It’s been a little over a month since we had to very unexpectedly say goodbye to our precious girl Lucky! It was the worst decision my family and I have had to make. We live 2 hours away from the hospital and my husband didn’t think he could mentally handle burying her. So, we decided we would do cremation, so if we ever moved, we could always have her with us! When handed the brochure with the different options of crematories, the one that caught our eye first was Patriot Pet as we LOVE America, and so it felt right! The owner Dean is a retired Army Veteran, and from the moment he first answered the phone, he was so polite and respectful and explained everything in detail while doing his best to not upset me more than I already was. Knowing my girl was being handled with such care and respect and the fact that we were able to support a Veteran in his business made this process easier to handle. I knew we made the right decision and my family, and I will forever be thankful for Dean and how he treated all of us. And the cherry on top- when we pulled up, he was waiting outside and took his hat off and bowed his head in respect that we had lost our precious dog. I highly recommend him if you ever find yourself needing such services. Your animal will be treated with the utmost respect and dignity! Thank you, Dean! 🐾

My precious dog Presley died this week.I called Patriot Pet Cremation and spoke to the owner and operator “Dean Achord “and knew he could be trustworthy through this sorrowful time.He picked up my girl at my home, texted when he was close-right on time when he said he would be, and was extremely caring and a well-mannered gentleman.I made arrangements to pick up my girl’s ashes and Google brought me right there to his establishment no problem.The drive was pleasant and I had time to reflect on memories.When I was there, I wasn’t pushed to buy any extras and there are a lot of beautiful plaques, urns, slate, roadside memorials, and custom signage you can purchase.I would not trust any one else to pick up and hold a private cremation for any of my pets except Patriot Pet Cremation, and he is a surviving disabled vet.So, if that awful time comes and you are panicked and can’t think, just give Dean a call and he will put you at ease; thank you Patriot Pet Cremation.

I called Patriotic Pet Cremation a few weeks before our dog passed to get information and a sense of this business. Dean is professional, respectful and kind. I was very satisfied with our conversation and knew I could trust him when the dreaded day came. When we were ready for his services, I felt a sense of calm knowing Dean would get us through this. Our Romeo was in good hands. It is an easy drive to his business. Dean was waiting and ready when we arrived. The shop is immaculate with many nice items for sale to remember your pet and other items as well. Many thanks, Dean.We also thank you for your service to our great country! 🇺🇸

Dean Achord is an outstanding respectful individual that made this process bearable. Beauregard was more than a pet he was our family. Dean went above and beyond to help us cope with terrible experience but with his help and expertise Bobo is back home with his family. If you love your fur babies as we do this is the only place period to give them the respect and dignity they deserve. Thank you sir we will never forget the support and respect you showed us and our beloved Bobo. God bless you sir!

From my first phone call until I got my baby girl picked up I felt so much peace in communicating. He did a beautiful job with our babies urn and keychain. So thankful for him being open 24/7 as our girl passed at around 8/9 at night. Other places I would have had to wait until morning to even call.
Jennifer Duncan
Dean went above and beyond to make sure that Bo was taken care of. I called him at 8:30 at night, and he very kindly explained the process to me. We were able to bring to him last night, where he treated him with the utmost dignity and respect. I cannot thank you enough for taking care of my family in this time of grief.

One of the hardest things in life is to loose a precious pet. Our cat Alvin was 16 1/2 years old. He has been a part of our family for a long time. After the tough decision was made to finally let him go and be at peace the next thing was what do we do with our baby. So at this moment I found Patriot Pet Cremation. I read everything about the business and I was sold. I contacted the owner Dean and made the arrangements to bring my boy to him. As hard as the day was meeting Dean and seeing the business first hand and all the options we had my wife and I felt at ease that this is the right decision. Dean walked us through the process and he took the upmost compassionate care for Alvin. The next day I picked Alvin’s urn and was completely satisfied with Deans work. Highly recommend Patriot Pet Cremation and Thank you Dean and Thank you for your service
Perpangular
Can't recommend Patriot Pet Cremation enough. Dean understands the importance and value of what we've lost. Outstanding service, environment, and a great human being. Forget all the "assembly line" and waiting games with the other cremation places. Patriot Pet Cremation is the one you want. 10 Stars. Thank you
M Dugger
Updated:I lost Molly, my furry little soulmate on 2/29/24. Devastation doesn't cover the feeling! So many years of love, just gone, she was my Heart. Having to think about the next steps after suffering the loss is incredibly hard but I am so pleased with how Molly was cared for after. Patriotic Patriot Pet Cremation is really wonderful, especially when you are not together in the moment! Just a general sense of comfort, care, and respect! He helped make a heartbreaking moment feel peaceful. I can't tell you just how comforting it is to see someone be so respectful at this moment. It means everything to know that the soul you have cherished for so long is in loving hands. I took her that same day and she was back home with me the next. It is not the same, it never will be, but having her here, in whatever form, comforts me a little. I hope you don't need this service, but if you do I can promise you that you will not regret having Dean care for your loved one! You see the respect as you arrive and feel it when you leave! I posted pictures but my lighting does not do the justice of showing the smooth and beautiful quality of his work! God Bless you Sir and Thank You for your Service, for life and after.(6 months prior to the above)I was amazed and grateful for the amount of respect given for my cat, Ghost. I honestly didn't expect it because a lot of people don't understand what it's like to love a pet as part of the family. He absolutely did though. It made the experience peaceful and I appreciate that. Now I can have Ghost with me and in a beautiful memorial Urn. There are two as I am sharing with another family member that loved him as much as I did. I HIGHLY recommend Dean for the care your fur baby deserves when the time comes. Not only was the service exceptional but pricing was as well for the quality you are getting. Thank you again Sir!!
Sandra Baker
Our precious Baby Girl, Sadie Mae, crossed the Rainbow Bridge Saturday, February 10, 2024 at 5:20 pm, after filling our hearts and lives with unconditional love for 15 years and 4 months. Dean picked her up, took care of her and returned her to our home the next afternoon.It’s been 2 weeks today and I’m just now able to write this review. Dean is a wonderful person and did a very professional job. He not only did his job well, but showed great love, care and respect for my baby.This world needs more people like him.Also, thank you for your service to our country.
Donna G
I wish I had known about Patriot Pet Cremation with our other beloved pets. Dean went above and beyond to make sure my son's eight year old guinea pig, Charlemagne, was taken care of with dignity and respect. It was late when I phoned him the night Charlemagne died and he did his cremation the next morning. He was very kind and professional. He explained the process from start to finish. I cannot thank him enough for taking care of our family. Animals, no matter how big or small, become a member of your family and Dean understands this! Again, thank you!

Morningstar Jaynes
It was extremely hard for us to send our beautiful boy Bear across the rainbow bridge today, as we had gone through this only a month ago with another of our senior fur baby’s. Our sister recommended Dean at Patriot Pet Cremation to help us through the process. Dean was a godsend for us with his understanding of what we’ve been through, his patience as he explained to us the process, answering all our questions and the humble respect we could feel from him for our sweet boy. Prices are very reasonable and service was fast (within 24 hrs). Dean, thank you so much for your dedication, empathy and humbleness in taking care of people and their fur babies in one of the hardest situations one can imagine.
Rick
This is a little hard but it is what it is. On 26th of Aug we had to send our oldest one 17 (Britches ) over the Rainbow Bridge. Dean took great care of her. Then on the 29th we lost her daughter 14 due to failing gall bladder. Dean did the same for her. All of this in the same week. He made the whole ordeal much easier. Thank you for all of your kindness and respect for our fur babies. To anyone that may needs this service we highly recommend Patriot Pet cremation
Luke Bowlin
Sadly our little girl, Peanut passed away this morning to join her sister Butter. Like Butter, Dean took care of her like she was his own; giving her the respect and care that she deserves after being such a loving and loyal companion for 15 years. There’s no one else I trust to take care of me and my wife’s babies than Dean; he is an outstanding and professional individual with a big heart! I not only thank him for his dedicated service to this great nation, but also giving back to the community; ensuring all our families gain closure after losing one of our furry friends, and that they are given a proper memorial that they deserve as well! Dean, to say you are a blessing is an understatement; on behalf of me and my wife, thank you, brother, from the bottom of our hearts!!
Toni Foreman
I would highly recommend Patriot Pet Cremation. Mr. Achord was very kind and respectful after the loss of our Ruby. I didn't know what to expect but the process was handled in such a professional manner that I would not hesitate to use his services again.
Tammy Martin
There are no words to describe how much we appreciate what Mr Dean done for our fur baby Ozzie. We lost Ozzie tragically July 3,2024. Being that there was no veterinarian open because of holiday. I found Patriots Pet Cremation on Google and called him at almost 9 pm July 4th. He was so compassionate and told me to bring Ozzie. I had over a 1 hour drive to get to him. Mr Dean was waiting for us and greated us. He took such good care of Ozzie. Knowing he cremated him with is favorite things. And sent me a picture of his dog tag. That will always be with Ozzie for identity. And also sent me picture of when Ozzie was ready. I knew when I left that night. A huge weight was lifted off my chest. Knowing Ozzie was in good hands and we was going to be loved. I picked Ozzie up around 5:30pm on the 5th. And I couldn't have been happier knowing that he was coming home to his resting place and that I had All of Ozzie. Thank you so much for your service, compassion, and making sure we had our boy back! I'm so glad we have someone like you to do this for us!! Our Ozzie is home and he is with us always!!

Dean was so professional and caring in our time of need. Very attentive, gave us time, answered questions fully. What a great asset for our area. Thank you for taking care of our Buddy.
Kayla Smith
Patriot Pet Cremation done an amazing job helping us feel comfortable and safe leaving our dog Scooby with them. They were patient and reassuring throughout the whole process. A better job could not have been done anywhere else. We are entirely grateful to Patriot Pet Cremation.
Ashley Ison
Patriot Pet Cremation is a hidden gem. Let’s face it, if you are searching for a pet cremation business you are going through a horrible time in your life. Dean is so compassionate, understanding and incredibly professional. He made me feel like he really cared about my Frazier and that was so important to me. I felt comfortable leaving my boy to his care. He kept me updated and sent pictures of the engraving for my approval. The urn was just what I wanted and I purchased an additional engraved plaque with his picture. It is absolutely stunning. Not only did Dean serve our country, he came back to serve his community and he’s doing it beautifully. Thank you Dean for making this terrible time a little easier and showing such respect to me and my Frazier.
Breaca Judd
Phenomenal experience in a most difficult time. We and our dear Minnie were treated with the utmost kindness and respect. Highly recommend!
Cory Cox
Dean took care of assisting our Great Dane, Klaus, to the rainbow bridge. He made one of the worst, most stressful days of mine and my wife’s life so much easier. You would be hard pressed to find another guy in the area with as much compassion and empathy as Dean. He took care of everything once we got there. A beautiful, laser engraved wood box as the urn, and my wife got a fantastic necklace so Klaus can be with her everywhere she goes. I would 100% recommend Patriot Pet Cremation to anyone that is going through what we went through. Dean will make you feel at home, completely assured that your pet is going to be taken care of as well as any other family member. We still talk about how much we appreciate the kindness we experienced.
Christine Schons
Thank you for taking care of both Brice in 2019 and our Leah this week. Dean and Angelique are so kind and respectful when caring for your beloved babies. Both of our fur babies were large dogs over 100 lbs. The vet wanted more than $400 and it would take weeks to get our babies back. We are so greatful for their service and professionalism. No one ever wants to use such services but I wouldn't entrust my babies to anyone else. Thank you again.
Samantha Jones
Patriot Pet Cremation was wonderful when we needed the care and support after our Bailey passed. We were able to take her body late in the evening and picked up her ashes the next afternoon. We love the wooden box she is in and I wear her ashes in the necklace they also had available. There were so many different urns and accessories to choose from, and now they offer laser engraving to personalize anything. PPC is amazing to work with, patient, and very understanding! We plan on having many things laser engraved from them in the future, as well!
Tracy Hancock
Thank you both so much for taking care of my Aries and bringing him back to us. With such short notice, on a Sunday night, my son reached out and you told him to come on over. We had just found him and he had died from defending his sister from a bear. Your kindness eased my son that night. The timing was perfect because your wife was coming our way the next day. You made it happen and we were able to bring our boy home. Such respect was felt by us all and the love is so genuine and appreciated. Thank you for what you did for our family and thank you for your service 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Linda Daniels
Our girl Grace passed unexpectedly June 5, 2020. Although she was a senior and had some health problems, her death was extremely devastating for us. When I called Dean to ask for his hours, his response was, "I'm here when you need me" ... and he was. We made the one hour drive and arrived after hours to find him waiting for our arrival. First of all, I will say the grounds and facility were pristine... but most impressive was not only the compassion he showed to Garry and me, but the respect and dignity he showed to Grace... UTMOST! During the evening, his communication to us was so reassuring. When we arrived to pick up Grace's remains today, we saw not only the same compassion but the care and attention shown in preparation for us to bring Grace home. Even at the time of our sorrow, Dean's attention to every detail did not go unnoticed... down to his standing attentive to our departure with our beloved girl. Such respect! I'm sorry I can only give 5 stars. Patriot Pet Cremation is worthy of so much more. My eternal thanks to Dean for making an unbearable heartbreak bearable for us and for taking such beautiful care of our Grace.
Lauren Dunn
We lost our Bella the day before Thanksgiving. We called Patriot Pet Cremation and he told us to come straight there no hesitation at all. Dean is such a respectful caring man. He helped with picking out the urn to bring Bella home in and he also even took the time to show me all the different fonts he had to engrave her name! He sent me pictures once’s he was done and of her tag he sent with her through the process. When we got there to pick her up he also had made an ornament with a paw print and her name with wings on it. He made a very sad day a little easier! Thank you for your service and your caring heart for animals!
Loretta Miller
Dean was so compassionate and caring at a tough time in our lives. He does beautiful work! I would recommend him.
Christopher Burton (Chris)
I never expect to have such a beautiful and thoughtful experience with the passing of my best friend, Chopper. I’ve been expecting this since February of 2019 when his health first started to decline. I started planning in February because I knew I’d need to set the wheels in motion quickly, or else my mental health would deteriorate too fast for me to act.I will recommend Dean and Patriot Pet Cremation to every single person I know because not only was Dean highly professional, but he was thoughtful, and I could tell he truly cared about the work he is doing. Not just with my Chopper but with every animal that comes to him. Dean is doing something purely from the heart, from his desire to continue serving his community and to provide people with something our fur kids haven’t gotten in this area before...dignity in death.I miss Chopper more than anything, the pain I feel now is incomprehensible. I’m thankful for people like Dean who know just how painful this experience can be. Combined with the willingness to let those who have suffered great loss mourn their loss in their own unique way. The interpersonal connection I formed with Dean was immediate like I’d known him a life time already.Thank you so much for providing this service to the greater Tri-Cities community and for having your services made available day and night...because great tragedies don’t always happen when it’s most convenient. I know Chopper was lovingly looked after through the entire process.Best regards,Chris Burton and my sweet angel Chopper

