Losing a pet is an incredibly traumatic experience, & calling around for cremation services an hour after ours passed left us feeling frustrated by the apathy of so many places. That all changed when we called Bakersfield Pet Crematory. Chris, the owner, answered the phone & was immediately sympathetic. He understood how awful it is to deal with uncaring businesses while grieving. He shared his own experience with his K9 & explained that he started this business specifically to provide a better, more compassionate experience for pet owners in this difficult situation.He was extremely professional, empathetic, & quick. We actually drove an hour & a half & paid more just to come here, simply because we refused to let our pet's final arrangements be tainted by the poor service at closer options. Chris & his team took beautiful care of her. They included an imprint of her feet (they also offered one of her face, which we opted out of due to not being able to handle that emotionally, but I’m sure other owners would love the option), along with feathers from her tail, wings, & cheeks. Chris also sat down with us to carefully customize her urn, helping us choose the perfect font, color, & engraved angel wings. I cannot recommend Chris & his business highly enough, thank you for providing such caring & quality service during a difficult time.
