivered to me. It is always hard saying goodbye to my furry family, thankfully Heartland helps during the hard time to make things easier.
Jen Nahmensen
We suddenly lost our cat, she died on the way to the ER. I contacted Heartland immediately, around 7:30am via their website. They contacted me as soon as they opened at 8am and came to my home to pick up at 10am. They were extremely compassionate, caring and sympathetic through the whole process. I would not trust my fur-babies to anyone else.
Sean Allen
After losing my pet abruptly, and finding them and giving them a call. They were very responsive and quick to help me. Nothing but great service every step of the process.
Daniel Limbert
We used Heartlands services for our chocolate lab, Murphy. They responded quickly and were very professional and courteous when they arrived at our home. To lose a pet is never an easy thing, but with this company working with you in your time of grief you feel a little bit more at peace. My mother was thrilled with the paw print and hair clipping!
Eric Olson
We lost our Boston mix, Ace last Friday. In our toughest if times, John was amazing, going above and beyond by waiting past closing for us to bring Ace to him. It's gestures like this that make this company a great one! Thank You John!
The York's
When we suddenly lost our 13 year old dog Gunnar - we were devastated! Our 16 year old, didn't remember a life without him. I had been working from home for a year and spent everyday, all day with him. We still struggle with the loss however I don't know how we would have gotten through the first few days without those at Heartland. We knew he had to be put down and having to make the drive from the vet to Heartland with him was more than we could handle. They were extremely responsive and were able to pick him up the same day we reached out. Once the process was completed, I received a call that he was ready to be picked up. Due to Covid, I had to remain in my car and they brought him out. I was greeted by John who was professional, compassionate and genuine. He expressed his condolences and even took time to talk about how to help our daughter get through the loss. For now, I'm done with fur babies as the loss was so difficult but should I ever need this type of service again, I will only go to Heartland.
Nikkita Womack
Heartland Pet Cremation, specifically John, was wonder during our difficult time. When I lost my baby, Boss; Heartland Pet Cremation responded quickly and sincerely. The process was easy and convenient, especially while trying to grieve a family member. When John arrived to our home to pick Boss up, he was very gracious in answering all our questions, he explained the process and treated Boss as if he knew him personally. I decided to select an upgraded urn and it was delivered today along with his paw prints and fur and it was beautiful. I strongly recommend Heartland Pet Cremation for your pet needs as they were absolutely wonder during this very difficult time for my family.
Melissa Williams
This place is amazing. They handled my pet's cremation with such care and compassion. Everything was done so easily and in a very timely manner. Highly highly recommend to anyone having to deal with a pet's cremation.
K P-G
My family paid for an urn, a hair clipping and a paw print. We only received the urn and the paw print. If you’re asked to go through Heartland to cremate your dog.. I would not recommend it. They are very unprofessional and claimed that they had nothing to do with my dog not receiving the hair clipping. The veterinary place and heartland played the blame game and no one ever took responsibility for their actions. We were promised to get something we paid for and never received it. My family and I are under distress and the disrespect of Dr. Pamela Clary is unbelievable and has made this process much more difficult. How can you disrespect your clients like that? Please do not take your pet here! I promise there are much better places to take your pet!@heartland. There was no miscommunication from my family. We made it very clear what we wanted and you guys and the veterinarian clinic expressed to us that it was very clear of what we wanted done to our dog. Sorry to inform you but Heartland did not take full responsibility for any of their part in this cremation. You guys played the blame game as I stated before. I understand you guys have different services, we didn’t get the service that we asked for and you both know that. Do I need to remind you that it is stated on your website that your basic service includes an basic urn and a paw print with fur clippings in an soft velvet bag. Please refer back to your website if you’re still in denial.UPDATE: After Google notified me that over a thousand people have seen my review I noticed that this company was responding to bad reviews stating that it had something to do with my family. That is entirely disrespectful and unprofessional! WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE!!!!!!
Shenan Bradshaw
Heartland was amazing, when my large dog passed away suddenly they were so helpful and easy to work with. They came to the house to pick up her body and were nothing but professional & kind. Thank you!
Susana Martin
Excellent service, and easy to make the arrangements. John went above and beyond his duty; he was professional and compassionate, and he picked up my non-human companion kitty Sasha from my apartment. Thank you all for making this tough time much easier to bear, the footprint and the fur memento will be treasured forever.
Kim Leighton
My only dealings were with John, but he was excellent both on the phone and in person. He was very caring and empathetic from my first phone contact through our taking our guinea pig to their facility through picking up the remains. There was no pushing of any upgrades or packages, just concern for our loss. The urn we ordered, the paw prints...everything came out very well. I felt like Nibbles was in good hands when we left him. I still feel that way.
Micheal Bowman
They made sad situation a little easier, very friendly and considerate. Would not hesitate to use them again or to refer them to friends and family and time of need. Thank you heartland.
Susan Schau