Our precious Baby Girl, Sadie Mae, crossed the Rainbow Bridge Saturday, February 10, 2024 at 5:20 pm, after filling our hearts and lives with unconditional love for 15 years and 4 months. Dean picked her up, took care of her and returned her to our home the next afternoon.It’s been 2 weeks today and I’m just now able to write this review. Dean is a wonderful person and did a very professional job. He not only did his job well, but showed great love, care and respect for my baby.This world needs more people like him.Also, thank you for your service to our country.
Amber
I can not recommend Dean enough. Total sense of care and respect! He helped make the most heartbreaking moment feel peaceful. It was comforting to see someone be so respectful when you are a wreck and heartbroken. It means everything to know that my precious Duke who we cherished and loved unconditionally for so long in loving hands with someone who you can truly tell cares. Thank you Dean for your kindness and special thank you for your service to our country, and you continue to serve all the fur baby families. Justin & myself can’t thank you enough!
Gary Turnipseed
Dean's compassion and attention to detail are just world class! He understands the emotional duress his customers have at the loss of a family member and truly cares about people and their pets that have passed. We'll recommend Dean to our family/friends because we had a truly wonderful experience at Patriot Pet Cremation.
Karla Mahon
If I could, I would give so many more stars than 5 to Patriot Pet Cremation. Dean was empathetic, professional, helpful and respectful. He provided a dignified cremation for my baby girl, Franny. I would recommend this company, tenfold, to anyone who is in need of this type of service, or for any of your engraving needs.
sharon fletcher
When Jon and I lost our child Peanut, Dean was there to help guide us through the process of his cremation. Unless you are a pet parent you can not understand the grief one feels for the loss of a pet. Dean understood this and respected us through our grieving process. We highly recommend him.
Kelly Kaczar
On 4/1/24 I lost my 13.5 year old Pug Harlee. I was soul crushed and panicking on how to give her the dignity she deserved as I didn’t want to bury her. Within an hour of her passing, we made it to Patriot Pet Cremation. Dean was waiting for us when we pulled up and the respect he showed for the experience we were going through was truly welcomed. The amount of detail he puts into his work and empathy he shows was again truly welcomed. I was so grateful to send off my sweet Harlee to her forever resting spot with Dean. The dog tag he makes for your pet is just another extra dignity piece provided, she had been by my side since she was a baby and she served as a best friend and her having her dog tag showed her duty was over. I cannot express enough how respectful and communicative about the process Dean was, and I cannot imagine using anyone else for this process. Being able to pick her up the next day to bring her home was appreciated as well, and it was a very private experience which was welcomed because you didn’t have someone else grieving behind you waiting. The one on one experience was appreciated. Thank you again so much for the respect and dignity you gave my family and my sweet pup, and thank you for giving her her last pet for me.
Sky Baker
When I say this place deserves more than 5 Stars I mean it. We lost our Boston (Bobo) recently late in the evening and needed someone to do his cremation.Dean quickly returned a call we made, and was so professional and caring about our sweet boy. He treats your pets just as you should another human. He talks you through the process and doesn't try to take advantage of you for a simple cremation. He even allows you to spend as much time as you need for your goodbyes with your best friend.There is no better human than this man when it comes to taking care of your furbabies after life. I would recommend a million times to go here if you want the absolute most respect and care, that you and your pet could receive.

I contacted the owner, Dean, this morning and he came out within an hour or so and picked up my parents beloved dog for cremation. I am picking her up within a window of 5 hours. Dean is very professional and easy to communicate with and his shop is spotless and professional. I would trust him with any beloved pet to treat them and the owners with compassion and dignity during a very difficult time.
Kimberly Cline
I have not personally used this service, but my son and daughter in law called and needed to get their dog that had just been euthanized took care of. They were told to come right on and were welcomed when they arrived. They were treated with compassion, kindness and also comforted. They were having such a hard time and overwhelmed with sadness, but couldn't give enough praise for the help and support they received from this awesome business. They were able to pick up their baby the next day, in the most beautiful Rosewood box and take him home! I highly recommend this service and appreciate the love them and their furbaby was shown..
Katherine Brazelle
We could not of been treated better at a funeral home arranging cremation for a human loved one. The gentleman that met us when we pulled up was so respectful. The prices for my fur babies urn and cremation were very reasonable. Id recommend this business 100%
Jessica Mullins
This was the second time we have used Dean for our pet cremation and could not be happier with the service provided. He handled our beloved Darcy and us with the utmost respect. Since our last experience with him 2 years ago, he has increased the variety of urns and mementos that he offers. He completed a beautiful engraving of our girl on her urn. I cannot recommend Dean and his services enough!
Donna G
I wish I had known about Patriot Pet Cremation with our other beloved pets. Dean went above and beyond to make sure my son's eight year old guinea pig, Charlemagne, was taken care of with dignity and respect. It was late when I phoned him the night Charlemagne died and he did his cremation the next morning. He was very kind and professional. He explained the process from start to finish. I cannot thank him enough for taking care of our family. Animals, no matter how big or small, become a member of your family and Dean understands this! Again, thank you!

He was kind and understanding, has a beautiful shop and promised to take care of our boy.. he did just that! Thank you Dean it made our horrible event easier to have closure. With much gratitude..

It was extremely hard for us to send our beautiful boy Bear across the rainbow bridge today, as we had gone through this only a month ago with another of our senior fur baby’s. Our sister recommended Dean at Patriot Pet Cremation to help us through the process. Dean was a godsend for us with his understanding of what we’ve been through, his patience as he explained to us the process, answering all our questions and the humble respect we could feel from him for our sweet boy. Prices are very reasonable and service was fast (within 24 hrs). Dean, thank you so much for your dedication, empathy and humbleness in taking care of people and their fur babies in one of the hardest situations one can imagine.

This is a little hard but it is what it is. On 26th of Aug we had to send our oldest one 17 (Britches ) over the Rainbow Bridge. Dean took great care of her. Then on the 29th we lost her daughter 14 due to failing gall bladder. Dean did the same for her. All of this in the same week. He made the whole ordeal much easier. Thank you for all of your kindness and respect for our fur babies. To anyone that may needs this service we highly recommend Patriot Pet cremation
Luke Bowlin
Sadly our little girl, Peanut passed away this morning to join her sister Butter. Like Butter, Dean took care of her like she was his own; giving her the respect and care that she deserves after being such a loving and loyal companion for 15 years. There’s no one else I trust to take care of me and my wife’s babies than Dean; he is an outstanding and professional individual with a big heart! I not only thank him for his dedicated service to this great nation, but also giving back to the community; ensuring all our families gain closure after losing one of our furry friends, and that they are given a proper memorial that they deserve as well! Dean, to say you are a blessing is an understatement; on behalf of me and my wife, thank you, brother, from the bottom of our hearts!!
Toni Foreman
I would highly recommend Patriot Pet Cremation. Mr. Achord was very kind and respectful after the loss of our Ruby. I didn't know what to expect but the process was handled in such a professional manner that I would not hesitate to use his services again.
Tammy Martin
There are no words to describe how much we appreciate what Mr Dean done for our fur baby Ozzie. We lost Ozzie tragically July 3,2024. Being that there was no veterinarian open because of holiday. I found Patriots Pet Cremation on Google and called him at almost 9 pm July 4th. He was so compassionate and told me to bring Ozzie. I had over a 1 hour drive to get to him. Mr Dean was waiting for us and greated us. He took such good care of Ozzie. Knowing he cremated him with is favorite things. And sent me a picture of his dog tag. That will always be with Ozzie for identity. And also sent me picture of when Ozzie was ready. I knew when I left that night. A huge weight was lifted off my chest. Knowing Ozzie was in good hands and we was going to be loved. I picked Ozzie up around 5:30pm on the 5th. And I couldn't have been happier knowing that he was coming home to his resting place and that I had All of Ozzie. Thank you so much for your service, compassion, and making sure we had our boy back! I'm so glad we have someone like you to do this for us!! Our Ozzie is home and he is with us always!!

