    I first discovered CPC a couple of years ago when a very special rooster of mine passed away, I called after dark on a weekday and David told me I could come right then to bring him, he was so friendly, helpful and it didn’t seem to faze him that this wasn’t the typical domesticated pet. The cremation happened very quickly, and David even met me closer in to deliver our buddy back to us. Fast forward to this Sunday, my beloved cat Dolly passed away and CPC was the first place I thought of knowing I wanted to have Dolly cremated, I reached out in tears and yet again, David was helpful, let me bring her that day, cremated my girl the next day and I picked her up that evening. I could not be more grateful for CPC’s help when grief stricken. Us pet lovers all know what’s in store when we own a pet, there’s always that one day we don’t want to think about, but I could not recommend CPC more when you’re in that unfortunate place in time.

    When our daughters sweet cat passed suddenly, we were unsure how to proceed on a weekend. After a few phone calls, we chose to take the short drive to bring Mackenzie to David. David was so kind from beginning to end, showing us options and even handling my indecisiveness with grace. Being our daughter’s first cat that she picked out herself, we wanted to be able to honor him properly for her. Upon receiving Kenzie, David placed him in a bassinet and allowed our girl to say goodbye to her beloved Kenzie cat. A few short days later at pickup, David included the sweetest nose print and paw print, along with a tuft of fur, which means so much to our daughter. She loves her special key ring that carries a small amount of Mackenzie’s ashes, so she can keep him close by always.Thank you so much, David, for your kindness and compassion. You were so easy to talk to, and took so many of our worries away.

    I can’t thank David enough for how kind and caring his was toward the death of our precious dog, “Miley”. He took his time talking to us about Miley’s life and telling us all about or options. He contacted us later to check on us. He did such a great job. I loved the dog print of Miley and the lock of hair. I’ve told everyone about how David made this alot easier. Thanks so much.

    Very thankful for the friendly and supportive people at CPC. Being the first time I’ve lost a furry buddy in many years they were very understanding and helpful even outside of their normal hours. They worked with me and communicated very well to make sure my fur baby was taken care of respectfully and lovingly. I got a beautiful wooden kitty urn (pictured) and special clay paw print and nose print. Very special. And I will not forget their kindness.
    Major league thanks to David and services. Total professional and accommidating to our needs and situation. Jake, our youngest dog (10)passed away suddenly on 24 Jan. and David was there the very next day to help us and he completely put us at ease about the process. I just can’t explain how much easier it is to deal with this type of situation when the person helping is completely committed to helping you through as well performing the task at hand. Kudos to you David and may you continue with much success in your endeavors

    After almost 20 years of friendship, losing my Bailey was unbearable. The thought of leaving her in the freezer at the vet for days or weeks while waiting for her to be cremated was beyond comprehension. David allowed me the opportunity to stay with her as long as possible, treated my loss with the compassion I truly needed in that moment, and allowed me to have Bailey back home the same night.In a world short on empathy and understanding, David offers a service in such a way that reminds you of the good that still exists in humanity.David – there are no words that can express my gratitude. This review is just a way to promote a deserving business owner and help other grieving families cope with the loss.