This is the third time I have used Heartland. It is such a better experience than leaving my beloved friend with the vet to take care of after her death. It was no more expensive--or minimally not more expensive--than my vet and I had the assurance of their personal care and a dignified cremation. No worry that she was stored under refrigeration for a week or more waiting for her remains to be picked up at the vet and then mass cremated or sent for dissection. Heartland is totally trustworthy. In my grief I overpaid. Heartland called me and promptly refunded the difference. I would never have known or felt cheated if they had not contacted me. It just goes to show their level of care.
Gary mertz
My experience with Heartland was incredible. John was so awesome and very consoling with our huge loss of our best friend Auggie. If I could rate higher I would. Thank you John for making everything so nice.
Jillian Louise
When the time comes, I cannot recommend Heartland Pet Cremation enough. We had our 14 (and a half!) year old Yorkie put down at home last week. My initial plan was to let that service handle the cremation, but we did it in the morning, and I didn’t want little P sitting in a car all day...so we drove him to Heartland ourselves. It was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made; it gave me more time with him, and allowed us to meet some of the most genuine, caring people I’ve ever come into contact with. John met us in the parking lot, explained the process and cost, and was so gentle with P’s little body that it brought me to (more) tears. I am “that” pet parent, a paranoid control freak who probably would have watched the entire process if I could have, because, let’s face it...a lot of people don’t have the respect for animals that we wish they did. But I trusted Heartland immediately. John also made us some wonderful paw impressions and hair locks. I cannot imagine ever using another service again. Thank you for making such a difficult thing just a little bit easier.
Ezra Brokaw
when my sweet kitty who had been around as long as i can remember started to decline in health i knew i wanted to honor her life by getting her cremated. i found heartland and they were wonderfully kind and accommodating with not too bad of a price for me as well. i cannot recommend them enough, and as much as i dread the day my other four legged friends cross the rainbow bridge, i know i will be using their services again. thanks so much for everything <3
Sue Pacheco
Heartland met us at the facility on a Sunday morning. My dog Bob had died early that morning. I was able to say goodbye to my beloved Bob. When I went to pickup his ashes, I was met by a very kind young man who sat down with me and talked a little about how/what I was going to do with Bob's ashes. He explained to me what to expect if I chose to sprinkle his ashes in my garden. He was so kind. They had made a paw print and saved some of Bob's hair for me. I thought that was a nice thing for Heartland to do for their customers. I would recommend Heartland Pet Cremation. Thank you.
Kelly Heizer
I was very pleased with the process for having our pet guinea pig cremated. From the initial phone call to the time I picked up remains I was always warmly guided through everything by the staff. They picked up my pet from my home and I picked up the remains a few days later at a nearby location. Thank you to Justin and everyone else at Heartland Pet Cremation!
Ethan Marose
We lost our 11 year old boxer / lab. It was a sad day for the family but we are forever grateful for the compassionate team at Heartland. They handled everything perfectly, promptly, and professionally. The fur clipping and paw print they gave us were perfect keepsakes. Thank you again Heartland team!
jhfield4
Heartland Pet Cremation went above and beyond in making accommodations to pick up my cat Alice and bring her safely home. They provided excellent customer service and treated us with empathy and respect. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Robert Beumel
You made everything as painless as possible. Everything you said you were going to do was exactly the way you said. You made me feel better after having my cat for 22yrs. Thank you very much for your sympathy and understanding.This is the place to go to have your pet taken care of. They are great people.
Jaclyn Boismenue
I cannot say enough about the love and care these people poured into my baby, Simon. I won’t go into detail, but we found ourselves in quite a unique and strange situation with my Simon kitty. But they handled it so well and with so much compassion. I can’t thank them enough for all they did for me and my boy.
Tamara Salter
This place is awesome. John had such a kind and sympathetic voice which really helped to calm me down. The service was exceptional and filled with remorse. This is definitely not what anyone wants to go thru after the loss of their furry best friend but they made it bearable. The pawprint a d hair keepsake was a nice bonus.
Matthew E
Saying goodbye to our dog of fifteen years was an incredibly difficult and emotional experience for us. The staff at Heartland Pet Cremation were so accommodating for us, never rushing us, not speaking too much or too little. They gave us the guidance we needed and the space to grieve during the process and it was an easy, smooth transition giving up our loved one to them. I highly recommend them as a group who respects what you are experiencing.
Elizabeth Orchard
EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE: They came and picked up my dog out of my yard and gently put him on a tartan blanket that was on a stretcher and covered him. Summarily, they returned his ashes and collar to me within a few days. Heartland even made a paw print -- I found that very moving and quite unexpected. Truly a gem of an experience.
Megan Timmermann
Heartland Pet Cremation is one of the best companies out there to care for your furry family member!!! The vet clinic I worked at in Highland, IL contracted with them and they were always fantastic!!! Prompt, friendly, and fast on service. If we had questions or concerns on anything, they were easy to contact and always friendly. I highly recommend this company!!!! Hands down the absolute best!!!
M Larson
The staff at Heartland were incredibly kind and supportive in a difficult time when our cat passed away very suddenly. We would absolutely recommend them to any who may need their services!