Dean was so professional and caring in our time of need. Very attentive, gave us time, answered questions fully. What a great asset for our area. Thank you for taking care of our Buddy.
Kayla Smith
Patriot Pet Cremation done an amazing job helping us feel comfortable and safe leaving our dog Scooby with them. They were patient and reassuring throughout the whole process. A better job could not have been done anywhere else. We are entirely grateful to Patriot Pet Cremation.
Ashley Ison
Patriot Pet Cremation is a hidden gem. Let’s face it, if you are searching for a pet cremation business you are going through a horrible time in your life. Dean is so compassionate, understanding and incredibly professional. He made me feel like he really cared about my Frazier and that was so important to me. I felt comfortable leaving my boy to his care. He kept me updated and sent pictures of the engraving for my approval. The urn was just what I wanted and I purchased an additional engraved plaque with his picture. It is absolutely stunning. Not only did Dean serve our country, he came back to serve his community and he’s doing it beautifully. Thank you Dean for making this terrible time a little easier and showing such respect to me and my Frazier.
Joseph Jones
Dean was extremely thoughtful throughout the entire process. He worked with us on an incredibly short turnaround, late and on a holiday weekend. Super professional, very kind, and I’m beyond grateful for the service he provided. Absolutely recommend!
Sean Harris
This man is the most compassionate man I've ever met. He actually feels your pain. He doesn't rush you to make decisions. He is letting me come back to receive the remains and pay him in 2 weeks when I get paid again. Its great that the man understands things happen with pets unexpectedly, and the ability to pay at the moment isnt always possible. When the time comes to say good bye to your beloved pet, this is the place to go for the services required. Essentially this place feels like a funeral home for pets. It's very quiet and calming. He makes this part of the grieving process a bit less stressful.Sir, you are the reason people regain faith in humanity. If the world even had 10 more of you it would be a better place. Thank you so much for your service and for taking care of my beloved Sadie. You are truly an angel.
Kara Werner
We only experienced wonderful things with Patriot Pet Cremation. We had called Dean on the way to the vet with our sick dog on a Saturday and let him know after 5 o'clock, we would like to bring him if we could in order to have him cremated. He immediately told us he would be ready, and we were able to take our sweet boy there straight from his euthanasia. I felt he was so respectful of our pet, of us, and explained things very well. Our boy was ready to bring home in less than 24 hours. Obviously, if you need this service, you've experienced a catastrophic loss in your life, but the care and dignity we and our pet received with Dean is something I will never forget. Thank you so much for what you did for us during such a painful time in our lives.
Susan Lee
My words can never express the genuine comfort and kindness I received from Mr. Dean.I was in grief and alone.Mr. Dean immediately comforted me with words and true compassion. He assured me Sweet Pea would be treated with respect. One look in his eyes and I knew this to be true.Thank you for your service as a Patriot and as a compassionate genuine human.
Amanda Sockriter
We lost our beautiful Bella girl yesterday who has been apart of the family for 12 years. I called pretty late (9 pm) but he called me back in less then 10 mins. Dean was understanding,sincere,sympathetic, and so kind. He told me i could of brought her the same night but unfortunately I had to wait until the next morning to bring her to him. This man was so noble! As we were pulling up he stood outside at the front door with his hands behind his back and greeted us. He was sincere and sympathetic helping us carry bella in. Upon walking in, I knew we picked the right place to Honor our Bella Girl. He then showed us different memorials that were fairly priced and so beautiful! He even suggested he put a little in a small bag for when we purchase a key chain for our son. He made the entire process a little calmer even though our hearts are shattered. When leaving, he followed us out and he gave his condolences….. but what got me, he stood outside with his hands behind his back again but this time with head down and waited for us to leave. (I noticed all of this from our rear view mirror bc we backed in our vehicle) I felt a rush of warmth and knew right then and there that our Bella Girl was at the right place! For a man that never got the chance to meet her and to have me feel like you were mourning her passing too, you are a very SPECIAL human being! We would like to thank you for all that you do! You deserve so much more recognition! You exceed 20 stars! Although our lives have changed forever. You helped us bring her back home forever with such honor.Thank you so much!Amanda, Skyler, Shane
Ashley Weaver
My family lost our dog Sunday night. I googled ceramtion for dogs and patriot pet popped up. I just knew in my heart this is were we needed to go. I called and Dean answered very quickly and was very professional and polite. Also this was after hours and he told us to take our time and he would be waiting for us when we arrived. After a 40 minute drive we arrived and was greeted with so much respect and sympathy. I knew as soon as we arrived we had made the right decision. I feel like our fur baby was in great hands and treated with so much digity and respect. I just want to thank patriot pet for there great service that was provided. I would highly recommend this local company owned by a Veteran that fought for our freedom. My family appreciates all that Dean did for our family.
Kelsey Mitchem
Patriot Pet Cremation was the most kind, compassionate, and empathetic business I could ever imagine to have come across in such an emotional moment of my life. I lost my best friend of 13 years to a worst circumstance kind of day. Dixie was the best girl a girl could ask for and she deserved soo much more than the way she left this world. With that in mind I knew I had to care for her remains with the most love I could find.It was almost 7 pm before I even made the call to Patriot Pet Cremation; Dean answered very quickly and was empathetic with my very emotional self from that very moment on.Dean gave ample amounts of information (including a brochure) about his business in a very timely manner (via text) as well as directions.When I arrived Dean was Respectfully waiting for our arrival and kindly explained to me the options he had available for the process (All of which are incredibly dignified and respectful to your family pet.) As I was falling apart. He waited. He listened. And he genuinely cared to hear it all.We went inside where Dean continued to give me as much time as I needed and informed me of every step that would be taken to care for Dixie. All of which are extremely thoughtful and truly above and beyond services for a grieving person.I left with a beautiful necklace Urn that allowed me to keep Dixie close with me every where I go for the rest of our days. There were so many options for how you could wish to keep and display your beloved pet that no one could possibly walk away disappointed.I couldn’t easily go into every single detail that made the worst experience ever so much easier on me- because there were just too many to name, so, I’ll simply tell you that I hope you never have the need to call this kind of business but if you do- this is the best place you could possibly go.
Julie Pressley
Compassionate and thoughtful is how Dean took care of our Shepherd. I’m very grateful to him.
Jamie Tullock
Highly recommend. Very compassionate, and fast. Dean is a very kind man, and I appreciate him taking good care of our Jewels. Very satisfied.
Megan Purkey
This gentleman was so respectful and a pleasure to work with. He made a very difficult situation feel pleasant. I would highly recommend using him.
Breaca Judd
Phenomenal experience in a most difficult time. We and our dear Minnie were treated with the utmost kindness and respect. Highly recommend!
Cory Cox
Dean took care of assisting our Great Dane, Klaus, to the rainbow bridge. He made one of the worst, most stressful days of mine and my wife’s life so much easier. You would be hard pressed to find another guy in the area with as much compassion and empathy as Dean. He took care of everything once we got there. A beautiful, laser engraved wood box as the urn, and my wife got a fantastic necklace so Klaus can be with her everywhere she goes. I would 100% recommend Patriot Pet Cremation to anyone that is going through what we went through. Dean will make you feel at home, completely assured that your pet is going to be taken care of as well as any other family member. We still talk about how much we appreciate the kindness we experienced.
Christine Schons
Thank you for taking care of both Brice in 2019 and our Leah this week. Dean and Angelique are so kind and respectful when caring for your beloved babies. Both of our fur babies were large dogs over 100 lbs. The vet wanted more than $400 and it would take weeks to get our babies back. We are so greatful for their service and professionalism. No one ever wants to use such services but I wouldn't entrust my babies to anyone else. Thank you again.
Samantha Jones
Patriot Pet Cremation was wonderful when we needed the care and support after our Bailey passed. We were able to take her body late in the evening and picked up her ashes the next afternoon. We love the wooden box she is in and I wear her ashes in the necklace they also had available. There were so many different urns and accessories to choose from, and now they offer laser engraving to personalize anything. PPC is amazing to work with, patient, and very understanding! We plan on having many things laser engraved from them in the future, as well!
Tracy Hancock
Thank you both so much for taking care of my Aries and bringing him back to us. With such short notice, on a Sunday night, my son reached out and you told him to come on over. We had just found him and he had died from defending his sister from a bear. Your kindness eased my son that night. The timing was perfect because your wife was coming our way the next day. You made it happen and we were able to bring our boy home. Such respect was felt by us all and the love is so genuine and appreciated. Thank you for what you did for our family and thank you for your service 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Linda Daniels
Our girl Grace passed unexpectedly June 5, 2020. Although she was a senior and had some health problems, her death was extremely devastating for us. When I called Dean to ask for his hours, his response was, "I'm here when you need me" ... and he was. We made the one hour drive and arrived after hours to find him waiting for our arrival. First of all, I will say the grounds and facility were pristine... but most impressive was not only the compassion he showed to Garry and me, but the respect and dignity he showed to Grace... UTMOST! During the evening, his communication to us was so reassuring. When we arrived to pick up Grace's remains today, we saw not only the same compassion but the care and attention shown in preparation for us to bring Grace home. Even at the time of our sorrow, Dean's attention to every detail did not go unnoticed... down to his standing attentive to our departure with our beloved girl. Such respect! I'm sorry I can only give 5 stars. Patriot Pet Cremation is worthy of so much more. My eternal thanks to Dean for making an unbearable heartbreak bearable for us and for taking such beautiful care of our Grace.
Lauren Dunn
We lost our Bella the day before Thanksgiving. We called Patriot Pet Cremation and he told us to come straight there no hesitation at all. Dean is such a respectful caring man. He helped with picking out the urn to bring Bella home in and he also even took the time to show me all the different fonts he had to engrave her name! He sent me pictures once’s he was done and of her tag he sent with her through the process. When we got there to pick her up he also had made an ornament with a paw print and her name with wings on it. He made a very sad day a little easier! Thank you for your service and your caring heart for animals!
Loretta Miller
Dean was so compassionate and caring at a tough time in our lives. He does beautiful work! I would recommend him.
Christopher Burton (Chris)
I never expect to have such a beautiful and thoughtful experience with the passing of my best friend, Chopper. I’ve been expecting this since February of 2019 when his health first started to decline. I started planning in February because I knew I’d need to set the wheels in motion quickly, or else my mental health would deteriorate too fast for me to act.I will recommend Dean and Patriot Pet Cremation to every single person I know because not only was Dean highly professional, but he was thoughtful, and I could tell he truly cared about the work he is doing. Not just with my Chopper but with every animal that comes to him. Dean is doing something purely from the heart, from his desire to continue serving his community and to provide people with something our fur kids haven’t gotten in this area before...dignity in death.I miss Chopper more than anything, the pain I feel now is incomprehensible. I’m thankful for people like Dean who know just how painful this experience can be. Combined with the willingness to let those who have suffered great loss mourn their loss in their own unique way. The interpersonal connection I formed with Dean was immediate like I’d known him a life time already.Thank you so much for providing this service to the greater Tri-Cities community and for having your services made available day and night...because great tragedies don’t always happen when it’s most convenient. I know Chopper was lovingly looked after through the entire process.Best regards,Chris Burton and my sweet angel Chopper
Crystal Sapp
The owner of Patriot Pet Cremation Dean Ancord made this difficult time a pleasant one he was very caring and understand human being he explained his services and process I couldn't be more pleased forever grateful for his services thank you for your kindness to our Furbaby we will forever be grateful for choosing you to do business with ..
leeann brooks
Very happy with Patriot Pet Cremations. Very friendly and respectful. Had same day cremation. I highly recommend going to PPC, vet owned and operated small business is a plus. He even will pick up your fur baby and return them when done. We where touched when he stood at attention when we left both times. Made a very sad day a little better.
Jessica Riels
I’m so grateful for these people they came through in a tough time with dignity and respect. I highly recommend them and trust them with any of my fur babies. The urn for my pit bull is beautiful great memorial for him
Lynn Riddle
I chose Patriot Pet Cremation because it was owned by a veteran. I am so glad that I did. Dean was very kind and compassionate from the first phone call to the day I picked up my beloved Angel. He treated her with so much dignity and respect when he came to pick her up. He kept me informed during the entire process. His standing at attention when we arrived and left with her remains made me cry. I will be forever grateful to Dean for making this heartbreaking week more bearable. I have already recommended Patriot Pet Cremation to all my family and friends.
Angela Dotson
Mr Dean was extremely professional and compassionate. He made the process of losing my 18 year old chihuahua Sushi bearable. He treated her with dignity and respect. I have never experienced such a beautiful and peaceful place as Parriot Pet Cremation. When I left with the perfect urn and jewelry my heavy heart was a little lighter. He understood our pain while serving us with the upmost respect. I will always remember the compassion and love he showed us. Thank you, Mr Dean.
Wilma Della
Would rate 1000 stars if possible.Dean is a very nice, compassionate veteran who made our life so much easier when we lost our beloved fur baby Dolly. He picked her up at our house and said he would return her the same night if we wished. Our baby got the utmost care and compassion. The urn is beautiful and it was delivered in such a caring way.I highly recommend Patriot Pet to anyone needing this service. You will not be disappointed.Thank you Dean for making our heartbreaking event a little easier.
Danita Preuss
Today we lost our beloved pet Remington. He unfortunately was hit by a car. We took him to the Patriot Pet Cremation in Greenville and could not be happier with the respect a care he showed. He let me spend time with him and allowed me time to give. We have had other pets cremated by him and he always do kind and compassionate. We can't thank Dean enough for his kindness and respect for our loved fur baby. Thank you again Dean for your kindness and respect you showed to us and our fur baby. And thank you for your service.Dean and Danita Smith.
Rebecca Smith
My brothers dog passed away Tuesday evening just after 10 o’clock and I was able to call patriot pet cremations and speak with Dean at around 1045. He answered the phone and he was very very nice on the phone. He came out yesterday and picked up Scar, We were able to bring Scar home that same evening in a beautiful etched urn, I can’t say enough of how polite and caring he seemed with my brother. He really did pay attention to what my brother was talking about and how he felt about his dog. Thank you so much Dean for having the compassion that you do and to help family members move on from the loss of one of their fur babies.
Heather Moody
I recently lost my best friend of 12 years to lymphoma. Mr.MeowMeow. I am still pitifully torn up about it, but I was absolutely comforted by Dean and his business Patriot Pet Cremation. Its incredibly hard to lose a pet, and deciding what to do with the remains can be a difficult topic to discuss and/or plan for when you're trying to remain hopeful and your pet is not feeling well. As I currently rent, I decided on cremation. I called Dean the day I lost my kitty and he was extremely accommodating. His prompt service and the respect he displayed for my best friend will never be forgotten. I was able to pick an urn and see the single crematory chamber which assured me there would be no mass cremation and I was assured I would get only my baby's ashes back.(I've seen the horror stories) I highly, highly reccomend his business and I greatly thank him for his service. Would give 10 stars if I could.
Alanya Styles
he made me feel like my sweet little angel was taken care of as he was, my little buddy was going on 19 years had him every since he was born and Dean made me feel safe enough to lay my baby to rest threw him … he did everything amazing and made sure he did everything right… I’m so glad i found him to help me at my difficult times the drive from my house was 2 hours and he waited on my til 12-1 to help me. He didn’t have to but he did and he deserves a lot a great man friendly services and helped threw it all!! Patriot pets is the way to go… very helpful and graceful…I pray to god this man gets everything he needs he really helped me and my mother.
Terence Maxwell
Words can not describe how amazing our experience was with Patriot Pet Cremation. Dean was so thoughtful and kind when we spoke both on the phone and in person. The amount of respect he showed when handling our beloved dog who we lost suddenly and unexpectedly was heartwarming. You will never find a service better than this one, that I can guarantee. We will always be using Patriot when we lose one of our pets because I know that they will be properly cared for and respectfully handled during their final moments before cremation.
Amber
I can not recommend Dean enough. Total sense of care and respect! He helped make the most heartbreaking moment feel peaceful. It was comforting to see someone be so respectful when you are a wreck and heartbroken. It means everything to know that my precious Duke who we cherished and loved unconditionally for so long in loving hands with someone who you can truly tell cares. Thank you Dean for your kindness and special thank you for your service to our country, and you continue to serve all the fur baby families. Justin & myself can’t thank you enough!
Gary Turnipseed
Dean's compassion and attention to detail are just world class! He understands the emotional duress his customers have at the loss of a family member and truly cares about people and their pets that have passed. We'll recommend Dean to our family/friends because we had a truly wonderful experience at Patriot Pet Cremation.
Karla Mahon
If I could, I would give so many more stars than 5 to Patriot Pet Cremation. Dean was empathetic, professional, helpful and respectful. He provided a dignified cremation for my baby girl, Franny. I would recommend this company, tenfold, to anyone who is in need of this type of service, or for any of your engraving needs.
sharon fletcher
When Jon and I lost our child Peanut, Dean was there to help guide us through the process of his cremation. Unless you are a pet parent you can not understand the grief one feels for the loss of a pet. Dean understood this and respected us through our grieving process. We highly recommend him.
Kelly Kaczar
On 4/1/24 I lost my 13.5 year old Pug Harlee. I was soul crushed and panicking on how to give her the dignity she deserved as I didn’t want to bury her. Within an hour of her passing, we made it to Patriot Pet Cremation. Dean was waiting for us when we pulled up and the respect he showed for the experience we were going through was truly welcomed. The amount of detail he puts into his work and empathy he shows was again truly welcomed. I was so grateful to send off my sweet Harlee to her forever resting spot with Dean. The dog tag he makes for your pet is just another extra dignity piece provided, she had been by my side since she was a baby and she served as a best friend and her having her dog tag showed her duty was over. I cannot express enough how respectful and communicative about the process Dean was, and I cannot imagine using anyone else for this process. Being able to pick her up the next day to bring her home was appreciated as well, and it was a very private experience which was welcomed because you didn’t have someone else grieving behind you waiting. The one on one experience was appreciated. Thank you again so much for the respect and dignity you gave my family and my sweet pup, and thank you for giving her her last pet for me.
Sky Baker
When I say this place deserves more than 5 Stars I mean it. We lost our Boston (Bobo) recently late in the evening and needed someone to do his cremation.Dean quickly returned a call we made, and was so professional and caring about our sweet boy. He treats your pets just as you should another human. He talks you through the process and doesn't try to take advantage of you for a simple cremation. He even allows you to spend as much time as you need for your goodbyes with your best friend.There is no better human than this man when it comes to taking care of your furbabies after life. I would recommend a million times to go here if you want the absolute most respect and care, that you and your pet could receive.
Lee Harrison
I contacted the owner, Dean, this morning and he came out within an hour or so and picked up my parents beloved dog for cremation. I am picking her up within a window of 5 hours. Dean is very professional and easy to communicate with and his shop is spotless and professional. I would trust him with any beloved pet to treat them and the owners with compassion and dignity during a very difficult time.
Kimberly Cline
I have not personally used this service, but my son and daughter in law called and needed to get their dog that had just been euthanized took care of. They were told to come right on and were welcomed when they arrived. They were treated with compassion, kindness and also comforted. They were having such a hard time and overwhelmed with sadness, but couldn't give enough praise for the help and support they received from this awesome business. They were able to pick up their baby the next day, in the most beautiful Rosewood box and take him home! I highly recommend this service and appreciate the love them and their furbaby was shown..
Katherine Brazelle
We could not of been treated better at a funeral home arranging cremation for a human loved one. The gentleman that met us when we pulled up was so respectful. The prices for my fur babies urn and cremation were very reasonable. Id recommend this business 100%
Jessica Mullins
This was the second time we have used Dean for our pet cremation and could not be happier with the service provided. He handled our beloved Darcy and us with the utmost respect. Since our last experience with him 2 years ago, he has increased the variety of urns and mementos that he offers. He completed a beautiful engraving of our girl on her urn. I cannot recommend Dean and his services enough!
Mallory Gosnell
Patriot Cremation, Dean....we can not thank you enough. You showed us the utmost form of honor and respect. You are a rare and beautiful type of business. We could not have chosen a better place to bring our Rasta. Thank you for how kind, humble, respectful, and professional you were while we were mourning our dog.Thank you for your service. You immediately helped healing our heart... with your kindness and your honorable stance as we came and left.We cannot recommend you enough.You will see us soon for custom things and we will make sure to praise your business.100/10!

My family is so grateful for Patriot Pet Cremation. Last October, we lost our 16-year-old mini schnauzer/poodle, Lily. It was an especially challenging time for my dad, a recent widower and USMC Vietnam veteran. Dean was so kind and understanding with dad. His approach and the quality of the service he provided, in my opinion, helped with "closure" and mitigated as much emotional trauma as possible. Dad recently lost his wife, then a fairly short time later, his best friend. Having helpful, understanding people like Patriot Pet Cremation to turn to made a huge difference. Lily's cremains are now stored in a beautifully engraved wooden box by her photo in his house, and I have a small vial pendant to keep her close to me. Additionally, Dean gifted dad a beautiful USMC engraving he'd been working on - and the quality is top notch. Patriot Pet Cremation is an A+, 5-star business. It is not the kind of business you want to have to visit often, but it is the kind of business you want to have when your time of need comes. We are so grateful for them. Key words: Quality. Dignity. Respect.
Lisa Stone
UPDATED REVIEW! Sadly, my mom lost another of her precious babies 3 days after Christmas. Once again we called on Dean. This time to take care of her beautiful, sweet chihuahua, "Peppie" and, once again, Dean was extremely kind and thoughtful, and handled everything in the most honorable and caring way possible. We will never use anyone but Dean at PPC for the end of life care that our babies deserve. He truly is the best there is. Thank you again for everything you do, Dean. We all hope you have a very blessed new year. 💜Losing a dearly loved pet is one of the hardest things we go through as humans..it just HURTS!!. My poor mom's dog, Coco, went from totally fine, to gone, within hours. My husband and I picked Coco up from my mom's and brought her home with us to begin searching for somewhere to take her for end of life services. We settled on Patriot Pet Cremation because of their amazing reviews and I am SO SO GLAD we did! In a time of such sadness and heartbreak, you couldn't ask for anything more than what Dean gave us. Not only is he incredibly kind and super professional, his place is absolutely GORGEOUS! It imbues a sense of peace, calm, and genuine care. We left there without a single concern for how Coco would be treated. Dean clearly loves animals and people and truly makes you feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. He texts you on a regular basis to keep you updated, and if you text him he responds almost immediately. Not only is he a kind and genuine soul, he's also an amazing artist and you will see that should you be needing his services. Honestly, even if you haven't lost a pet, I would recommend touring his front office space and consider buying some of his artwork as gifts to friends, family, or yourself. I am honestly blown away by the entire experience and I VERY HIGHLY recommend choosing Patriot Pet Cremation for your beautiful pet's end of life care. Like I told Dean today, I hope it won't be for a long long time, but any pet we lose in the future will 100% without a single, solitary doubt, be going to Patriot Pet Cremation and Dean because THAT is the kind of end of life care that our much loved pets/family members deserve!! Thank you for EVERYTHING, Dean!!! We all truly appreciate how gracious and kind you've been to us, but we're especially grateful for how you treated Coco! 💜💜💜
Michael Hataway
I highly recommend Patriot’s. Dean was so helpful and helped us in our darkest hour when we lost our Dingo. Dean gave us piece of mind and confidence as he demonstrated compassion and professionalism honoring our Boy. We will never forget Dean and the service he provides. He is a great person, American and patriot. Please support him as a fellow disabled veteran continuing to give himself for the love of others. Dean, we got your six for life brother!!!!!!
Carmendia Davidson
Treated our loving furbaby with the up most respect. He was available on a Sunday when we suddenly lost our sweet boy. We were able to say our final goodbyes and even able to come pick up the ashes that same afternoon. I highly recommend this place whenever you are in the unfortunate situation to need these service.
Jessica Landers
So much respect and compassion for our sweet little dog! Wish I would have known about him with our first baby!

