Having to put down a loving pet is one of life’s hardest decisions. They took care of our “Gracie” girl with the upmost care and consideration. We felt very comforted that she was in such good hands with people who sincerely care. I highly recommend, your fur baby will be well cared for. Thank you for your service and bringing her home to us.

What a pleasant and thoughtful company in a time of complete devastation for our family. So respectful of us and the process. Thank you for taking care of our beloved Diesel and bringing him back home!

Do not hesitate to call Faithful Companions! A week ago, our bulldog, who was our world, passed unexpectedly of heart failure while we were at Indian Lake. We were devastated and had no idea what to do. Faithful Companions came up in my search, so my friend called them for us. They traveled from Plain City to Indian Lake to pick him up and delivered his remains back to us the next day. Kyle was so professional and compassionate and so was the staff that we talked to over the phone. His remains were returned to us in a beautiful box and the paw print was very nicely done. I like that we are able to easily get into his remains to have jewelry made.Thank you Faithful Companions for assisting us through this very difficult time!!

I lost my cat bailey unexpectedly after only 7 years with her. At the vet, I was only told I’d get her ashes back in a box, but what I actually got surprised me. The level of kindness, communication and care that went into this touched my heart. She was my emotional support animal and losing her abruptly was difficult to say the least. You all were so quick and caring. The engraved box is so beautiful and the paw print was such a special surprise. I love that you all took the time to bring my best friend home personally. I cannot thank you enough, I know that my baby was handled with care.

Faithful Companion came quickly to get my beloved poodle and then bring her back within 24 hours. The beautiful paw print and kindness they offered was amazing. Thank you again for treating my Party like a family member.
Ryan Bokman
I can't believe how wonderful you are. I was not expecting a clay paw print and a beautiful box with Toby's name imprinted so wonderfully on it. And then you delivered it to me. I'd give you ten stars if I could. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my little buddy. 🩷
Helen Newkold
I paid $372 to have a tiny, 7.5 lb. cat cremated through Faithful Companion Pet Cremation Services in Columbus, OH. That is more than the combined cost to cremate all 6 of my previous cats who passed between 2011 and 2021 which were sent to a different Columbus-based pet cremation service by my usual vet. I didn't realize how much of my MedVet bill was for this latest cremation itself until it was too late. Had MedVet broken down the cost for me rather than simply asking if I wanted him cremated and whether I wanted his cremated remains returned to me, I would have opted to take his body home with me so I could have made arrangements to use the service I used previously which never cost me more than $50 for a small cat. And yes, I got basically the same service from the prior service - a paw print, a fur clipping, and the remains delivered to me at home. The only difference was that the cheaper service brought them home in tins and this one used a wood box which they stamped his name onto, but I alway buy a much nicer box for mine anyway with their names, photos, birth and death dates, and a quote on each. The cost of a cheaper cremation plus a really nice box bearing a photo and my preferred text as I have bought separately for my prior cats would have cost only a fraction of the $372 I paid to MedVet to have him cremated by Faithful Companion. It's like adding insult to injury for them to overcharge by so much at such an emotional time. I am very disappointed with MedVet for not explaining the cost I would incur for the cremation when asking what I wanted to do with his body. They only gave me the total cost of the bill, and I just assumed that most of it was for the care and euthanasia they provided. It never occurred to me that one local pet cremation service would charge nearly 7.5 times what another does. Buyer beware on this one. I know it's an emotional time, but please ask questions so you can avoid getting ripped off like this. Faithful Companion Pet Cremation services could give me absolutely no explanation as to why their services are so ridiculously high priced compared to other local pet cremation services. MedVet really needs to pair up with a more affordable service for the sake of their clients' best financial interests. It does make me wonder if someone is getting kick-backs. That might explain where some of that extra money I paid went. So disgusting to take advantage of someone during such an emotional moment by not simply offering them enough information to make a more informed decision when they're crying too much to be able to ask all of the right questions. They should absolutely be required to give you the full pricing information when presenting your options so you can do what is best for you and your budget, especially if, like me, you've spent about $10,000 in the last year alone just fighting to keep the poor cat alive since he was young enough to keep fighting for.
Chris Tisdale
Thank you for everything you do. Everyone made the cremation process as easy and quick as they could. The paw prints, engraving, and presentation box are absolutely classy, beautiful, and respectful. Thank you. God bless you all.