We recently said our tearful goodbyes to our four-legged friend, and the process was so much easier because of the hospitality and graciousness of the team at Heartland Pet Cremation. This is our second time using their services and as with the first time, we felt they communicated incredibly well about what to expect & when, services were all very professional, and the team's demeanor was one of understanding and compassion. This is the place to go if you are evaluating final services for your pet.

Everyone at Heartland Pet Cremation was kind and compassionate when we lost our Doberman! We appreciate everything they did for us that day and would certainly use their services again in the future.

Colleen O'Neil Milne
Absolutely wonderful people and company. I've used them twice, a few years apart, for two of my large dogs (100lbs and 150lbs). Each time I had them come to my house to pick them up, and each time they offered to bring a second person if I was unable to assist with getting my dog(s) on the stretcher and help carry them to their car. I had both cremated and had the option of picking up their cremains from a location closer to my house. The people I talked to, from my initial phone call, the person who picked up my dogs, and the person that gave me their cremains at their downtown office all made a very difficult and emotional time made it as easy as possible. They are simply the best and most supportive people I could have hoped for.
GB Northway
Forever grateful to John and the entire staff at Heartland. Through every step, every single person was wholeheartedly compassionate and gentle and exceedingly kind. John knows firsthand how devastating the loss of a pet can be, and I believe he expects his business to be conducted just like every pet that comes here is his own. It was one of the worst days of my life. But I'm thankful Heartland helped to ease the pain as much as anyone possibly could.
Michele Van Drew
John and the drivers were all so sensitive and professional in taking care of us and our loved ones. Response time was so fast and everything went smoothly, which made the experience less stressful. I highly recommend Heartland.

I got my dog Lola cremated here. They were so nice to me and they were very respectful of what you wanted. I recently had to put my loyal companion to sleep..my cat Trisket..I chose Heartland again for cremation.. I wouldn't go any where else..so respectful of your wishes showed lots of compassion for your pet !

Heartland showed so much compassion during a heartbreaking moment for my family. They made the process less traumatic picking up my cat so that I didn’t have to transport him.

The people I talked to, from my initial phone call, the person who picked up my dogs, and the person that gave me their cremains at their downtown office all made a very difficult and emotional time made it as easy as possible. They are simply the best and most supportive people I could have hoped for.