We recently lost our beloved pet to cancer and it was all too soon. Fortunately, a neighbor told us about Patriot Pet Cremation. There are simply no words that will articulate our gratitude for Dean and Patriot Pet Cremation. This journey is never easy but the compassion, empathy and service was above and beyond what we expected. Dean was a blessing to our family. He showed love and respect for our Sydney Lou Who and it was a great comfort to us. Private cremation was also a must that is all he performs. Each time we arrived and when we left, Dean stood watch over our baby. There are simply no words to articulate the the comfort we felt. His location is beautiful. The selection, engraving and prices are very reasonable. I would recommend Patriot Pet Cremation to anyone with the utmost confidence. The thoughtfulness of Dean is exhibited in so many ways. We are honored to offer this review of Patriot Pet Cremation in support of a Veteren owned/operated business that goes above and beyond. Thank you Dean, for your compassion during this journey.
Tiffany Holt
We had our family fur baby cremated using Patriot Pet Cremation. He done a wonderful job. He was extremely respectful and understanding that this was not only a pet but a family member. He explained the process and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye one last time and hold her. Highly Recommend!!!
Heather Southerland
Dean was so professional and respectful as he cared for our dog through the entire process. I appreciate his willingness to come pick up our dog and then have his urn ready on the same day. Thank you, again, for providing this service for grieving families.

My family and I took our dog Jack into Patriot pet cremation on Sunday afternoon. The owner Dean was very kind and we are absolutely amazed at how respectful he was. After giving Dean some basic information about our dog he said we could spend as much time with him as we needed to say our goodbyes. My wife and daughter spent about 10 minutes saying there goodbyes. The whole time we were doing that Dean was standing with his arms at his sides and with his hands folded looking straight ahead giving the utmost respect for my grieving family and our dog. We then thanked Dean for everything and proceeded to step outside to our van. It was pouring down rain that day and I figured Dean would go back inside and do whatever he needed to do but once again he stood at attention on the step leading into his business in the rain.We got in our van and pulled away we drove down his driveway and I looked back one more time before turning onto the main road and Dean was still standing there showing my family and I amazing respect until we were out of sight it absolutely blew me away. Dean thank you so much for your service to your country and thank you for showing my family and our dog Jack so much respect it didn't go unnoticed. You made a very difficult day a little bit better. Dean also had the remains of our dog ready to be picked up later that night.
Joseph Jones
Dean was extremely thoughtful throughout the entire process. He worked with us on an incredibly short turnaround, late and on a holiday weekend. Super professional, very kind, and I’m beyond grateful for the service he provided. Absolutely recommend!
Sean Harris
This man is the most compassionate man I've ever met. He actually feels your pain. He doesn't rush you to make decisions. He is letting me come back to receive the remains and pay him in 2 weeks when I get paid again. Its great that the man understands things happen with pets unexpectedly, and the ability to pay at the moment isnt always possible. When the time comes to say good bye to your beloved pet, this is the place to go for the services required. Essentially this place feels like a funeral home for pets. It's very quiet and calming. He makes this part of the grieving process a bit less stressful.Sir, you are the reason people regain faith in humanity. If the world even had 10 more of you it would be a better place. Thank you so much for your service and for taking care of my beloved Sadie. You are truly an angel.
Kara Werner
We only experienced wonderful things with Patriot Pet Cremation. We had called Dean on the way to the vet with our sick dog on a Saturday and let him know after 5 o'clock, we would like to bring him if we could in order to have him cremated. He immediately told us he would be ready, and we were able to take our sweet boy there straight from his euthanasia. I felt he was so respectful of our pet, of us, and explained things very well. Our boy was ready to bring home in less than 24 hours. Obviously, if you need this service, you've experienced a catastrophic loss in your life, but the care and dignity we and our pet received with Dean is something I will never forget. Thank you so much for what you did for us during such a painful time in our lives.
Susan Lee
My words can never express the genuine comfort and kindness I received from Mr. Dean.I was in grief and alone.Mr. Dean immediately comforted me with words and true compassion. He assured me Sweet Pea would be treated with respect. One look in his eyes and I knew this to be true.Thank you for your service as a Patriot and as a compassionate genuine human.
Amanda Sockriter
We lost our beautiful Bella girl yesterday who has been apart of the family for 12 years. I called pretty late (9 pm) but he called me back in less then 10 mins. Dean was understanding,sincere,sympathetic, and so kind. He told me i could of brought her the same night but unfortunately I had to wait until the next morning to bring her to him. This man was so noble! As we were pulling up he stood outside at the front door with his hands behind his back and greeted us. He was sincere and sympathetic helping us carry bella in. Upon walking in, I knew we picked the right place to Honor our Bella Girl. He then showed us different memorials that were fairly priced and so beautiful! He even suggested he put a little in a small bag for when we purchase a key chain for our son. He made the entire process a little calmer even though our hearts are shattered. When leaving, he followed us out and he gave his condolences….. but what got me, he stood outside with his hands behind his back again but this time with head down and waited for us to leave. (I noticed all of this from our rear view mirror bc we backed in our vehicle) I felt a rush of warmth and knew right then and there that our Bella Girl was at the right place! For a man that never got the chance to meet her and to have me feel like you were mourning her passing too, you are a very SPECIAL human being! We would like to thank you for all that you do! You deserve so much more recognition! You exceed 20 stars! Although our lives have changed forever. You helped us bring her back home forever with such honor.Thank you so much!Amanda, Skyler, Shane
Ashley Weaver
My family lost our dog Sunday night. I googled ceramtion for dogs and patriot pet popped up. I just knew in my heart this is were we needed to go. I called and Dean answered very quickly and was very professional and polite. Also this was after hours and he told us to take our time and he would be waiting for us when we arrived. After a 40 minute drive we arrived and was greeted with so much respect and sympathy. I knew as soon as we arrived we had made the right decision. I feel like our fur baby was in great hands and treated with so much digity and respect. I just want to thank patriot pet for there great service that was provided. I would highly recommend this local company owned by a Veteran that fought for our freedom. My family appreciates all that Dean did for our family.
Kelsey Mitchem
Patriot Pet Cremation was the most kind, compassionate, and empathetic business I could ever imagine to have come across in such an emotional moment of my life. I lost my best friend of 13 years to a worst circumstance kind of day. Dixie was the best girl a girl could ask for and she deserved soo much more than the way she left this world. With that in mind I knew I had to care for her remains with the most love I could find.It was almost 7 pm before I even made the call to Patriot Pet Cremation; Dean answered very quickly and was empathetic with my very emotional self from that very moment on.Dean gave ample amounts of information (including a brochure) about his business in a very timely manner (via text) as well as directions.When I arrived Dean was Respectfully waiting for our arrival and kindly explained to me the options he had available for the process (All of which are incredibly dignified and respectful to your family pet.) As I was falling apart. He waited. He listened. And he genuinely cared to hear it all.We went inside where Dean continued to give me as much time as I needed and informed me of every step that would be taken to care for Dixie. All of which are extremely thoughtful and truly above and beyond services for a grieving person.I left with a beautiful necklace Urn that allowed me to keep Dixie close with me every where I go for the rest of our days. There were so many options for how you could wish to keep and display your beloved pet that no one could possibly walk away disappointed.I couldn’t easily go into every single detail that made the worst experience ever so much easier on me- because there were just too many to name, so, I’ll simply tell you that I hope you never have the need to call this kind of business but if you do- this is the best place you could possibly go.
Julie Pressley
Compassionate and thoughtful is how Dean took care of our Shepherd. I’m very grateful to him.
Jamie Tullock
Highly recommend. Very compassionate, and fast. Dean is a very kind man, and I appreciate him taking good care of our Jewels. Very satisfied.
Megan Purkey
This gentleman was so respectful and a pleasure to work with. He made a very difficult situation feel pleasant. I would highly recommend using him.
Brittani Halaquist
Dean at Patriot Pet Cremation does truly care and it shows. We called him later in the day and explained what was happening with our Max and asked what we needed to do. From the first phone call to making decisions, receiving updates and then picking him back up to bring home it was a seamless process. But most importantly Dean thank you for treating Max like the family member he is. What you read in the brochure is true, it's affordable, you won't be disappointed and I will refer anyone to this small Veteran owned business.
Steve D
Hardest part of owning a pet is outliving them. Dean with Patriot Pet Cremation was very sincere and respectful when I brought my 14yr old lab Midnight to him. She was my pseudo service dog as she always comforted me when I struggled with PTSD from years as a firefighter. Dean honored Midnight with an American flag draped over her for her services. Highly recommend.
Betty Sells
Losing my beautiful baby Isabel 23 months after the loss of my husband was almost more than I could handle. Dean carried Isabel inside as gently as if he were carrying a child. He treated both of us with such compassion. We spent about an hour together when I picked her up just talking about life in general. I left with a much lighter heart and will be forever grateful. Patriot Pet understands the love we have for our animals and you could not be in better hands.
Mountain Living
I cannot thank Dean enough. He was so compassionate during our time of loss for our beloved Brenna. From the first time of contacting him a month ago to our meeting him on Saturday 09-05-20. He was the most genuine and respectful gentleman you will ever meet. The sincerity in his compassion made you feel as if our furbaby was his pet. His facilities were clean topnotch with displays of items to choose from for your beloved pet. Thank you Dean for your Military Service as well as your services for our beloved Brenna.
Colby Proffitt
I well recommend going to Patriot Pet Cremation . I have the at most respect for Dean. We heard about patriot pet cremation from a friend. So when my 15 old dog passed away we got in contact with Dean and took my dog in and upon arrival all the way until we left Dean was the most polite and respectful person I have ever met. I was honored to have taken my dog to him. He walks you through the whole process and gives you time to spend with your pet before you leave. Also the process was timely we took my dog in at 10am and had received a message from Dean by 2pm when in my past with other places I have went to took days. I greatly appreciate Patriot Pet Cremation and everything they done for me and it is the only place I would ever take my pets that pass for now on.
Theresa Schulz
Dean was extremely professional and respectful of my grief. He took great care with my Lynkyn's remains. He offered beautiful keep sakes. I am so appreciative of the way he understood my pain. Highly recommend anyone in need of this service to go here.
Jesse S
Dean, the owner of Patriot Pet Creation, is amazing. His customer service is one that you don’t find anymore. He is willing to work at any time of the night to assist families in dealing with the loss of their pets. Dean, as a military man, stands at ease while you approach his place and stands at ease until you leave down the road, just like the military does when a fallen soldier has passed. His place is clean and he is willing to do whatever he can do to make your time with your pet special. He also has great items such as jewelry, key chains, and very nice urns to take your special loved one home in. I have never written a review before, but I would do it again for Dean and his company Patriot Pet Creation. He took care of our dog Boots with the utmost respect and dignity. She was mine and my wife’s first baby and he made our grieving processes much easier to bare. We are grateful to Dean as I am sure you will be too.
Valerie Stanley
I have used Patriot twice now, once with my beagle and then my pit bull. Both were old and we loved them dearly. I felt the love and respect they had for my babies without ever meeting them. They treated us with respect and true sympathy. The outcome was beautiful and more than I could hope for. I will continue to use them for our fur babies. They also do memorial plaques with pictures and other wood carvings. Thank you for everything you do!!
Greg Blanken
We were very pleased with Patriot Pet Cremation. The facility was very clean and organized. Dean was very respectful and compassionate during our difficult time of parting with Samson and made the entire process effortless. He stood at attention upon arrival and departure from the facility both times and cared for the loss of our boy as if he was his own. He updated us throughout the day and had everything completed in the same day, as well. We could not be more grateful for him providing us with the keepsakes that he did and for making this heart-breaking experience a little more bearable. We will definitely use this business again in the future. Thank you, Dean.
Ashlyn Hager
Dean was absolutely amazing to work with. Losing a pet so young and unexpected has been the hardest thing, but the comfort he brought is unlike most companies. He is extremely fast and very well priced. This kind of decision will never be easy, but knowing you baby is in good hands truly helps the heartbreak.
leeann brooks
Very happy with Patriot Pet Cremations. Very friendly and respectful. Had same day cremation. I highly recommend going to PPC, vet owned and operated small business is a plus. He even will pick up your fur baby and return them when done. We where touched when he stood at attention when we left both times. Made a very sad day a little better.
Jessica Riels
I’m so grateful for these people they came through in a tough time with dignity and respect. I highly recommend them and trust them with any of my fur babies. The urn for my pit bull is beautiful great memorial for him
Lynn Riddle
I chose Patriot Pet Cremation because it was owned by a veteran. I am so glad that I did. Dean was very kind and compassionate from the first phone call to the day I picked up my beloved Angel. He treated her with so much dignity and respect when he came to pick her up. He kept me informed during the entire process. His standing at attention when we arrived and left with her remains made me cry. I will be forever grateful to Dean for making this heartbreaking week more bearable. I have already recommended Patriot Pet Cremation to all my family and friends.
Angela Dotson
Mr Dean was extremely professional and compassionate. He made the process of losing my 18 year old chihuahua Sushi bearable. He treated her with dignity and respect. I have never experienced such a beautiful and peaceful place as Parriot Pet Cremation. When I left with the perfect urn and jewelry my heavy heart was a little lighter. He understood our pain while serving us with the upmost respect. I will always remember the compassion and love he showed us. Thank you, Mr Dean.
Wilma Della
Would rate 1000 stars if possible.Dean is a very nice, compassionate veteran who made our life so much easier when we lost our beloved fur baby Dolly. He picked her up at our house and said he would return her the same night if we wished. Our baby got the utmost care and compassion. The urn is beautiful and it was delivered in such a caring way.I highly recommend Patriot Pet to anyone needing this service. You will not be disappointed.Thank you Dean for making our heartbreaking event a little easier.
Danita Preuss
Today we lost our beloved pet Remington. He unfortunately was hit by a car. We took him to the Patriot Pet Cremation in Greenville and could not be happier with the respect a care he showed. He let me spend time with him and allowed me time to give. We have had other pets cremated by him and he always do kind and compassionate. We can't thank Dean enough for his kindness and respect for our loved fur baby. Thank you again Dean for your kindness and respect you showed to us and our fur baby. And thank you for your service.Dean and Danita Smith.
Rebecca Smith
My brothers dog passed away Tuesday evening just after 10 o’clock and I was able to call patriot pet cremations and speak with Dean at around 1045. He answered the phone and he was very very nice on the phone. He came out yesterday and picked up Scar, We were able to bring Scar home that same evening in a beautiful etched urn, I can’t say enough of how polite and caring he seemed with my brother. He really did pay attention to what my brother was talking about and how he felt about his dog. Thank you so much Dean for having the compassion that you do and to help family members move on from the loss of one of their fur babies.
Heather Moody
I recently lost my best friend of 12 years to lymphoma. Mr.MeowMeow. I am still pitifully torn up about it, but I was absolutely comforted by Dean and his business Patriot Pet Cremation. Its incredibly hard to lose a pet, and deciding what to do with the remains can be a difficult topic to discuss and/or plan for when you're trying to remain hopeful and your pet is not feeling well. As I currently rent, I decided on cremation. I called Dean the day I lost my kitty and he was extremely accommodating. His prompt service and the respect he displayed for my best friend will never be forgotten. I was able to pick an urn and see the single crematory chamber which assured me there would be no mass cremation and I was assured I would get only my baby's ashes back.(I've seen the horror stories) I highly, highly reccomend his business and I greatly thank him for his service. Would give 10 stars if I could.
Alanya Styles
he made me feel like my sweet little angel was taken care of as he was, my little buddy was going on 19 years had him every since he was born and Dean made me feel safe enough to lay my baby to rest threw him … he did everything amazing and made sure he did everything right… I’m so glad i found him to help me at my difficult times the drive from my house was 2 hours and he waited on my til 12-1 to help me. He didn’t have to but he did and he deserves a lot a great man friendly services and helped threw it all!! Patriot pets is the way to go… very helpful and graceful…I pray to god this man gets everything he needs he really helped me and my mother.
Terence Maxwell
Words can not describe how amazing our experience was with Patriot Pet Cremation. Dean was so thoughtful and kind when we spoke both on the phone and in person. The amount of respect he showed when handling our beloved dog who we lost suddenly and unexpectedly was heartwarming. You will never find a service better than this one, that I can guarantee. We will always be using Patriot when we lose one of our pets because I know that they will be properly cared for and respectfully handled during their final moments before cremation.
Darrell King
I’m not the best for words but Dean will treat you and your pet with respect. I delivered our pet to him. He wants a call about 10 mins before arrival. This gives him time to be ready for you. He was standing outside the door, hands crossed and head bowed awaiting arrival. Patriot has a very nice, clean facility, and many items for the proper laying to rest of your pet. They have on site laser engraving so whatever product you decide on can be engraved right there. As I left with our pet, Dean assumed his stance at the front door as when we had arrived.
Gareth Gentry
Not sure where to start. We lost our beloved pet of 20 years. In a terrible time in a person's life with a loss,,, this experience made it better. I'm not easily impressed, but this time I was. The professionalism, respect, dignity and care is the upmost I've experienced. His military service beams like a light in a dark world. He has an exceptional gift that is rare. Beautiful setup that really shows he cares. Thank you Dean for your service in the military and what you provide. Very greatfull....SincerelyThe Gentry's
Sara Nicholson
Dean and Patriot Pet Cremation were godsends for us when our dog was struck by a car on the day after New Years. Dean and his wife were so kind and treated Murray with such dignity and care. We will always be grateful. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.
Jalaine Stetich
When that final day arrives and you have to say goodbye to a beloved four legged family member and want assurance of their final care, you won't find anywhere else that will treat you or your furbaby the way Patriot Pet Cremation does.Dean, you "Sir", made me feel like family from our first encounter. I cannot fully express my gratitude for your assistance with our sweet boy Shiloh. 💙 You kept us informed every step of the way. The care and pride you took brings comfort to us during this difficult time. It is clear you hold yourself to the highest standards. We are grateful to you!I thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
Kath Trout
I initially contacted Dean to discuss plans for my little Scottie girl 15 yo, who was in a hospice situation, as I knew I would not be able to make clear decisions at the time of her passing. Being the wife of a disabled Vietnam veteran, I wanted to support a fellow veteran’s business. Dean was great. He sent me his brochure and website and told me to just let him know any time.Just a few days later, our 8 yo Scottie boy went into a rapid decline and we lost him at the ER vet within a very few hours. I texted Dean to let him know at about 3am and he responded! We took our boy to him the next afternoon. I cannot express how kind, caring and compassionate Dean was to us and our boy. I spent a few minutes with my boy before we left him in Dean’s compassionate care.Four days later, our girl let us know it was her time to take her leave. We were crushed and took her to Dean the next day. Again, we cannot fully express our appreciation for his kind and respectful care of both our girl and ourselves at a time that threatened to derail us.Every time we pulled in to Patriot Pet Cremation, Dean was standing outside with his hands at his side in a pose of respect and did the same when we left. That made a deep impression on us. We felt totally respected and cared for.We cannot recommend Patriot Pet Cremation enough. You and your fur baby will be treated with the utmost care and respect.
Carla See
Dean was very nice and courteous. He made what was a terribly sad day for our family a little easier. He came out and picked up our furbaby and handled everything for us.. Our Levi was ready to be picked up the next day. All the while Dean kept communicating with us. We would definitely recommend him and his services. Thank you for taking care of our family dog.
Libby Scott
Absolutely a wonderful experience! Dean is an amazing person and was very respectful and kind to us today! Although our hearts are broken with the loss of our sweet Rosie, I could not have asked for a better experience today. Thank you for your service to our Nation and thank you for taking such wonderful care of our baby girl!
Stephanie Morris
Our baby Oliver was unfortunately hit by a car, it was extremely devastating. Dean eased our dreadful day by being compassionate and understanding. We were never rushed in any of our decisions and he got our boy back to us the same day. I will always be grateful for his kindness.
Kristine Burr
Patriot Pet Cremation is wonderful, they were there for me and came right away after the loss of my best friend Noah. He passed away in my arms late in the evening and Dean came to pick his body up right away. Dean showed genuine compassion empathy and true concern for me and the loss of my dog. He made sure I knew that my dog I would be in good hands. Noah’s ashes were ready for me the next day in a beautiful urn that I was able to pick out. Having this type of service helped me bring closure the loss of my very best bud. I was able to bring Noah’s ashes home the very next day. I really appreciate that Patriot Pet Cremation is available when you need them, honestly I did not know what to do with Noah’s body after he passed away. I wasn’t in any condition to drive. So this pick up service was a blessing. The entire process was comforting smooth easy and affordable. I recommend this service to anyone who loses a pet.
Stephanie Ellerman
Recently our fur baby Spud was diagnosed with cancer. Within a week of receiving the news, he passed. Early on Easter I called Patriot Pet Cremation and spoke with Dean. Dean told me to bring Spud down and he would be there and would take care of anything we needed. When we pulled up he was standing outside with the up most respect. He carefully helped my husband carry our fur baby in like he was his own. He went above and beyond any expectation that I had. He made us feel comfort in our time despair.We knew that our baby would be taken care of, and that gave us peace. When we left he stood again outside with respect for us and our loss. Within 24 hours I have Spud home. I will forever be grateful for Dean and his family for everything that he did for us.
Mallory Gosnell
Patriot Cremation, Dean....we can not thank you enough. You showed us the utmost form of honor and respect. You are a rare and beautiful type of business. We could not have chosen a better place to bring our Rasta. Thank you for how kind, humble, respectful, and professional you were while we were mourning our dog.Thank you for your service. You immediately helped healing our heart... with your kindness and your honorable stance as we came and left.We cannot recommend you enough.You will see us soon for custom things and we will make sure to praise your business.100/10!

