We know how hard sometimes it is to take your pet to the veterinarian. If you are looking for someone to come to your home, we work with Dr. Rider @ Hello Harmony Vet. She specializes in In-Home Euthanasia along with hospice care for your pet. If you chose cremation she does offer to bring your pet to us and one less thing you need to worry about. Please call her or go to her website with any questions you may have or we can be reached with any questions about the cremation process, 309-283-7747.

We are now offering clay nose prints for our families. These are more difficult to make so they are $50 each. Otherwise we are still making clay paw prints for $35.
If you prefer just to have an ink paw print we do offer those also. They are included with a private cremation but can purchase separately with a general cremation.

During your difficult time losing your pet, we are here to help make things as easy as possibly for you. We appreciate all the families that have referred their friends and families to us.

I saw this and wanted to share:

For those who had to make the extraordinaryly hard decision to have their pet put down just know that you made the right decision for them. A decision that was thoughtfully taken and made out of pure love for your pets wellbeing. I had to make the same decision for my baby girl and yes she could’ve been alive but she would’ve been suffering and I didn’t want her to have to suffer so that I may have her even one more day in my life. You see the sacrifices we make as pet parents sometimes are some of the hardest you’ll ever have to make in your life but the reward is even greater for your baby and you. We as pet parents must do what’s best for them always. Remember they are counting on us for everything and if they could talk they would tell you it’s okay mom/dad to let go now I will forever remain in your heart ♥️ and our memories and we will be together again one day. 🙏🏼♥️😇🥹 You are doing the right thing.
