I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who needs to say goodbye to their pet. Mary was extremely compassionate and accommodating. I suddenly lost my cat very early in the morning over the weekend. I called in and was able to take him in that same day. Within a week I had my boy home in a beautiful box I picked out. I really appreciate this mom and pop style business, it made me feel at home whole I was going through a very hard time.

Mary and Barry were so kind and thoughtful during one of the hardest times of my life. One of the only pet cramtoriums to actually pick up the phone, and the only one who would agree to cremate my beloved python who we had the opportunity to love for 13 beautiful years. We turned down the urn as we're making something ourselves, but our baby was delivered to us in this pretty little tin that was just right. Hopefully we won't need these services again for a long time, but I've recommended this business to every pet owner I know! Well worth the drive from Cumberland County.

We have used Richmond Pet Cremation services for two of our rabbits we lost. Mary was very sweet and compassionate both times and never made us feel like we weren't welcomed. We were able to choose beautiful boxes both times and an engraved plate for both. We even got to get a paw print of our last bunny that passed. Mary was understanding when we had to reschedule a couple times and Barry went over everything with us. Never once did we feel like they were only out to make money.

I agree with the last review. Mary is extremely rude. I called looking for options for my cat in hospice care, and she was short, cold, and barely spoke. I said I wasn't interested due to lack of compassion and ended the call. She proceeded to call me back to leave a rude voicemail that she "didn't want to work with me either." I understand personal issues and having a bad day, but you're in funerary service. Kindness is paramount there. I'm very glad I decided to look elsewhere for help through this difficult time.