My family is so grateful for Patriot Pet Cremation. Last October, we lost our 16-year-old mini schnauzer/poodle, Lily. It was an especially challenging time for my dad, a recent widower and USMC Vietnam veteran. Dean was so kind and understanding with dad. His approach and the quality of the service he provided, in my opinion, helped with "closure" and mitigated as much emotional trauma as possible. Dad recently lost his wife, then a fairly short time later, his best friend. Having helpful, understanding people like Patriot Pet Cremation to turn to made a huge difference. Lily's cremains are now stored in a beautifully engraved wooden box by her photo in his house, and I have a small vial pendant to keep her close to me. Additionally, Dean gifted dad a beautiful USMC engraving he'd been working on - and the quality is top notch. Patriot Pet Cremation is an A+, 5-star business. It is not the kind of business you want to have to visit often, but it is the kind of business you want to have when your time of need comes. We are so grateful for them. Key words: Quality. Dignity. Respect.
Lisa Stone
UPDATED REVIEW! Sadly, my mom lost another of her precious babies 3 days after Christmas. Once again we called on Dean. This time to take care of her beautiful, sweet chihuahua, "Peppie" and, once again, Dean was extremely kind and thoughtful, and handled everything in the most honorable and caring way possible. We will never use anyone but Dean at PPC for the end of life care that our babies deserve. He truly is the best there is. Thank you again for everything you do, Dean. We all hope you have a very blessed new year. 💜Losing a dearly loved pet is one of the hardest things we go through as humans..it just HURTS!!. My poor mom's dog, Coco, went from totally fine, to gone, within hours. My husband and I picked Coco up from my mom's and brought her home with us to begin searching for somewhere to take her for end of life services. We settled on Patriot Pet Cremation because of their amazing reviews and I am SO SO GLAD we did! In a time of such sadness and heartbreak, you couldn't ask for anything more than what Dean gave us. Not only is he incredibly kind and super professional, his place is absolutely GORGEOUS! It imbues a sense of peace, calm, and genuine care. We left there without a single concern for how Coco would be treated. Dean clearly loves animals and people and truly makes you feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. He texts you on a regular basis to keep you updated, and if you text him he responds almost immediately. Not only is he a kind and genuine soul, he's also an amazing artist and you will see that should you be needing his services. Honestly, even if you haven't lost a pet, I would recommend touring his front office space and consider buying some of his artwork as gifts to friends, family, or yourself. I am honestly blown away by the entire experience and I VERY HIGHLY recommend choosing Patriot Pet Cremation for your beautiful pet's end of life care. Like I told Dean today, I hope it won't be for a long long time, but any pet we lose in the future will 100% without a single, solitary doubt, be going to Patriot Pet Cremation and Dean because THAT is the kind of end of life care that our much loved pets/family members deserve!! Thank you for EVERYTHING, Dean!!! We all truly appreciate how gracious and kind you've been to us, but we're especially grateful for how you treated Coco! 💜💜💜
Michael Hataway
I highly recommend Patriot’s. Dean was so helpful and helped us in our darkest hour when we lost our Dingo. Dean gave us piece of mind and confidence as he demonstrated compassion and professionalism honoring our Boy. We will never forget Dean and the service he provides. He is a great person, American and patriot. Please support him as a fellow disabled veteran continuing to give himself for the love of others. Dean, we got your six for life brother!!!!!!
Carmendia Davidson
Treated our loving furbaby with the up most respect. He was available on a Sunday when we suddenly lost our sweet boy. We were able to say our final goodbyes and even able to come pick up the ashes that same afternoon. I highly recommend this place whenever you are in the unfortunate situation to need these service.
Jessica Landers
So much respect and compassion for our sweet little dog! Wish I would have known about him with our first baby!
Jackie A
We recently lost our beloved pet to cancer and it was all too soon. Fortunately, a neighbor told us about Patriot Pet Cremation. There are simply no words that will articulate our gratitude for Dean and Patriot Pet Cremation. This journey is never easy but the compassion, empathy and service was above and beyond what we expected. Dean was a blessing to our family. He showed love and respect for our Sydney Lou Who and it was a great comfort to us. Private cremation was also a must that is all he performs. Each time we arrived and when we left, Dean stood watch over our baby. There are simply no words to articulate the the comfort we felt. His location is beautiful. The selection, engraving and prices are very reasonable. I would recommend Patriot Pet Cremation to anyone with the utmost confidence. The thoughtfulness of Dean is exhibited in so many ways. We are honored to offer this review of Patriot Pet Cremation in support of a Veteren owned/operated business that goes above and beyond. Thank you Dean, for your compassion during this journey.
Tiffany Holt
We had our family fur baby cremated using Patriot Pet Cremation. He done a wonderful job. He was extremely respectful and understanding that this was not only a pet but a family member. He explained the process and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye one last time and hold her. Highly Recommend!!!
Heather Southerland
Dean was so professional and respectful as he cared for our dog through the entire process. I appreciate his willingness to come pick up our dog and then have his urn ready on the same day. Thank you, again, for providing this service for grieving families.
Jeremy C
My family and I took our dog Jack into Patriot pet cremation on Sunday afternoon. The owner Dean was very kind and we are absolutely amazed at how respectful he was. After giving Dean some basic information about our dog he said we could spend as much time with him as we needed to say our goodbyes. My wife and daughter spent about 10 minutes saying there goodbyes. The whole time we were doing that Dean was standing with his arms at his sides and with his hands folded looking straight ahead giving the utmost respect for my grieving family and our dog. We then thanked Dean for everything and proceeded to step outside to our van. It was pouring down rain that day and I figured Dean would go back inside and do whatever he needed to do but once again he stood at attention on the step leading into his business in the rain.We got in our van and pulled away we drove down his driveway and I looked back one more time before turning onto the main road and Dean was still standing there showing my family and I amazing respect until we were out of sight it absolutely blew me away. Dean thank you so much for your service to your country and thank you for showing my family and our dog Jack so much respect it didn't go unnoticed. You made a very difficult day a little bit better. Dean also had the remains of our dog ready to be picked up later that night.
Zach Stewart
I can not express how grateful we are to have found Patriot Pet Cremation. Nothing but respect for our dog after his passing. Very easy to work with and amazing communication. When the planned or untimely end comes for your furry friend, you can trust they will be cared for here.
Chris Huskey
After an unexpected loss of one of our beloved dogs, Buddy, we were tasked with unpleasant chore of finding a way to deal with his remains.Due to the fact that we rent, we knew burial wasn't an option for the thought of leaving him behind. So the search for a cremator began.After speaking to a few who just seemed "down to business" we called Patriot Pet Cremation and spoke with Dean. He was soft spoken and sympathetic yet incredibly professional and informative.I can't praise him enough for his assistance and demeanor throughout the process. There aren't enough stars to rate and to say that I simply recommend is a tremendous injustice to how great Dean was and how much I appreciate the job he's done.
Donna Edwards
This was a very difficult time for our family; the care and compassion shown to us by Dean and his wife at Patriot Pet Cremation was outstanding and greatly appreciated.Our Sweet Boy was treated with the dignity and respect he so richly deserved. With a 24 hour turn around to receive his ashes, and the perfect urn at a very reasonable price, they made the experience bearable and as pleasant as it could be.We highly recommend Patriot Pet Cremation to any and everyone dealing with the death of a fur baby. They genuinely care about what they do, and it certainly shows in EVERYTHING they do!Sincerely,Donna E.
Shannon Johnson
Dean at Patriot Pet Cremations went above and beyond my expectations. My sweet Butter passed away on Sunday morning, he was ready and willing to help immediately. Dean was so thoughtful and compassionate when dealing with us as well as my baby. He was beyond professional from start to finish with the process. I will highly recommend Patriot Pet Cremation to anyone in need of his services. Thank you, Dean, for your service to our country as well as the service you gave my family.
Carol Gard
Had to have our golden retriever cremated in June. The place we used previously was closed and we found out about Dean, so glad we did. He gave us choices of what to put her ashes and had a very caring attitude. My son and I feel that we were treated respectfully as was our Sadie. Even though the other place is closer to our home, we will go the extra miles and use Dean's services when needed.
Gracie Crabtree
My sweet kitty of 14 years, Sarah, passed away from kidney disease on New Year’s Eve. She was the best cat, and she was my best friend ever, as I got her when I was 5. Obviously, I was very emotional about losing her. My mom called our vet and asked about cremation options, and Patriot Pet Cremation was recommended to us, especially since it was a holiday. We called him, and we were treated with such respect. We were able to take Sarah the same day, and we got to pick her up the next morning. Upon arrival, the couple was standing outside waiting for us. They greeted us and spoke very gentle to us, showing nothing but respect, even as we were crying. The most respectful thing though, was that when we left, they stood outside until we had pulled away completely. No talking or smiling or rushing back in to get the job done. Just standing there, respecting us and our loss. As much as I hope you don’t lose your fur baby, and I am so sorry if you have, I highly recommend Patriot Pet Cremation. They made the so difficult process easier. Thank you all for everything.
Brook Hatchett
I want to thank Dean for being so compassionate on the passing of my Boo. He picked her up and bought her home the same day. I highly recommend his services to anyone. Her Urn is Beautiful and I wear my necklace with some of her ashes in it every day. I would recommend his services to anyone. Thank you Again !!
Taylor Madison Bruner
My Siberian Husky Zoey passed away suddenly on June 24th (Saturday) around 10 at night. We were able to take her to Patriot Pet Cremation at 12 the next morning. He was very respectful. He explained the whole process to me and let me get a clipping of her hair to keep. I will continue to go to Patriot Pet Cremations when the time comes for our other Huskies!
John Oehlert
We lost our 14 year old cat unexpectedly. When we contacted Dean to make her arrangements, he was very sympathetic to our loss. He explained his process and offered us options in a concise and professional manner, and eased our concerns regarding the final disposition of our pet. The process was completed in a timely manner, at a very reasonable fee. Our pet, Venus, was returned to us in a very nice wooden urn. I can honestly state that I would absolutely recommend Dean and his service to anyone in this situation....
Joe Langley
I spoke to Dean by phone and requested service,he was out of town but said his wife would meet me. Angelique was kind,caring,compassionate, and professional! I left Buzzsaw with her and was notified approximately 5 hours later she was ready for pickup! I returned the next day approximately 24 hours after the initial drop off! Their service was impeccable! I will use your service again as needed and would recommend you to anybody with pet cremation needs. It was truly a pleasure doing business with you!
Brittani Halaquist
Dean at Patriot Pet Cremation does truly care and it shows. We called him later in the day and explained what was happening with our Max and asked what we needed to do. From the first phone call to making decisions, receiving updates and then picking him back up to bring home it was a seamless process. But most importantly Dean thank you for treating Max like the family member he is. What you read in the brochure is true, it's affordable, you won't be disappointed and I will refer anyone to this small Veteran owned business.
Steve D
Hardest part of owning a pet is outliving them. Dean with Patriot Pet Cremation was very sincere and respectful when I brought my 14yr old lab Midnight to him. She was my pseudo service dog as she always comforted me when I struggled with PTSD from years as a firefighter. Dean honored Midnight with an American flag draped over her for her services. Highly recommend.
Betty Sells
Losing my beautiful baby Isabel 23 months after the loss of my husband was almost more than I could handle. Dean carried Isabel inside as gently as if he were carrying a child. He treated both of us with such compassion. We spent about an hour together when I picked her up just talking about life in general. I left with a much lighter heart and will be forever grateful. Patriot Pet understands the love we have for our animals and you could not be in better hands.
Mountain Living
I cannot thank Dean enough. He was so compassionate during our time of loss for our beloved Brenna. From the first time of contacting him a month ago to our meeting him on Saturday 09-05-20. He was the most genuine and respectful gentleman you will ever meet. The sincerity in his compassion made you feel as if our furbaby was his pet. His facilities were clean topnotch with displays of items to choose from for your beloved pet. Thank you Dean for your Military Service as well as your services for our beloved Brenna.
Colby Proffitt
I well recommend going to Patriot Pet Cremation . I have the at most respect for Dean. We heard about patriot pet cremation from a friend. So when my 15 old dog passed away we got in contact with Dean and took my dog in and upon arrival all the way until we left Dean was the most polite and respectful person I have ever met. I was honored to have taken my dog to him. He walks you through the whole process and gives you time to spend with your pet before you leave. Also the process was timely we took my dog in at 10am and had received a message from Dean by 2pm when in my past with other places I have went to took days. I greatly appreciate Patriot Pet Cremation and everything they done for me and it is the only place I would ever take my pets that pass for now on.
Theresa Schulz
Dean was extremely professional and respectful of my grief. He took great care with my Lynkyn's remains. He offered beautiful keep sakes. I am so appreciative of the way he understood my pain. Highly recommend anyone in need of this service to go here.
Jesse S
Dean, the owner of Patriot Pet Creation, is amazing. His customer service is one that you don’t find anymore. He is willing to work at any time of the night to assist families in dealing with the loss of their pets. Dean, as a military man, stands at ease while you approach his place and stands at ease until you leave down the road, just like the military does when a fallen soldier has passed. His place is clean and he is willing to do whatever he can do to make your time with your pet special. He also has great items such as jewelry, key chains, and very nice urns to take your special loved one home in. I have never written a review before, but I would do it again for Dean and his company Patriot Pet Creation. He took care of our dog Boots with the utmost respect and dignity. She was mine and my wife’s first baby and he made our grieving processes much easier to bare. We are grateful to Dean as I am sure you will be too.
Valerie Stanley
I have used Patriot twice now, once with my beagle and then my pit bull. Both were old and we loved them dearly. I felt the love and respect they had for my babies without ever meeting them. They treated us with respect and true sympathy. The outcome was beautiful and more than I could hope for. I will continue to use them for our fur babies. They also do memorial plaques with pictures and other wood carvings. Thank you for everything you do!!
Greg Blanken
We were very pleased with Patriot Pet Cremation. The facility was very clean and organized. Dean was very respectful and compassionate during our difficult time of parting with Samson and made the entire process effortless. He stood at attention upon arrival and departure from the facility both times and cared for the loss of our boy as if he was his own. He updated us throughout the day and had everything completed in the same day, as well. We could not be more grateful for him providing us with the keepsakes that he did and for making this heart-breaking experience a little more bearable. We will definitely use this business again in the future. Thank you, Dean.
Ashlyn Hager
Dean was absolutely amazing to work with. Losing a pet so young and unexpected has been the hardest thing, but the comfort he brought is unlike most companies. He is extremely fast and very well priced. This kind of decision will never be easy, but knowing you baby is in good hands truly helps the heartbreak.
Michael Manning
Fantastic service and I recommend them strongly. Dignity and respect, hard enough to say goodbye to a cherished pet but Dean truly cares and takes care of final needs. I will be recommending them to all that need the service in the future.
Jacqueline Franko
Dean Achord helped to make one of the hardest things I’ve had to do a little bit easier. He was waiting for me outside the door like an honor guard. Walked me through everything and never made me feel rushed or pressured. He made it easy to have full confidence and trust in him. He had everything there that you could need and more. No quess work. I highly recommend Patriot Pet Cremation to anyone in need. He helped me on a Saturday afternoon and I was able to pick up that same night. His pricing is great too. I would drive out of my way for his services. They’re kind, caring, trustworthy, honest, helpful, patient.Can’t say enough good things about this place.
Kevin Casson
Dean did such a great job with my boy. This conversation nor process is easy, but Dean handled it with poise and understanding. He was in communication with me the whole time and made sure I was ready to have the conversation. Highly recommend for any pet cremation services. More than accommodating.
josh pressley
We have had very good service from Patriot Pet Cremation for two pets. The service has always been great and they have gone out of their way to make everything as easy as possible.