As hard as it is to write this review, I just wanted people to know that this is the best place for your pet if you need cremation services. We used them for our beloved Zoe through Lap of Love. I asked the vet all about them because I wanted to make sure our Zoe was in good hands and treated very gently and respectfully. Dr. Nellie assured me these are the best around and will treat our Zoe like their own. Later that night I called asking about upgrading her Urn after looking through the brochure the vet had left. They were so patient while I was crying talking through the options. I felt like they really cared. Her marble urn is just beautiful with her name engraved in silver. They let us keep her urn we upgraded from as well, a little red box with her name engraved. We use that for her collar and fur clippings. They called the next day to tell me they were bringing her back home. I instantly bawled my eyes out but it gave me great comfort to have her back so soon. They also gave brochures about grief, a card, and a poem. I sleep with her urn next to my bedside and miss her deeply.RIP to our beloved Zoe, until we meet again 💔

Our best boy, Champ (beautiful German Shepherd), died at home with us this week. We were heartbroken to say the very least. We reached out to Lap of Love who had helped with the euthanization of a previous pet, and they referred us to Faithful Companion, their cremation partner.When I called to have the company come pick up our boy, they explained that there was one urn and we could get upgraded options for a name on the urn and for a paw print. We opted for both. They said that they would arrive before 10am, and they arrived right around 10. The two workers, Chris and Cole, were very kind and sympathetic, and took care of Champ as they took him out of our home for the last time. The problems started the next day when we received the urn back.The urn did not have his name on it, as I requested in the initial phone call. I called to ask about this and was told that the name only comes on the upgraded urn. I mentioned that I'd never been told that I had any other options in terms of which urn to choose. I asked if we could just pay extra and get the upgraded urn, because it was really important to us to have the gold name plate with our boy's name on it. He said that that wasn't possible because the upgraded urn was a cat statue with the gold plate already on. I asked if they had any dog statues, they said no. I asked if they had any extra gold plates that they could attach to the urn. I was told that he would have to detach it from the cat statue, and that would be difficult, but that he would give me his supervisor's number to speak with him about it.The supervisor was friendly and more accommodating and willing to figure something out. He said that he would search for other gold plates in the morning, but that even so, the name would not be engraved because that isn't their process. We ended up calling another funeral home, and they said it would be absolutely no problem to engrave a name plate and attach it to the urn.I'm honestly not sure why it had to be such a complicated experience to attach a name plate. Especially when the very next funeral home said that they could do it with no problem for $5.This was a really disappointing experience in a time that was already difficult for us in the sudden passing of our dog. And unfortunately, we will not be using this company again, and cannot recommend it to anyone else.UPDATE - I added a star back to the review because of the customer service that I received after this incident. The location manager reached out to me today apologizing for what happened. Although name plates are not something that their company does, as a grieving dog parent, the company should've done more to make sure that our family was taken care of. He offered a sincere apology, a promise to talk with staff about handling situations like this in the future, and an offer for a memorial item to apologize and remedy the situation. It meant a lot that the company reached out, making me know that they have, and want to continue to maintain a great business.

I lost my first dog this past Saturday to cancer and afterwards I was a literal mess. He never liked being alone and, even though I knew he was gone, the uncertainty of when his remains would arrive home weighed heavy on my mind. I was in a fog after he was put down, so I didn’t listen to the lady explaining the process - I just payed my bill and was expecting to see him by the end of the week.To my surprise, the next day I got a phone call that Scout was not only ready to come home - but they were bringing him home. It made the hardest weekend of my life bearable. I can’t express the thanks and appreciation I have for you guys! Scout was my first dog and my first true best friend, and it means a lot to have him back. And to the delivery driver who handled him with such care, Thank you!!

I recently had to put my sidekick of nearly 15 years to sleep and used Faithful Companion with the help of Lap of Love. I was told through Lap of Love that it would likely take a couple days for Faithful Companion to reach out to me regarding when they would be able to return my pet's cremated remains back home to me. To my surprise, not only was the timeline shorter than that, my pet was able to return home to me in less than 24 hours after he passed. When Chris arrived, he was extremely kind and compassionate as he handed delivered a beautiful urn with my pet's name engraved in gold on the cherry red box. He was sure to offer any assistance regarding the loss of my pet and any other help I may have needed. Chris and Faithful Companion left an impression that I will not soon forget in dealing with the loss of my dog and highly recommend them for anyone looking for pet cremation services.