Forever grateful to John and the entire staff at Heartland. Through every step, every single person was wholeheartedly compassionate and gentle and exceedingly kind. John knows firsthand how devastating the loss of a pet can be, and I believe he expects his business to be conducted just like every pet that comes here is his own. It was one of the worst days of my life. But I'm thankful Heartland helped to ease the pain as much as anyone possibly could.
Michele Van Drew
John and the drivers were all so sensitive and professional in taking care of us and our loved ones. Response time was so fast and everything went smoothly, which made the experience less stressful. I highly recommend Heartland.
Sharon Howard
I got my dog Lola cremated here. They were so nice to me and they were very respectful of what you wanted. I recently had to put my loyal companion to sleep..my cat Trisket..I chose Heartland again for cremation.. I wouldn't go any where else..so respectful of your wishes showed lots of compassion for your pet !
Anastasia Moore
They did a great job making sure I was emotionally ok.That was a kind hearted thing of them. They treat the process like your animal is a human. I just want to thank them so much from the bottom of my heart.💜❤️
Gary Deffendall
Heartland was very caring during the loss of our pet which we still very much miss. They helped us out on a Sunday morning and we had our pet back the next day! Thank you Heartland.
Heather Schoene
I work for a company that uses heartland and I can tell you that they are top notch and the best!! Very professional and always there for the client!! I can honestly say I have never heard 1 bad thing about them EVER!!!! Their urns are beautiful and the respect they show everyone is amazing. We recommend them to everyone when they ask who we use. They are truly amazing and the staff are wonderful as well.
Stacy Bragg
In a time of need, Heartland Pet Cremation and their staff were kind and responsive. We are so grateful for their services and their respect for our pet.

Honestly I am not kidding, this is the place to go, the way that man spoke to me and made eye contact and had so much care when I was grieving it’s like he knew exactly what I was going through and that acknowledgement and care was everything, and I wouldn’t want anyone else handling my baby. I’d trust him with just about anything. I’d give them all my business if it didn’t mean another pet would have to die. I mean the front desk was okay but when I was handling stuff in the back is where the 5 stars is coming from. I’m sorry if you lost your baby and you are teasing this, I hope this makes things easier to decide.
Amanda Richter
I had the love of my life cremated with Heartland. They came to my house to pick her up. Euthanasia is hard and tramatic on a pet owner and it was a relief to have them their to ease my pain. I also worked with Justin years ago while working at a veterinary clinic and have full trust with Heartland. They are kind and compassionate.
Stephen Wiechel
My wife and I had to put our 13 year old boxer down two years ago. You know the day will eventually come but there is no way you can prepare yourself. It was so incredibly sad and was quite a struggle. What got us through this was knowing we did everything we could for Jagger until she passed and the last thing we did was take her to Heartland Pet Cremation. Taking her there provided us with comfort she was properly cremated and in good hands the entire time. The staff there took this matter very seriously and spent time talking to us and listening to us. If you are ever in this situation, I’m very sorry but if you want your pet taken care of properly there is only one place to go and that is Heartland Pet Cremation.Steve & Jenny Wiechel

We have used Heartland in the past 2 years and in response to recent negative reviews just want to edit our previous review and state again, we would not trust our pet with anyone other than Heartland Pet Cremation. They are very kind and thoughtful and will take the utmost care with your animals.We were faced with the difficult decision this past week with letting go of a furry family member of ours Weezy. With the challenging past year trying to keep her comfortable and happy when we were towards the end it was comforting and a huge relief to be able to rely on @Heartland Pet Cremation in Weezy final days. They were available on a moments notice with no question, sympathized with my family over our loss, and were so respectful when treating our lost family member. They are also local St Louis Family that has been in business for generations and are loving pet owners themselves. Having that peace of mind that your pet will be with someone who cares deeply for them is priceless. I also encourage you when you are in this moment to also look into Central West End Veterinary Clinic 4131 Lindell Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63108 who were also very professional, caring, and come right into your home to help your furry friend. Thank you both for making this a positive experience for me and my family!

Our beloved Norwich Terrier, Scully, passed away in her sleep overnight. I sent in a request on their website when I found out early in the morning. John called right at 8am when they opened. We made arrangements to drop Scully off at 9am. Upon meeting with John he was super professional and caring. We received her remains along with her clay paw print and cut of her hair the very next day. We appreciate you guys for making things just a bit easier.
Jennifer Limbert
We can’t thank Heartland Pet Cremation enough for helping us through two of our dogs passings. Kirby and Kooper were a part of our family for almost 18 years. Heartland made the process that much easier with their caring staff and clear communication. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I arrived home from work to discovered our beloved Chelsea had passed away. She was only 12 and in good health, so her death was quite a shock. I searched online and found Heartland Pet Cremation was the only pet cremation service in the city. I called and talked to Justin, he was caring and empathetic as he explained the services Heartland provides. John arrived later this that day to pick up our "baby" and was as equally caring and compassionate as Justin. John gave us all the time we wanted to say goodbye. John returned Chelsea's remains a few days later. Throughout the entire process both Justin and John were very professional. I highly recommend Heartland Pet Cremation if you are considering cremation for your beloved pet. Thanks guys.
Mike Richey
We were devestated by the lose of our dog (Ellie) it happened in the middle of the evening and we didn't know what to do! The weather was sub zero out side and I knew I could not dig a proper grave. I called them and they met me at their location and respectfully picked her up and consoled us the best the could. We were truly blessed to find them and will refer them no question about it.
Jessica Bauer
oh heartland, you have my heart! great services, great people, always contagious smiles, which is something people need while going through the tough time of losing an animal. Nothing but good words. John always works closely with the clients to make sure that everything is handled in an easy, and heartfelt way. Thank you for all you guys do! Our team loves you!!