Yesterday our 17 year old dog passed away unexpectedly. We knew she was aging but did not realize that the her time to see the rainbow bridge was approaching so soon. Patriot Pet Cremation met us at the door with respect and kindness. They walked us through the process with kindness and compassion. Our sweet girl was returned to us in less than 24hours. We are so thankful for the care they showed. The only reason I am giving a 5 Star review is because they don't offer a 10 star option, Thank y'all from my family.
TN Jones
Not enough stars to rate my experience!!!I went with my sister to pick up our family member, ANDY! The absolute and complete respect upon meeting you Dean was admirable. A firm handshake for myself as well as my sister was gratifying. You showed compassion and regard that most people do not have the ability to show. Nor would they understand! Eye contact during our discussion of Andy and his character was observed. You never tried to rush us out of your office, your attentive and caring nature was completely genuine! My sister has had a tough year and the loss of Andy is devastating. You did an outstanding job of showing respect and dignity for the loss of our family member. What I observed as we were leaving was a moving experience. You stood at parade rest….and bowed your head!!! A form of respect, that only a man of 100% good character and honor would do. You talked to Andy when you picked him up, this is unheard of. Your professionalism and respect is is amazing! Thank You Sincerely Tim J
Olivia Ford
Dean was a great guy and done an amazing job with my little puppy. He went and got her and we got her back same day. Love the high quality necklace with the ashes and the high quality box for her and picture frame. Highly recommend.
Stephany Roach
We lost our beloved Reese on the evening of August 3rd. He was a lovable guinea pig with a big personality. He was so sweet and was truly loved by his human best friend. I called several other places that were disrespectful of our loss. I found Patriot Pet Cremation through a tearful google search. When I called Dean he had this warm hearted tone to his voice. He assured me that our Reese would be treated with compassion and care. When we arrived to Patriot Pet Cremation, he was standing outside waiting by the door for me. He explained the process to me and offered me the opportunity to place my Reese in the chamber. He allowed me to tell a story about his character, let me cry, gave me tissues. As I left and got back in the car, he stood outside once again as we pulled away. The respect he has for us and our pet is unmatched. I guarantee you wont get this level of care anywhere else. Thank you Dean for making this unimaginable loss such a loving and caring experience!!
Charlie Elmo
Dean, done an amazing job with our Maddie. We are very pleased his caring sympathy for our loss. The laser work on the ern we choose was absolutely magnificent. We would 100% recommend him and his services.
Nancy Ealey
I would like to publicly thank Dean of Patriot Pet Crematory for his services. For going above andbeyond in helping us through a most difficult time.Our precious little fur baby Gracie passed last night.Like anyone that loves their pet..we are heartbroken.We had seen a brochure at our vets office about this business, not thinking we would need for several more years. I just tucked that info in the back of my mind.Unfortunately we found ourselves needing that helpthis morning. I called and left a message with a return call within 30 minutes. I didn't know what to ask, but his forthcoming information answered everything. We took our li'l Gracie, and we're met by a very professional and caring man. He explained everything to us and we chosethe items we wanted for her cremains and what would be engraved on them. Through this whole process Deanwas so understanding and kind, giving all the time wewanted to make choices and say goodbye to our baby girl. We were able to pick her up later this afternoon,which was absolutely wonderful. Now I have her home with me❤️. I had said I would like to have her blanket embroidered and he even gave me contact info for someone to do that. This young man showed us the utmost respect making our hard time more bearable.He is retired military and his training and respect is admirably shown in his business. When the time comes and I am in this situation again..I most definitely will call on Dean..Thank you so much for all of your kindnessIt is appreciated more than you know.Nancy & Buddy
Darrell King
I’m not the best for words but Dean will treat you and your pet with respect. I delivered our pet to him. He wants a call about 10 mins before arrival. This gives him time to be ready for you. He was standing outside the door, hands crossed and head bowed awaiting arrival. Patriot has a very nice, clean facility, and many items for the proper laying to rest of your pet. They have on site laser engraving so whatever product you decide on can be engraved right there. As I left with our pet, Dean assumed his stance at the front door as when we had arrived.
Gareth Gentry
Not sure where to start. We lost our beloved pet of 20 years. In a terrible time in a person's life with a loss,,, this experience made it better. I'm not easily impressed, but this time I was. The professionalism, respect, dignity and care is the upmost I've experienced. His military service beams like a light in a dark world. He has an exceptional gift that is rare. Beautiful setup that really shows he cares. Thank you Dean for your service in the military and what you provide. Very greatfull....SincerelyThe Gentry's
Sara Nicholson
Dean and Patriot Pet Cremation were godsends for us when our dog was struck by a car on the day after New Years. Dean and his wife were so kind and treated Murray with such dignity and care. We will always be grateful. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.
Jalaine Stetich
When that final day arrives and you have to say goodbye to a beloved four legged family member and want assurance of their final care, you won't find anywhere else that will treat you or your furbaby the way Patriot Pet Cremation does.Dean, you "Sir", made me feel like family from our first encounter. I cannot fully express my gratitude for your assistance with our sweet boy Shiloh. 💙 You kept us informed every step of the way. The care and pride you took brings comfort to us during this difficult time. It is clear you hold yourself to the highest standards. We are grateful to you!I thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
Kath Trout
I initially contacted Dean to discuss plans for my little Scottie girl 15 yo, who was in a hospice situation, as I knew I would not be able to make clear decisions at the time of her passing. Being the wife of a disabled Vietnam veteran, I wanted to support a fellow veteran’s business. Dean was great. He sent me his brochure and website and told me to just let him know any time.Just a few days later, our 8 yo Scottie boy went into a rapid decline and we lost him at the ER vet within a very few hours. I texted Dean to let him know at about 3am and he responded! We took our boy to him the next afternoon. I cannot express how kind, caring and compassionate Dean was to us and our boy. I spent a few minutes with my boy before we left him in Dean’s compassionate care.Four days later, our girl let us know it was her time to take her leave. We were crushed and took her to Dean the next day. Again, we cannot fully express our appreciation for his kind and respectful care of both our girl and ourselves at a time that threatened to derail us.Every time we pulled in to Patriot Pet Cremation, Dean was standing outside with his hands at his side in a pose of respect and did the same when we left. That made a deep impression on us. We felt totally respected and cared for.We cannot recommend Patriot Pet Cremation enough. You and your fur baby will be treated with the utmost care and respect.
Carla See
Dean was very nice and courteous. He made what was a terribly sad day for our family a little easier. He came out and picked up our furbaby and handled everything for us.. Our Levi was ready to be picked up the next day. All the while Dean kept communicating with us. We would definitely recommend him and his services. Thank you for taking care of our family dog.
Libby Scott
Absolutely a wonderful experience! Dean is an amazing person and was very respectful and kind to us today! Although our hearts are broken with the loss of our sweet Rosie, I could not have asked for a better experience today. Thank you for your service to our Nation and thank you for taking such wonderful care of our baby girl!
Stephanie Morris
Our baby Oliver was unfortunately hit by a car, it was extremely devastating. Dean eased our dreadful day by being compassionate and understanding. We were never rushed in any of our decisions and he got our boy back to us the same day. I will always be grateful for his kindness.
Kristine Burr
Patriot Pet Cremation is wonderful, they were there for me and came right away after the loss of my best friend Noah. He passed away in my arms late in the evening and Dean came to pick his body up right away. Dean showed genuine compassion empathy and true concern for me and the loss of my dog. He made sure I knew that my dog I would be in good hands. Noah’s ashes were ready for me the next day in a beautiful urn that I was able to pick out. Having this type of service helped me bring closure the loss of my very best bud. I was able to bring Noah’s ashes home the very next day. I really appreciate that Patriot Pet Cremation is available when you need them, honestly I did not know what to do with Noah’s body after he passed away. I wasn’t in any condition to drive. So this pick up service was a blessing. The entire process was comforting smooth easy and affordable. I recommend this service to anyone who loses a pet.
Stephanie Ellerman
Recently our fur baby Spud was diagnosed with cancer. Within a week of receiving the news, he passed. Early on Easter I called Patriot Pet Cremation and spoke with Dean. Dean told me to bring Spud down and he would be there and would take care of anything we needed. When we pulled up he was standing outside with the up most respect. He carefully helped my husband carry our fur baby in like he was his own. He went above and beyond any expectation that I had. He made us feel comfort in our time despair.We knew that our baby would be taken care of, and that gave us peace. When we left he stood again outside with respect for us and our loss. Within 24 hours I have Spud home. I will forever be grateful for Dean and his family for everything that he did for us.
Stephanie Wilburn
We recently lost our fur baby Addie Lou. The gentleman at Patriot Pet was very kind, courteous, and sympathetic. He was very helpful and walked me through how the process of how cremation worked. The facility was very nice and clean. I would definitely use them again if we lose anymore fur babies. I highly recommend Patriot Pet Cremation. Five Star rating.
Gayle Eppich Carlisle
In today's public service sector, it seems that Good Customer Service is difficult to find. This is not the case at Patriot Pet Cremation! Recently our beloved Lily passed away on a Saturday. We contacted Dean of Patriot Pet Cremation and he was there for us! He was compassionate and Very Reverent of our Loss. I have owned and managed businesses and Customer Service was Very High on My List. I was extremely impressed with Dean and the entire manner in which he handled our delicate situation. He deserves a Five Star Rating, Higher if it was available. Thank You, Dean, and Blessings Always to You and Your Family!
Angel McCoy
My heart was shattered into a million pieces Sunday January 15, 2023. I lost my precious baby girl Roxie Ann. She was 13 and half years old. My heart couldn't let me bury her in the ground. So I looked up pet cremation on the internet. An the first one that came to me was Patriot Pet Cremation. So I called and spoke with the owner and asked a few questions about how much and so forth on how they would do it and all that. But let me tell you how very impressed I was with Patriot Pet Cremation. I've never in my life felt the most respect, dignity and love that this man gave to me and my family for the lost of our precious baby. I'm talking even from a family members funeral, never have I seen or felt the passionate that someone gives to someone for losing a loved one as much as Dean did at Patriot Pet Cremation. This man was great he went above and beyond for us. An I want to thank him for all he has done for us and also I want to thank Dean for his service in the military. THANK YOU DEAN YOU'RE THE GREATEST MAN EVER. When we dropped my baby off and was about to leave this man Dean stood at the front door with his hands together and head down til we was out of sight. When we went around the last curve were we couldn't see him any longer is when he finally done what he had to do. But I've never saw anyone be so much respectful as this man did. I'm so lost at words. I don't know how to put my feeling in words for how grateful I am for all he has done for me. For all my fur babies he will have my business when they go to be with Jesus. Again I just want to take the time and THANK YOU AGAIN DEAN. YOU'RE THE BEST.
Joseph St. Angelo
When our middle-aged dog, Bella, needed to be put down I ran a quick web search for pet cremation services and Patriot Pet Cremation was at the top of the list. After calling and then meeting the owner it was clear why this business is so highly rated.You can count on high professionalism, undivided attention and empathy for clients and their pets. Clients can be assured that their pet is cared for with dignity and respect as well as being confident that the remains they receive afterward are of their own pet.Dean makes time for his clients to answer any questions they may have or to talk about whatever might be on their minds. He is a high quality person, and his service is above and beyond expectations. I'm so grateful that we connected with Patriot Pet Cremation to help us with navigating a difficult time.
Chad G
Dean was super accomodating toward me when my found my beautiful 12yo dog had been hit by a car. It was a very hard thing to go through and although we had just met I felt like he was there for me. He let me stick around as long as I needed and I think it helped me to be in a beautiful country setting rather than a vet office or funeral home. I was happy for the decision I made when I went with his cremation service and he was very reasonably priced. Thanks again Dean for helping me through such a traumatizing event. She will be missed.
Merri H
The service we received was excellent. Dean was very sympathetic to our loss and went out of his way to make sure everything we wanted was done. He would send text messages as to what steps were completed and the arranged for a time where we could pick up our sweet Bubba's remains. We would first like to thank him for his service to our country and next for the care he took with Bubba and our needs. We have several other pets that will one day pass and at that time we will use his services again. Thank you so much.John & Merri
Dillon Lawson
Dean was awesome with our Choco! He was fast and done everything possible to make the situation more bearable. The prices were very cheap for the cremation and the accessories. He was able to take paw prints and make some really cool necklaces to remember our sweet boy! I would absolutely recommend Patriot Pet Cremation to anyone who find themselves in this sad situation.
aspen grapes creates
Would recommend Patriot Pet Cremation to anyone in need of this service. Dean made such a sad time very peaceful & helped me give my pet an honorable send off. Going above & beyond, he thought of details I never would have. Furthermore, I was kept informed of every step of the process & always knew what was going on & why which was very helpful to me as I’d never had a pet cremated. They are doing a great service at Patriot Pet Cremation. The reviews are accurate & you will not regret choosing them.
Leah Rowe
Dean was amazing. He was so kind and helped my family through this heart wrenching process. He treated my family and my fur baby with such kindness and respect. I thank him for his service to our country and for his service through this tough time.