When our beloved pet Skye passed yesterday, we just had to make one call to Faithful Companion to have everything set up quickly for her "last stop". The team was compassionate and pretty straight-forward in helping take care of a dignified funeral for Skye. Very professional and quality service indeed!
Brian Holland
I had a tragic accident Thursday afternoon with my most loved puppers, Copper joe, I took him to medvet emergency and unfortunately the decision came to put him down, I was devastated and they recommended the cremation with this company and I decided to choose that option, in a matter of a few days they had the process finished, and called to deliver my dog back home on a Sunday , the box and paw print I received was amazing , thank you so much
Amanda H
Faithful Companion took care of my sweet pup after he passed. They brought his remains home to me with a paw print that I will always cherish. I appreciate the grief guide and other materials enclosed as well. Their thoughtfulness has helped make a really dark time a little easier. Sending many thanks their way.
Madeleine Wright
We euthanized our elderly dog with cancer with Lap of Love. Cremation with Faithful Companion is part of their private cremation service. They dropped Velma off the same day and we received her ashes the next day. I had a very short interaction with the person who dropped off her ashes, but even in that short time could sense empathy and appreciated their kind words. The box with her name is lovely and we are so happy she "made it back home" so quickly.
Rob
We lost our old boy a couple of days ago and our vet contacted Faithful Companions to handle his remains. Words cannot accurately convey our thanks and gratitude to them. They arrived at our home a few minutes after our boy passed. They were beyond respectful and allowed us to spend as much time with him as we wanted before they took him. There was no rushing us at all. They treated him with respect and dignity while preparing to remove him. We got his remains delivered back to us the next day. There was a problem with his name being spelled wrong on his box and paw print. No only did they replace the affected items, they delivered them to us the same day. The worst part of owning pets is when we have to let them go but these guys helped ease the pain by getting our boy back to use in record speed. Faithful Companions is top notch and went above and beyond in my opinion. As the rest off our pack goes, we will be sure to use this company, without a doubt.
Michael Bell
Yesterday was one of the hardest days as we had to say goodbye to our loving and faithful companion Dakota. There are truly not enough words that could ever tell the entire staff of Faithful Companion how grateful we are for all they did for us.From the first phone call to the last moment of our final goodbye they treated us with a kindness and compassion that I have never experienced before.We opted for a private viewing. From the first moment we arrived to the last Moth was truly amazing. He handled our Dakota with the utmost care and compassion.He explained every detail down to the final moments. His level of compassion was truly amazing. He handled Dakota as if he was his very own.I cannot say enough about Moth and the entire staff of Faithful Companion. You truly made one of the most difficult times easier to deal with. You are truly an amazing group of people.
Kyle Walton
Today I received my pet's ashes and found that both engravings were misspelled. As I opened the items and found these mistakes, my grief turned to anger. I verified on the order confirmation that the name they received was spelled correctly, but it seems the engraver wasn't paying attention that day. They said they can recreate his paw print using the existing item, but it just wouldn't be the same to me as using the actual paw print from his body. Maybe that doesn't matter to some people, but it matters to me. So my choices are to either get a rough copy of his paw print with the correct spelling, or to keep the correct paw print and see his name misspelled. Do not recommend.
Rebecca Hinkle
Once I received a call from our daughter that she couldn’t find our dog, we then received a call from our neighbor that he was hit by a car. I called faithful companion and explained what had happened and explained that we lived off a state route and within those speed limits I was unsure the state his body was in. They offered to come out and pick up our Mickey so my kids (9 and 5) wouldn’t have to see him in that state. They came out within that hour and loaded him up with care. Not even 24 hours later we have him back home. Every person I personally spoke with or had face to face contact with was very caring, kind and was very professional. They truly care about the needs and wants of the loved ones as well as not trying to make an up sale.