Our family dog passed away, so we contacted Heartland Pet Cremation. Every team member were extremely kind and supportive.
Krissi Joyce
The day Pugsly passed was a very difficult one for my family. It was a Sunday and Heartland was there for us and was able to come get him and the transporter handled him with the utmost respect. We appreciate everything they did for us in our time of need. Thank you!
danielle etzel
Heartland showed so much compassion during a heartbreaking moment for my family. They made the process less traumatic picking up my cat so that I didn’t have to transport him.
Candice Hoffmann
When our puppy passed away unexpectedly over the weekend they went out of their way to accommodate us. Made a heartbreaking experience a little easier to handle.
Olivea Moss
They were absolutely amazing to work with during such a tough time. They were compassionate, professional, and very sympathetic. They even gave us an extra lock of our dogs hair and an extra pawprint free of charge so my dad and I could both have one of each.

Our pet was treated with the utmost respect and compassion. Thank you again for helping us during a difficult time.

After the devastating passing of our dog this week, Heartland responded quickly to assist and were so very kind every step of the way.Thank you so much for taking care of our boy so well, when we no longer could.We are so grateful.
Nancy Church
Couldn't have asked for a better experience with Heartland. John went above and beyond what we expected. We loved our little boy and they were like they did too! Awesome!
Jesse Wilson
We had a great dane who passed while we were out of town. Heartland pet cremation made all of the logistics just go away. Their professionalism and empathy made a difficult situation a little less stressful. I would recommend them to any family who just lost one of their four-legged members.
Ian Murphy
I've used Heartland Pet Cremation several times over the years and, without exception, their employees and service have been exceptional. Losing a pet is an awfully difficult experience, but the folks at Heartland go above and beyond to ensure that this part of the process is as painless as possible. It is clear that these folks are pet owners who know how hard this is and they always do everything they can to give you some peace while saying goodbye to a friend. Will never go anywhere else.
Mark Moore
Very compassionate! Quick, friendly and affordable. They understand that our pets are family. I've already mentioned them to friends that recently lost their furbaby.
Elsa Stuart
Heartland Pet Cremation employs the most caring and helpful professionals. Losing a pet is a very difficult thing, and these people help make the experience as pleasant as possible. Imagine working in a job where clients only interact with you on the worst day of their lives. Not everyone is easy to please. They do a wonderful and difficult job. Thank you Heartland!
catherine espino
I called up Heartland around 7:45 pm on a Wednesday night and John was able to meet up with me the following morning. He was punctual and very easy to talk with.
Christine Cella
Sadly this is my 4th time around with them. They are the most incredible, compassionate, caring, kind, and understanding people. They act as if our pets are people. To me, my dogs are my children. They are worth the extra money for the service they provide. We are also guaranteed to get our pet's ashes back. As long as I have dogs, I will use their services.
Blair Mehlman
No company or group of employees has ever shown the amount of respect and care as Heartland Pet Cremation did for me and my family. When going through this difficult period of time the professionalism they displayed was greatly appreciated. Fully recommend them to all.
Rich West

The Staff was great, very accommodating & most of all took care of my dear dog Jaida! They even provided a paw plaster, which was a nice touch. Thanks Justin & Staff!!
Scott Mehlman
Losing a pet after 14 years is obviously not an easy thing but because of the professionalism, courage and sincere sympathy from the folks at Heartland Pet Cremation I am now able to share 14+ more years of memories with Kayla because of her ashes and a really awesome paw-print mold that Heartland prepared for me. Heartland Pet Cremation certainly gets my thumbs up of approval.
Mike Kaupas
A heartland rep came out and listened to me for about 20 minutes. He explained to me what the process entails. I received Avery back in a week. There were no problems. Thanks again for your service.Mike Kaupas and Avery.