I always knew when the time came, I would explore Patriot Pet Cremation and I was not disappointed. I'm 110% satisfied with the service provided. The kindness and compassion shown during my time of loss was sincere and tremendously appreciated! Thank you Dean and Patriot Pet Cremation!

They made the so difficult process easier. Thank you all for everything.

I want to thank Dean for being so compassionate on the passing of my Boo. He picked her up and bought her home the same day. I highly recommend his services to anyone.

My Siberian Husky Zoey passed away suddenly on June 24th (Saturday) around 10 at night. We were able to take her to Patriot Pet Cremation at 12 the next morning. He was very respectful.

He was so respectful, thoughtful, and professional. He had my sweet girl ready to come home within just a few hours. I can not recommend this business enough for your pets end of life needs.

Me and my wife were looking through different options to get our fur baby Tinker taken care of after an unexpectedly short fight with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. After we talked with a few different local cremation businesses that handled pets and we told by most a 7 business day wait time and some up to 14 days. Me nor my wife were up for that long of a wait time to get our baby back, and after finding Dean and Patriot Pet Cremation we gave them a call. We dealt with both Dean and his wife Angelique. Both were extremely professional, answered any questions we had, and they were great to deal with through a difficult emotional time. We dropped our little Tinker off, and had her back home within just a few hours as opposed to a few business days. Dean and Angelique, me and my wife are very thankful for your care and punctuality through our difficult time. Thank you very much.-Tyler

Knowing our pet Sliders time was limited I reached out to Patriot Pet Cremation to make plans. When I called the phone was immediately answered by Dean as the main # is his personal cell. Once the call was complete all of my anxiety had turned to relief. This is a business but when you speak to Dean or his wife Angelique is does not feel that way. They make you feel at ease at such a trying time. They are so kind, caring, understanding, accommodating and respectful and this carries throughout the whole process. Their business is located on their beautiful homestead in Greenville and it is very personalized, no mass cremations. At such a crucial time it is reassuring to know that Patriot Pet Cremation is there to truly help you through it. Thank you Dean & Angelique

Patriot Pet Cremation was quick with the process and was able to help us early in the morning. While losing our cat Bryce was difficult, Dean made the process quick and got Bruce’s ashes to me quickly as well. Dean was very helpful and considerate throughout the process. If I ever lose another pet, he will be the one I go to. I am thankful for what Patriot Pet Cremation does and that it is local.

My oldest rabbit passed away last week and Dean treated us with the utmost respect. He kept me informed every step of the way, which I very much appreciated. I highly recommend Dean’s company.

It took me a few days to write this. The loss of my dog hit me much harder than I anticipated. Patriot Pet Cremation did everything possible to make our transition as smooth and as comfortable as possible. Dean is amazing, incredibly compassionate, and as professional of a man as you could ever expect to meet. He waited patiently at the veterinary clinic while we said our final goodbye to our beloved Trixie at 2pm. At 3pm my wife and I walked to the car, still sobbing and wishing it wasn’t true. 10 minutes later we got a call from Dean. “I have her, she’s in good hands, I promise I will take care of your girl.” We both bawled in the parking lot before heading home. Later, THAT SAME NIGHT, Dean called and said “everything is done and she’s ready to come home.” He brought her home to us. That alone deserves five stars. The same night; we didn’t have to wait weeks and feel like we’re reopening a wound that has yet to heal. Here’s where the best part is. Dean actually helped us find our healing path. He sat with us for more than half an hour and listened to us share our stories and our memories of our beloved boxer, Trixie. I still cry when I think about her, when I say her name or when I see her bed, but thanks to Dean, I don’t have to rip a band-aid off a wound in two or three weeks and do it all over again. I can begin to heal. There’s another five stars. This dog meant the world to us, so price was not a factor when it came to preserving her memory. But it mattered to Dean. He came and picked her up, did what needed to be done, brought her home to us in a beautiful brass urn with an engrave-able stand along with a little bit of her in two pendants to give to our daughters who adored this angel. This cost us less than $450. I assure you the service itself was worth the money, but the man who did it, he made it a priceless experience. Not that I want to have to go through this again, but one day, it will happen. When it does, there’s absolutely no question at all who I would have taking care of my pet and my family as we walk down this dark road. Thank-you Patriot Pet Cremation. We are ever grateful that there are people like you in this world. Bless you.
Matt Nelson
Very kind and compassionate with the upmost respect given to you and your pet.

Our precious Fifi passed away peacefully in her sleep October 28th. We found Patriot Pet Cremation online. I was so comforted by the level of trust and caring that each review conveyed. I called early in the morning to make arrangements and Dean was so sympathetic. He guided us through the process in such a caring manner. I highly recommend this wonderful, trustworthy company. We miss her more than words can express, but we are so thankful that Patriot Pet Cremation was there for us.

With tears in our eyes we spoke our last goodbye to our beloved little dachshund Ditto. Hearts broken we had a tough decision to make as to what happens next. We decided on cremation as a proper and dignified way to handle our little dog's remains. Searching the internet we found Patriot Pet Creamation, a phone call was made and Dean answered right away. In less than an hour Dean and his wife arrived at our house. They were very compassionate and understanding with our situation and listened carefully. Soft spoken, they explained their business and we began to find relief in the choice we had made. Thank you both so much, the dignity and respect you demonstrated in our time of need will remain with us along with the memories of our little Ditto.

We lost our beloved Charon on a Saturday. We were unsure what to do and who to call on a weekend. Dean returned a missed call to me and was very helpful and supportive, offering to meet us at our convienance. We were able to take our baby to Patriot Pet Cremation Sunday. He explained the process and time it would take. He notified me when all was taken care of so we would not worry. He also made it very convenient for us to schedule Charon to be picked. We highly recommend.
Michael Manning
Fantastic service and I recommend them strongly. Dignity and respect, hard enough to say goodbye to a cherished pet but Dean truly cares and takes care of final needs. I will be recommending them to all that need the service in the future.
Jacqueline Franko
Dean Achord helped to make one of the hardest things I’ve had to do a little bit easier. He was waiting for me outside the door like an honor guard. Walked me through everything and never made me feel rushed or pressured. He made it easy to have full confidence and trust in him. He had everything there that you could need and more. No quess work. I highly recommend Patriot Pet Cremation to anyone in need. He helped me on a Saturday afternoon and I was able to pick up that same night. His pricing is great too. I would drive out of my way for his services. They’re kind, caring, trustworthy, honest, helpful, patient.Can’t say enough good things about this place.
Kevin Casson
Dean did such a great job with my boy. This conversation nor process is easy, but Dean handled it with poise and understanding. He was in communication with me the whole time and made sure I was ready to have the conversation. Highly recommend for any pet cremation services. More than accommodating.

We have had very good service from Patriot Pet Cremation for two pets. The service has always been great and they have gone out of their way to make everything as easy as possible.

Yesterday our 17 year old dog passed away unexpectedly. We knew she was aging but did not realize that the her time to see the rainbow bridge was approaching so soon. Patriot Pet Cremation met us at the door with respect and kindness. They walked us through the process with kindness and compassion. Our sweet girl was returned to us in less than 24hours. We are so thankful for the care they showed. The only reason I am giving a 5 Star review is because they don't offer a 10 star option, Thank y'all from my family.
TN Jones
Not enough stars to rate my experience!!!I went with my sister to pick up our family member, ANDY! The absolute and complete respect upon meeting you Dean was admirable. A firm handshake for myself as well as my sister was gratifying. You showed compassion and regard that most people do not have the ability to show. Nor would they understand! Eye contact during our discussion of Andy and his character was observed. You never tried to rush us out of your office, your attentive and caring nature was completely genuine! My sister has had a tough year and the loss of Andy is devastating. You did an outstanding job of showing respect and dignity for the loss of our family member. What I observed as we were leaving was a moving experience. You stood at parade rest….and bowed your head!!! A form of respect, that only a man of 100% good character and honor would do. You talked to Andy when you picked him up, this is unheard of. Your professionalism and respect is is amazing! Thank You Sincerely Tim J
Olivia Ford
Dean was a great guy and done an amazing job with my little puppy. He went and got her and we got her back same day. Love the high quality necklace with the ashes and the high quality box for her and picture frame. Highly recommend.
Stephany Roach
We lost our beloved Reese on the evening of August 3rd. He was a lovable guinea pig with a big personality. He was so sweet and was truly loved by his human best friend. I called several other places that were disrespectful of our loss. I found Patriot Pet Cremation through a tearful google search. When I called Dean he had this warm hearted tone to his voice. He assured me that our Reese would be treated with compassion and care. When we arrived to Patriot Pet Cremation, he was standing outside waiting by the door for me. He explained the process to me and offered me the opportunity to place my Reese in the chamber. He allowed me to tell a story about his character, let me cry, gave me tissues. As I left and got back in the car, he stood outside once again as we pulled away. The respect he has for us and our pet is unmatched. I guarantee you wont get this level of care anywhere else. Thank you Dean for making this unimaginable loss such a loving and caring experience!!
Charlie Elmo
Dean, done an amazing job with our Maddie. We are very pleased his caring sympathy for our loss. The laser work on the ern we choose was absolutely magnificent. We would 100% recommend him and his services.
Nancy Ealey
I would like to publicly thank Dean of Patriot Pet Crematory for his services. For going above andbeyond in helping us through a most difficult time.Our precious little fur baby Gracie passed last night.Like anyone that loves their pet..we are heartbroken.We had seen a brochure at our vets office about this business, not thinking we would need for several more years. I just tucked that info in the back of my mind.Unfortunately we found ourselves needing that helpthis morning. I called and left a message with a return call within 30 minutes. I didn't know what to ask, but his forthcoming information answered everything. We took our li'l Gracie, and we're met by a very professional and caring man. He explained everything to us and we chosethe items we wanted for her cremains and what would be engraved on them. Through this whole process Deanwas so understanding and kind, giving all the time wewanted to make choices and say goodbye to our baby girl. We were able to pick her up later this afternoon,which was absolutely wonderful. Now I have her home with me❤️. I had said I would like to have her blanket embroidered and he even gave me contact info for someone to do that. This young man showed us the utmost respect making our hard time more bearable.He is retired military and his training and respect is admirably shown in his business. When the time comes and I am in this situation again..I most definitely will call on Dean..Thank you so much for all of your kindnessIt is appreciated more than you know.Nancy & Buddy
Azriel Eli
Thank you so much for taking care of my best friends Bandit kitty, and for helping make sure she could keep her baby with her forever, even on such short notice. Your compassion, professionalism and respect is truly above and beyond!Bandit was one of a kind and I truly cannot thank you enough for helping us to give him the final respects he truly deserved.
Harley Davidson
Patriot Pet Cremation has been so welcoming, understanding, and reliable during my families losses. A couple of years ago they helped us put our sweet great dane to rest and have now helped us with our family cat. They truly care.
Jake Phillips
Wonderful company, Dean went above and beyond to work with my schedule. He even came out to my house to pick up my pet when I felt too emotional to drive. I was very surprised at the amount of care and respect I was shown throughout the whole process, he treated me like a friend instead of a customer. I'm very glad I called Patriot.
Courtney Mckinney
On Saturday our baby of 16 years took her last breath we had wanted to have her cremated to be able to just keep her with us we thought we weren’t going to be able to sense it was a weekend. Thankfully we found Dean at Patriot Pet Cremation it was a flat rate no matter the time, holiday, or weekend so we called & were there within the hour. He had her ready & let us pick her up this Sunday morning which we were extremely thankful. He showed us so much care, respect & even let me leave go to the store to get a few things & he painted her paw to give us some paw prints to keep forever. I could not thank him enough for everything he done & showing so much compassion & love towards Dixie. Dean you really are appreciated for everything you did for us. Fighting through the tears I wanted to tell you thank you for your service not only for Dixie but for our country!
Jessica Mullins
Dean treated us with the utmost respect and dignity. He was very caring, yet very professional. His facility was spotless. I do not look forward to losing another pet in the future, but I take comfort knowing I will use him again to take care it.
Myra TRAVIS
Dean was extremely professional, polite, and forthcoming with information throughout the entire the process. I was very pleased with the efficiency in particular; he finished the same day I dropped off my pet, and had everything ready for me to pick up the next day. The rosewood urns he offers, which I selected, are well crafted and exactly what I was hoping for. I was happy to find these services in my area, but happier still with the quality and professionalism.
Annette Calobrisi
On Saturday I had to have my baby euthanized after a long battle with Degenerative Myelopathy. Both Dean and his wife were great. Theyre both very kind and compassionate.. I talked to them the night before and Dean met me at the vet and took him away. I was destroyed and I did not want to have to drive with him so the pickup service they offer is great. They even drop off if you chose to do so. He was done that night and back home with me the next morning. I highly recommend them. I know vets offer their own cremation services but I've read alot of things online where some cremate a bunch at one time and you don't know who you're getting back and that is why I like to support small businesses
Traci Skipper
Dean @ Patriot Pets has been absolutely great! He helped guide my husband and I through this heart breaking time in our lives ...Our sweet girl didn't like the vets office and we were sceptical if we did take her to the vet if we would even get her remains back. We chose Dean he let us come in an see his medical grade inferno, he explained the whole process and eased our minds greatly. His shop is exceptionally clean and in an absolutely beautiful country setting...I do not know Dean personally, I found him here on Google just like you and I can say highly recommend him and his services ..Thanks agian Dean for making this process as pleasant as it could be. We appreciate you.