Losing a let is a difficult time. Having a service that treats your deceased pet with the ultimate respect makes things a little easier. These folks are great. Thank you.
Barbara Redinger
Recently, our 13-year old Newfoundland passed in our home. In anticipation of her passing, we had searched on line for a facility to assist us with her after her passing. We were very fortunate to inquire into the services provided by Faithful Companion. The staff were responsive to our inquiry and our preferences. When the time came to pick up our girl, Chris and his team were outstanding. Their attention to detail, their demeanor, and their understanding of our loss were more than I expected. Our girl was returned to us this afternoon and again, Chris, provided service above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Faithful Companion staff for providing a service that was truly exceptional.
Marino Vargas
Just went to pick up my dogs ashes and broke down crying while trying to talk to the worker there. The worker was very kind and compassionate ,she even offered a hug. My dogs paw print clay print was very cute and the ash box was good too. Overall very good experience. Prices were fair too.
Caitlin Gault
After just losing my 9 year old boxer Bruce it was so nice to have him back home within a day and have him delivered. From the interactions I had with the workers at Faithful Companion I can say they were so polite and kind. We went throw lap of love and I have amazing things to say about the entire experience. Thank you for all that you do. Families like mine greatly appreciate it.
Michele Daniels
Faithful companion was really nice to deal with when my cat passed away extremely suddenly on a Saturday evening. They were the only place open late on a Saturday that could help. They met me at the door, went over options, and allowed me time to sit with my cat, Rocky, to say goodbye before leaving. I was able to come pick up his ashes the next day and the staff kept a clipping of fur and footprint for me because I asked for it. I really appreciate having such a compassionate person and business to handle this tough time for my family.
Colette Eluna
We had a very positive experience with Faithful Companion Pet Cremation Services. The vet who came to our home for our cat's end of life (Kona's Loving Paws) offered cremation through Faithful Companion Pet Cremation Services. They came to our house while the vet was still there and took Louie. The next day, they delivered Louie's cremains and you could tell the utmost care and attention to detail had been taken in the presentation. Louie's cremains were in a nice wood box with his name engraved on top. They also provided a clay pawprint with his name and even a stand to hold the clay pawprint upright. There was a sympathy card and booklet on grief. They are less expensive than other places I have used and I highly recommend them.

The most compassionate team! They are the best in the business

My wife was in the military and I was a musician, so we never had the opportunity to donate the right amount of time to love a pet. We started loving parrots 12-years ago with a 6-week old African Grey named Cap'n Jack, followed by a Blue front Amazon named Admiral the next year, then Sarge a Green Cheek Conure...a small parrot with the biggest personality. We lost Sarge last Friday, this loving family member that was so much of our daily routine for the past decade. It was are 1st time we experienced such a DEVISTATING LOSS. The staff at Faithful Companion could not have helped us more in honoring Sarge and in simply getting through this horrible time.
Karie Endora
My service dog had to be put down and the vet used faithful companion and their home service. Putting a pet, or service animal down is the absolute worst thing to go thru, so it’s wonderful to know that faithful companion had my back. They were professional, picked her up, had her created, and delivered her remains back to me in 2 days. I highly recommend them, their services and the experience with Kona’s! They made a very hard situation at least pain free of complications. Wonderful service, highly recommended

I was recommended Faithful Companion by a friend. I am glad I chose to work with them after the passing of my pet hedgehog. They offered me fur clippings to have in his memory in addition to his ashes, it means so much to me. I would highly recommend them, very kind and caring staff. they offer beautiful urns and do not return the ashes in a plastic bag- its a nice cloth pouch bag instead. the remains are beautifully put together and done with obvious care.

Having to put down a loving pet is one of life’s hardest decisions. They took care of our “Gracie” girl with the upmost care and consideration. We felt very comforted that she was in such good hands with people who sincerely care. I highly recommend, your fur baby will be well cared for. Thank you for your service and bringing her home to us.

We lost our little chihuahua Lilah, and she was cremated here at Faithful Companion. Thank you all so much for doing right by our little one. The personalized urn, paw print and card means so much to us in this terrible time. We really appreciate your dedication, hard work and sympathy. We won’t forget it.
Shana Edwards
The most amazing and caring experience. Same day short notice service. Brittney was so comforting through the entire process and went above and beyond to make sure we knew our dog was taken care of. His name was engraved on top of his beautiful box. And he was brought to our home the very next day in the most caring way. They were the 1st place I looked into and after talking on the phone I knew we didnt have to look any further. I can not say anything bad about my experience. Our boy was treated as a loved one. We will forever be grateful for the peace of mind you all help us get. Thank you.
Kim Guzzo
We recently had to put our sweet boy Tortuga down. We had Dr. Jennifer at Lap of Love (highly highly recommend) come to the house and Faithful Companion brought his ashes to us in less than 24 hours. The gentleman who delivered our pup back to us was so nice and respectful and delivered his ashes in a beautiful engraved box. I highly recommend this company.
Samuel Shamansky
We called on Faithful Companion during the early evening hours after a local funeral home had closed and refused to accept our beloved pet. Faithful Companion was on our doorstep within 90 minutes and took extraordinary steps to make an almost unbearable situation bearable. From the initial phone call to return of the remains, this group is one of the finest service organizations in the world. Wish I could give them 100 stars.
Danielle Seibert
Thank you so much to Faithful Companion Pet Cremation Services - Ohio for their services. They truly went above and beyond. I contacted them and they came and picked my Allie girl up the same day and dropped off her urn, ashes, and keepsake the very next day. They also included some poems, a card, grief support pamphlets, etc. Truly couldn't have handled this better.
Brandy Krouse
We recently lost our beloved cat. We called Faithful Companion for the first time and were truly blown away by their services. Everyone we worked with their gave top-notch customer service. Really great company!
Connie Rhodes
We were so impressed with the gentleman that brought our beloved Ozzy back home to us. He was professional, well dressed and spoke so caringly. We couldn't be happier with the wooden urn that has his name on it and the beautiful clay paw print. This has been such a sad time but this company really cares and goes the extra distance to show it. I can't say enough good things about this company. I would highly recommend them. We feel so relieved that our Lil guy is back with us. Thank you so much!

I can't Thank this group enough. The caring way they handled my sweet Bella. They made a very hard day a little easier knowing she was well taken care of. They came to my vet's office, which they arranged with our vet for the timing. They brought her back home the following afternoon. I highly recommend this team to help with your beloved furbabies.
Renee Parrill
We lost our sweet baby, Pretzel. She was 17 years old and our daughters grew up with her. Faithful Companion handled her cremation so professionally and they were very compassionate. We were lucky to find such a fantastic service.

Lovely place, they’ve cremated three of our pups before and our most recent one was put down yesterday. We didn’t expect to have him back for about a week but we’re pleasantly surprised when they called to let us know they’d drop him off at our house the by the end of the day today. You guys have always took very good care to bring our dogs back to us. Thank you guys!(Below is a picture of our most recent dog that passed away, Marley)

I lost my first dog this past Saturday to cancer and afterwards I was a literal mess. He never liked being alone and, even though I knew he was gone, the uncertainty of when his remains would arrive home weighed heavy on my mind. I was in a fog after he was put down, so I didn’t listen to the lady explaining the process - I just payed my bill and was expecting to see him by the end of the week.To my surprise, the next day I got a phone call that Scout was not only ready to come home - but they were bringing him home. It made the hardest weekend of my life bearable. I can’t express the thanks and appreciation I have for you guys! Scout was my first dog and my first true best friend, and it means a lot to have him back. And to the delivery driver who handled him with such care, Thank you!!

I recently had to put my sidekick of nearly 15 years to sleep and used Faithful Companion with the help of Lap of Love. I was told through Lap of Love that it would likely take a couple days for Faithful Companion to reach out to me regarding when they would be able to return my pet's cremated remains back home to me. To my surprise, not only was the timeline shorter than that, my pet was able to return home to me in less than 24 hours after he passed. When Chris arrived, he was extremely kind and compassionate as he handed delivered a beautiful urn with my pet's name engraved in gold on the cherry red box. He was sure to offer any assistance regarding the loss of my pet and any other help I may have needed. Chris and Faithful Companion left an impression that I will not soon forget in dealing with the loss of my dog and highly recommend them for anyone looking for pet cremation services.

When our beloved pet Skye passed yesterday, we just had to make one call to Faithful Companion to have everything set up quickly for her "last stop". The team was compassionate and pretty straight-forward in helping take care of a dignified funeral for Skye. Very professional and quality service indeed!
Brian Holland
I had a tragic accident Thursday afternoon with my most loved puppers, Copper joe, I took him to medvet emergency and unfortunately the decision came to put him down, I was devastated and they recommended the cremation with this company and I decided to choose that option, in a matter of a few days they had the process finished, and called to deliver my dog back home on a Sunday , the box and paw print I received was amazing , thank you so much