We had a very satisfying and comforting experience when dealing with Patriot Pet Cremation. They took excellent care of our Zeus and had him ready for us in less than 12 hours. Veteraned owned is always a plus and both Wes and his wife were extremely respectful and sensitive to our loss. There is no one else I would recommend or every use beside them again. Thank You for your help, consideration and excellent level of service!
Kayla Greear
Our baby dog had died Monday and we didn’t know where to go but we seen this place and knew he was amazing ! He was patient and sympathetic which everyone needs during a time like this. So if you have an animal pass, come here he is amazing. And thank you for you service!
Stephanie Wilburn
We recently lost our fur baby Addie Lou. The gentleman at Patriot Pet was very kind, courteous, and sympathetic. He was very helpful and walked me through how the process of how cremation worked. The facility was very nice and clean. I would definitely use them again if we lose anymore fur babies. I highly recommend Patriot Pet Cremation. Five Star rating.
Gayle Eppich Carlisle
In today's public service sector, it seems that Good Customer Service is difficult to find. This is not the case at Patriot Pet Cremation! Recently our beloved Lily passed away on a Saturday. We contacted Dean of Patriot Pet Cremation and he was there for us! He was compassionate and Very Reverent of our Loss. I have owned and managed businesses and Customer Service was Very High on My List. I was extremely impressed with Dean and the entire manner in which he handled our delicate situation. He deserves a Five Star Rating, Higher if it was available. Thank You, Dean, and Blessings Always to You and Your Family!
Angel McCoy
My heart was shattered into a million pieces Sunday January 15, 2023. I lost my precious baby girl Roxie Ann. She was 13 and half years old. My heart couldn't let me bury her in the ground. So I looked up pet cremation on the internet. An the first one that came to me was Patriot Pet Cremation. So I called and spoke with the owner and asked a few questions about how much and so forth on how they would do it and all that. But let me tell you how very impressed I was with Patriot Pet Cremation. I've never in my life felt the most respect, dignity and love that this man gave to me and my family for the lost of our precious baby. I'm talking even from a family members funeral, never have I seen or felt the passionate that someone gives to someone for losing a loved one as much as Dean did at Patriot Pet Cremation. This man was great he went above and beyond for us. An I want to thank him for all he has done for us and also I want to thank Dean for his service in the military. THANK YOU DEAN YOU'RE THE GREATEST MAN EVER. When we dropped my baby off and was about to leave this man Dean stood at the front door with his hands together and head down til we was out of sight. When we went around the last curve were we couldn't see him any longer is when he finally done what he had to do. But I've never saw anyone be so much respectful as this man did. I'm so lost at words. I don't know how to put my feeling in words for how grateful I am for all he has done for me. For all my fur babies he will have my business when they go to be with Jesus. Again I just want to take the time and THANK YOU AGAIN DEAN. YOU'RE THE BEST.
Joseph St. Angelo
When our middle-aged dog, Bella, needed to be put down I ran a quick web search for pet cremation services and Patriot Pet Cremation was at the top of the list. After calling and then meeting the owner it was clear why this business is so highly rated.You can count on high professionalism, undivided attention and empathy for clients and their pets. Clients can be assured that their pet is cared for with dignity and respect as well as being confident that the remains they receive afterward are of their own pet.Dean makes time for his clients to answer any questions they may have or to talk about whatever might be on their minds. He is a high quality person, and his service is above and beyond expectations. I'm so grateful that we connected with Patriot Pet Cremation to help us with navigating a difficult time.
Chad G
Dean was super accomodating toward me when my found my beautiful 12yo dog had been hit by a car. It was a very hard thing to go through and although we had just met I felt like he was there for me. He let me stick around as long as I needed and I think it helped me to be in a beautiful country setting rather than a vet office or funeral home. I was happy for the decision I made when I went with his cremation service and he was very reasonably priced. Thanks again Dean for helping me through such a traumatizing event. She will be missed.
Merri H
The service we received was excellent. Dean was very sympathetic to our loss and went out of his way to make sure everything we wanted was done. He would send text messages as to what steps were completed and the arranged for a time where we could pick up our sweet Bubba's remains. We would first like to thank him for his service to our country and next for the care he took with Bubba and our needs. We have several other pets that will one day pass and at that time we will use his services again. Thank you so much.John & Merri
Dillon Lawson
Dean was awesome with our Choco! He was fast and done everything possible to make the situation more bearable. The prices were very cheap for the cremation and the accessories. He was able to take paw prints and make some really cool necklaces to remember our sweet boy! I would absolutely recommend Patriot Pet Cremation to anyone who find themselves in this sad situation.
aspen grapes creates
Would recommend Patriot Pet Cremation to anyone in need of this service. Dean made such a sad time very peaceful & helped me give my pet an honorable send off. Going above & beyond, he thought of details I never would have. Furthermore, I was kept informed of every step of the process & always knew what was going on & why which was very helpful to me as I’d never had a pet cremated. They are doing a great service at Patriot Pet Cremation. The reviews are accurate & you will not regret choosing them.
Leah Rowe
Dean was amazing. He was so kind and helped my family through this heart wrenching process. He treated my family and my fur baby with such kindness and respect. I thank him for his service to our country and for his service through this tough time.
Regina Stone
I always knew when the time came, I would explore Patriot Pet Cremation and I was not disappointed. I'm 110% satisfied with the service provided. The kindness and compassion shown during my time of loss was sincere and tremendously appreciated! Thank you Dean and Patriot Pet Cremation!
Michelle Schmutzler
A+ service. The owner stood at attention, in the pouring rain, to greet my Sarge. Very, kind and respectful to me and my dog. He stood at attention when we left, and when I returned to pick my boy up, and when we pulled out! Very clean, calming atmosphere. I hope I don’t need his services again, any time soon. But, if I do I will definitely use this company again.
Kandi Bryant
I wanted to take a moment and brag about an amazing local business. When Sam passed away last week, I was completely heartbroken. We contacted Patriot Pet Cremation for their services. They were amazing! They treated our doggo with utmost respect and dignity throughout the process and showed nothing but compassion and empathy to all of us. They were just angels sent to help in our time of need. Unfortunately death is a part of life and if anyone finds themselves in need of such services, please reach out to these guys. You will be supporting a local business that is owned and operated by a disabled veteran. They are just wonderful human beings and I can't say enough kind words about them.
Danielle Largent
We are so very thankful for Dean at Patriot Pet Cremation. The experience was amazing and the amount of respect he showed was out of this world. We appreciate you more than you know. Thank you for taking care of lil bit. I dont think I would of trusted anyone else. Truly thank you!
Makaila Rae
Patriot is the only pet cremation we will use. Dean is so respectful and understanding of the hard times that bring us to meeting but he always treats it as an honor to help us in grieving and memorializing our pets. The service he offers is such a good rate, he is fast and efficient and have beautiful urns to hold your loved ones ashes.I highly recommend using Patriot Pet Cremation.
Tammy Bearden
Could have not been happier but still heartbroken when Tater Tot came back home. My boyfriend Kevin took him to Patriot Pet Cremation and had nothing but great things to say about the experience with the process. He experienced the up most professionalism and compassion from Dean. I have already referred a friend.God Bless and Thank you,Tammy
Charles Peters
I never would've thought cremation would give me the closure I needed after my fur daughter Coco crossed the rainbow bridge at age 19. I searched pet cremation in my area and found Patriot. Dean is a Godsend who is very respectable, sympathetic and trustworthy. He will explain the whole process to you and let you know what to expect. He went far and beyond my expectations and made this whole process easier to deal with. I explained to him I wanted to bury a small amount of Coco's ashes with my daughter who passed away and he packaged me a small amount separate no charge. I will be using Dean again in the future when the sad time comes that my family loses another pet. Thank you so much for everything. You are an amazing individual and I couldn't be more blessed that my family chose you for this difficult time we had to endure.
Jordyn Pope
Absolutely awesome service. Dean was the only one who could help us when our Sammie was killed and he did it with all the care in the world. He went above and beyond to help us and make this terrible time for us as pain free as possible. He is open when you need him and doesn't make you wait to take care of your beloved friend like other places will. Absolutely go to Patriot Pet Cremation and have Dean and his lovely wife help you if you find yourself in these sad circumstances.
Carrie Ann Cox
I recommend this business 100% very respectful and does great things besides cremation . My family was on vacation and my mother in law's dog got hit and killed so I called him and we drove 45 minutes to his business and he had him ready same day and he's a veteran and has a heart of gold .. My boys say when we lose our dog they are driving her 10 hours from Florida to have him cremate her . Check his website out for laser on wood I will be buying Christmas gifts from him ..
Lora Gray
This was a purely amazing service!! Would definitely recommend 10 out of 10. The owner was so kind and understanding in our time of despair, it was very comforting. If you ever lose a pet that you just can't bear to let go this is the way to go. Pricing is very reasonable and up front so there are no surprises during pickup. An urn is included in pricing but the gentlemen that runs it has a beautiful selection of others available for purchase. He also offers necklaces and keychains which hold pets ashes. We will definitely be back (hopefully not anytime soon) in the event of another pet passing. Thank you so much Dean for providing this service and being so respectful and kind. We absolutely love the way everything came out, very impressed!
Benson Southerland
Dean recently provided cremation services for our pet of 14 years. Without doubt, he is the most professional, courteous, and caring provider of any business we’ve dealt with. We would recommend him for any pet cremation services you may ever need.
Mandy Hutton
He was so respectful, thoughtful, and professional. He had my sweet girl ready to come home within just a few hours. I can not recommend this business enough for your pets end of life needs.

Such a compassionate and professional business. This is our second baby we have taken to Dean. Each time he was caring and took time to listen to us tell stories about our babies. He makes a stressful and sad day a little better and easier. Thank you, Dean.
Joseph Mims
We lost our beloved pet on July 14th. This happened to be on a Sunday and no one was answering the phones at the various places that I called. I called this number and spoke to Angelique. She was very friendly and compassionate. I brought our pet there And she even offered to have the service completed later in the evening if I wanted. We met up the next day to collect the ashes and the whole transaction was smooth. I was happy to be able to use a husband and wife team and not a traditional corporation. Their operation is out in the country in a peaceful setting and not your typical clinical setting. I most definitely recommend them should you find yourself needing this service!

Dean was absolutely wonderful. Very caring and respectful in our time of grief over our fur baby Addy Mae passing. Kept us informed during the whole process. If ever needed again we will not think twice about using his services.

This place is amazing! I called Dean late on a Friday night he came and picked up my dog after he had passed was super caring compassionate took great care of my dog and I was able to go pick him up the next day and a beautiful wooden urn and a beautiful necklace he does really great work will definitely be recommending him to all my family and friends when they have a pet pass!

What you did for my baby girl will never be forgotten. Thank you so much for everything. The respect you showed was above and beyond. Thank you for giving me something I will cherish for years to come. 5 stars just isn’t enough for what you did. From the bottom of my heart thank you. Zoey was loved by so many and her memories will live on for years to come . Thank you Dean I couldn’t ask for anything better for her

It was a difficult time, but Dean at Patriot was so kind and took care of my best fur friend with so much care and respect. I can't thank him enough for his service to our country and his kind service for families like mine. Thank you so much Dean.

Very respectful of your love and difficult time with your pet. He helped my best friend with her cat marley and my friend was very distraught with the situation. I highly recommend that if you want your pet to be treated like family you should go here. He stood at attention as she dropped her baby off and picked her up for the last time. Owned local, by a veteran who we are very appreciative of his service then and now. We couldn't have asked for someone to treat her as well as she was. He also upheld all of my friends wishes and kept her updated throughout the process. And he also goes out of his way to be there any time day or night he met us at 2am. No questions asked. Didnt ask us to wait or anything. If I could give 10 stars we would. And we will definitely be trusting him with the rest of our pets as well!

Took excellent care of my family in our time of need. Polite and respectful, even when I called late at night. As long as they are in business, no one else will take care of my pets.

We lost our Sebastian on a late Friday evening. Dean met me way after hours and walked me though the process and worked through the night have him ready the next morning. He definitely went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of in the most respected way possible. Highly highly recommend!

We found Patriot to be extremely professional, caring, and respectful throughout the entire process. We felt confident that our pet was treated with dignity. While not something one looks forward to, when the time comes for another pet to need these services we will use Patriot again.

Your compassion, professionalism and respect is truly above and beyond!Bandit was one of a kind and I truly cannot thank you enough for helping us to give him the final respects he truly deserved.

Patriot Pet Cremation has been so welcoming, understanding, and reliable during my families losses. A couple of years ago they helped us put our sweet great dane to rest and have now helped us with our family cat. They truly care.
Jake Phillips
Wonderful company, Dean went above and beyond to work with my schedule. He even came out to my house to pick up my pet when I felt too emotional to drive. I was very surprised at the amount of care and respect I was shown throughout the whole process, he treated me like a friend instead of a customer. I'm very glad I called Patriot.

On Saturday our baby of 16 years took her last breath we had wanted to have her cremated to be able to just keep her with us we thought we weren’t going to be able to sense it was a weekend. Thankfully we found Dean at Patriot Pet Cremation it was a flat rate no matter the time, holiday, or weekend so we called & were there within the hour. He had her ready & let us pick her up this Sunday morning which we were extremely thankful. He showed us so much care, respect & even let me leave go to the store to get a few things & he painted her paw to give us some paw prints to keep forever. I could not thank him enough for everything he done & showing so much compassion & love towards Dixie. Dean you really are appreciated for everything you did for us. Fighting through the tears I wanted to tell you thank you for your service not only for Dixie but for our country!

Dean treated us with the utmost respect and dignity. He was very caring, yet very professional. His facility was spotless. I do not look forward to losing another pet in the future, but I take comfort knowing I will use him again to take care it.
Myra TRAVIS
Dean was extremely professional, polite, and forthcoming with information throughout the entire the process. I was very pleased with the efficiency in particular; he finished the same day I dropped off my pet, and had everything ready for me to pick up the next day. The rosewood urns he offers, which I selected, are well crafted and exactly what I was hoping for. I was happy to find these services in my area, but happier still with the quality and professionalism.

On Saturday I had to have my baby euthanized after a long battle with Degenerative Myelopathy. Both Dean and his wife were great. Theyre both very kind and compassionate.. I talked to them the night before and Dean met me at the vet and took him away. I was destroyed and I did not want to have to drive with him so the pickup service they offer is great. They even drop off if you chose to do so. He was done that night and back home with me the next morning. I highly recommend them. I know vets offer their own cremation services but I've read alot of things online where some cremate a bunch at one time and you don't know who you're getting back and that is why I like to support small businesses

Dean @ Patriot Pets has been absolutely great! He helped guide my husband and I through this heart breaking time in our lives ...Our sweet girl didn't like the vets office and we were sceptical if we did take her to the vet if we would even get her remains back. We chose Dean he let us come in an see his medical grade inferno, he explained the whole process and eased our minds greatly. His shop is exceptionally clean and in an absolutely beautiful country setting...I do not know Dean personally, I found him here on Google just like you and I can say highly recommend him and his services ..Thanks agian Dean for making this process as pleasant as it could be. We appreciate you.

We had a very satisfying and comforting experience when dealing with Patriot Pet Cremation. They took excellent care of our Zeus and had him ready for us in less than 12 hours. Veteraned owned is always a plus and both Wes and his wife were extremely respectful and sensitive to our loss. There is no one else I would recommend or every use beside them again. Thank You for your help, consideration and excellent level of service!

Our baby dog had died Monday and we didn’t know where to go but we seen this place and knew he was amazing ! He was patient and sympathetic which everyone needs during a time like this. So if you have an animal pass, come here he is amazing. And thank you for you service!