Faithful Companion took care of my sweet pup after he passed. They brought his remains home to me with a paw print that I will always cherish. I appreciate the grief guide and other materials enclosed as well. Their thoughtfulness has helped make a really dark time a little easier. Sending many thanks their way.
Madeleine Wright
We euthanized our elderly dog with cancer with Lap of Love. Cremation with Faithful Companion is part of their private cremation service. They dropped Velma off the same day and we received her ashes the next day. I had a very short interaction with the person who dropped off her ashes, but even in that short time could sense empathy and appreciated their kind words. The box with her name is lovely and we are so happy she "made it back home" so quickly.
Rob
We lost our old boy a couple of days ago and our vet contacted Faithful Companions to handle his remains. Words cannot accurately convey our thanks and gratitude to them. They arrived at our home a few minutes after our boy passed. They were beyond respectful and allowed us to spend as much time with him as we wanted before they took him. There was no rushing us at all. They treated him with respect and dignity while preparing to remove him. We got his remains delivered back to us the next day. There was a problem with his name being spelled wrong on his box and paw print. No only did they replace the affected items, they delivered them to us the same day. The worst part of owning pets is when we have to let them go but these guys helped ease the pain by getting our boy back to use in record speed. Faithful Companions is top notch and went above and beyond in my opinion. As the rest off our pack goes, we will be sure to use this company, without a doubt.
Michael Bell
Yesterday was one of the hardest days as we had to say goodbye to our loving and faithful companion Dakota. There are truly not enough words that could ever tell the entire staff of Faithful Companion how grateful we are for all they did for us.From the first phone call to the last moment of our final goodbye they treated us with a kindness and compassion that I have never experienced before.We opted for a private viewing. From the first moment we arrived to the last Moth was truly amazing. He handled our Dakota with the utmost care and compassion.He explained every detail down to the final moments. His level of compassion was truly amazing. He handled Dakota as if he was his very own.I cannot say enough about Moth and the entire staff of Faithful Companion. You truly made one of the most difficult times easier to deal with. You are truly an amazing group of people.
Kyle Walton
Today I received my pet's ashes and found that both engravings were misspelled. As I opened the items and found these mistakes, my grief turned to anger. I verified on the order confirmation that the name they received was spelled correctly, but it seems the engraver wasn't paying attention that day. They said they can recreate his paw print using the existing item, but it just wouldn't be the same to me as using the actual paw print from his body. Maybe that doesn't matter to some people, but it matters to me. So my choices are to either get a rough copy of his paw print with the correct spelling, or to keep the correct paw print and see his name misspelled. Do not recommend.
Rebecca Hinkle
Once I received a call from our daughter that she couldn’t find our dog, we then received a call from our neighbor that he was hit by a car. I called faithful companion and explained what had happened and explained that we lived off a state route and within those speed limits I was unsure the state his body was in. They offered to come out and pick up our Mickey so my kids (9 and 5) wouldn’t have to see him in that state. They came out within that hour and loaded him up with care. Not even 24 hours later we have him back home. Every person I personally spoke with or had face to face contact with was very caring, kind and was very professional. They truly care about the needs and wants of the loved ones as well as not trying to make an up sale.
Justin Alloway
These are the people you never want to meet but are so thankful they are there when you do. We had taken our dog, Leo, to MedVet and they offered the cremation. We didn’t know who was going to do it or where it was going to be done. Amazingly the next business day, we get a call from Chris saying he was going to bring Leo home. I was stunned. I thought I would have to pick him up somewhere but about an hour and a half later, Leo was handed to me on our front doorstep by one of the most compassionate people I’ve ever met. We wanted a couple of other keepsakes, so I had additional contact with Nate and Troy and they were also absolutely amazing! Not that I want to start planning for my other pet’s passing, but these will be the people that handle that as well!
Lynnea K
I cannot speak more highly of Faithful Companions. My husband and I were in absolute shock after euthanizing our heartdog Sura, and Faithful Companions, especially Jordan, went above and beyond for us that evening and allowed us to have a wonderful goodbye with our beautiful girl. We elected to stay the entire time during the cremation, going through photos and videos of our dog while we were waiting, and we realized that after we left with her cremains the entire process had actually helped us take a step forward in the grieving journey. Her urn was gorgeous and we took two small vials of her ashes home as well. As a veterinarian who tries to give support during euthanasias to my clients, I was immensely grateful to receive such kindhearted support from Jordan when we lost our own. An enormous thank you to Jordan and the entire Faithful Companions team, I will be recommending you often!
Kylie Lint
I can’t say enough good things about this place. Dave was so kind on the phone when I called, they were accommodating even though our plans changed a few times. Michael was so calm and kind when we arrived. They did such a nice job setting up an area for us to say goodbye. They made a really hard time more peaceful.
Kattie Emmons

Jessica Lahman
I lost my first dog after 12 years, and the people here were incredibly kind and empathetic helping me through. I was so devastated I could barely get a word out trying to give them my details, but they were very patient with me. The guy who assisted with everything even engraved the urn with my dogs name free of charge. Thanks for being so great
Deborah Parliament
Losing our little girl Yinnie was heartbreaking. Every person I interacted at Faithful Companion with was kind, warm and understanding from the very first contact. They made a very difficult time bearable and worked quickly to return our angel to us. I will be forever grateful to Faithful Companion!
Momoftwo
Couldn’t be more happy with this company I will forever recommend them to everyone they took care of my Titan pup . It was very fast and they even wanted to deliver him to my home at no extra charge. A caring loving facility that I will be forever grateful for. Thank you again faithful companion.
Beth S
Thank you for your compassion and kindness. We are grateful for your services.
Amy Keller
Thank you for taking care of our sweet girl, Smarty. She was 18 and this was such a difficult decision. Your excellent service, quality work, and caring employees made a terrible situation better. We thank you so much.
Cami Y
Our boy was cremated here after having an in home euthanasia. He was returned back to us the very next day. Thank you for bringing my Avery back to me so quickly. It’s comforting to have him back home again. The box he is in is very beautiful with his name engraving.
Jeff Stamps
Losing a let is a difficult time. Having a service that treats your deceased pet with the ultimate respect makes things a little easier. These folks are great. Thank you.
Barbara Redinger
Recently, our 13-year old Newfoundland passed in our home. In anticipation of her passing, we had searched on line for a facility to assist us with her after her passing. We were very fortunate to inquire into the services provided by Faithful Companion. The staff were responsive to our inquiry and our preferences. When the time came to pick up our girl, Chris and his team were outstanding. Their attention to detail, their demeanor, and their understanding of our loss were more than I expected. Our girl was returned to us this afternoon and again, Chris, provided service above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Faithful Companion staff for providing a service that was truly exceptional.
Marino Vargas
Just went to pick up my dogs ashes and broke down crying while trying to talk to the worker there. The worker was very kind and compassionate ,she even offered a hug. My dogs paw print clay print was very cute and the ash box was good too. Overall very good experience. Prices were fair too.
Caitlin Gault
After just losing my 9 year old boxer Bruce it was so nice to have him back home within a day and have him delivered. From the interactions I had with the workers at Faithful Companion I can say they were so polite and kind. We went throw lap of love and I have amazing things to say about the entire experience. Thank you for all that you do. Families like mine greatly appreciate it.
Michele Daniels
Faithful companion was really nice to deal with when my cat passed away extremely suddenly on a Saturday evening. They were the only place open late on a Saturday that could help. They met me at the door, went over options, and allowed me time to sit with my cat, Rocky, to say goodbye before leaving. I was able to come pick up his ashes the next day and the staff kept a clipping of fur and footprint for me because I asked for it. I really appreciate having such a compassionate person and business to handle this tough time for my family.
Colette Eluna
We had a very positive experience with Faithful Companion Pet Cremation Services. The vet who came to our home for our cat's end of life (Kona's Loving Paws) offered cremation through Faithful Companion Pet Cremation Services. They came to our house while the vet was still there and took Louie. The next day, they delivered Louie's cremains and you could tell the utmost care and attention to detail had been taken in the presentation. Louie's cremains were in a nice wood box with his name engraved on top. They also provided a clay pawprint with his name and even a stand to hold the clay pawprint upright. There was a sympathy card and booklet on grief. They are less expensive than other places I have used and I highly recommend them.
Lawrence Titus
My wife was in the military and I was a musician, so we never had the opportunity to donate the right amount of time to love a pet. We started loving parrots 12-years ago with a 6-week old African Grey named Cap'n Jack, followed by a Blue front Amazon named Admiral the next year, then Sarge a Green Cheek Conure...a small parrot with the biggest personality. We lost Sarge last Friday, this loving family member that was so much of our daily routine for the past decade. It was are 1st time we experienced such a DEVISTATING LOSS. The staff at Faithful Companion could not have helped us more in honoring Sarge and in simply getting through this horrible time.
Karie Endora
My service dog had to be put down and the vet used faithful companion and their home service. Putting a pet, or service animal down is the absolute worst thing to go thru, so it’s wonderful to know that faithful companion had my back. They were professional, picked her up, had her created, and delivered her remains back to me in 2 days. I highly recommend them, their services and the experience with Kona’s! They made a very hard situation at least pain free of complications. Wonderful service, highly recommended
mckenna walters
I was recommended Faithful Companion by a friend. I am glad I chose to work with them after the passing of my pet hedgehog. They offered me fur clippings to have in his memory in addition to his ashes, it means so much to me. I would highly recommend them, very kind and caring staff. they offer beautiful urns and do not return the ashes in a plastic bag- its a nice cloth pouch bag instead. the remains are beautifully put together and done with obvious care.
Isaac Wilden
We lost our little chihuahua Lilah, and she was cremated here at Faithful Companion. Thank you all so much for doing right by our little one. The personalized urn, paw print and card means so much to us in this terrible time. We really appreciate your dedication, hard work and sympathy. We won’t forget it.
Amity Dee
A wonderful company which made an unbearable situation easier for my family. To have my Diva’s ashes returned to my front door in such a short period of time and never having to leave my house gave me the time I need to grieve in private. As sad as I am for my own loss, to have her ashes home means the world to me. I’m thankful companies like this exist during my difficult time of need. Thank you so much.
IT Sundae
The polite demeanor expressed by the secretary and the person who delivered my pet was incredibly comforting. I'm satisfied by the quality of the urn and clay mold I bought. I can tell they will last a long time.
Mallory Smith
Michael was so kind, I was referred by medvet and didn’t have much information about what private cremation entailed. Getting my Monty delivered and a clay paw print were beyond my expectations and extremely comforting. Thank you guys ❤️
Lilbeth Castro
Thanks for taking care of my dog. He pass away last October 3 it was a Saturday late afternoon and the only place that I found was faithful companion so thanks for everything highly recommended!! I really appreciate it ! God bless you. Oso was his name .
Tina Campbell
I just wanna say I’m really disappointed in the box that I received my cats remains in. I called them and the lady was not helpful at all. I paid $330 for my cat to be cremated and for the box to not be some thing that I wanted really upsets me I’m already going through a hard time by losing my pet.
Tracy Seiler
I really appreciate your compassion and professionalism during a very difficult time for me. RIP Frankie. I'll see you on the rainbow bridge. ♡
Lucinda Thomson
What a wonderful place, they provide a wonderful service to pet owners. They even returned my precious rabbit home after the cremation, carefully transported.Friendly and courteous staff. Thank you for services.

Just an absolutely wonderful facility; compassionate, expedited delivery, great communication and service. 50 stars easily!!
Anne Nunez
Thank you so much for making the process of losing Toby easier on me. All of the staff I spoke to were extremely kind and considerate, not to sound grim but I will be back for future passings. Thank you all so much.
lauren mcclamma
Thank you for taking such good care of our family.
Shana Edwards
The most amazing and caring experience. Same day short notice service. Brittney was so comforting through the entire process and went above and beyond to make sure we knew our dog was taken care of. His name was engraved on top of his beautiful box. And he was brought to our home the very next day in the most caring way. They were the 1st place I looked into and after talking on the phone I knew we didnt have to look any further. I can not say anything bad about my experience. Our boy was treated as a loved one. We will forever be grateful for the peace of mind you all help us get. Thank you.
Kim Guzzo
We recently had to put our sweet boy Tortuga down. We had Dr. Jennifer at Lap of Love (highly highly recommend) come to the house and Faithful Companion brought his ashes to us in less than 24 hours. The gentleman who delivered our pup back to us was so nice and respectful and delivered his ashes in a beautiful engraved box. I highly recommend this company.
Samuel Shamansky
We called on Faithful Companion during the early evening hours after a local funeral home had closed and refused to accept our beloved pet. Faithful Companion was on our doorstep within 90 minutes and took extraordinary steps to make an almost unbearable situation bearable. From the initial phone call to return of the remains, this group is one of the finest service organizations in the world. Wish I could give them 100 stars.
Danielle Seibert
Thank you so much to Faithful Companion Pet Cremation Services - Ohio for their services. They truly went above and beyond. I contacted them and they came and picked my Allie girl up the same day and dropped off her urn, ashes, and keepsake the very next day. They also included some poems, a card, grief support pamphlets, etc. Truly couldn't have handled this better.
Brandy Krouse
