An Overdue Tribute to Lily and Heartfelt Thanks to Always Here Pet Cremation It's taken me three months to write this review--every attempt brought tears. Losing Lily was one of the hardest moments of my life, and finding the right words has been just as difficult. Our beloved Lily crossed the rainbow bridge peacefully on Father's Day, June 15, 2025. We were blessed to share ten beautiful years together after rescuing her from the shelter. But in truth, she rescued me. Her loyalty, joy, and quiet companionship lit up even my darkest days. I found Always Here Pet Cremation through Yelp, and I'm so grateful I did. David arrived at our home within 30 minutes, as he happened to be nearby. Despite our overwhelming grief, his presence was comforting--he was empathetic, sincere, and treated Lily with the utmost respect. Just a few days later, David returned with Lily's ashes and a lock of her hair, both beautifully packaged. It was a small gesture that meant the world to us. This kind of thoughtful service helped ease our pain and brought a sense of peace during an incredibly difficult time. Thank you, David, for your kindness and professionalism. You made an unbearable moment a little more bearable, and I will wholeheartedly recommend your services to family and friends. And to Lily--thank you for always being by my side. You are deeply missed and forever remembered with love.

Davis is amazing!!!!!! He made this difficult time for me as smooth as possible and got my baby home to me within a couple days!!!

Patches, my cat

Losing my sweet girl Patches was one of the hardest days of my life, but thankfully I found Always Here Pet Cremations and was able to give her the care her remains deserved. David was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and patient with us. From the moment we contacted him to the day of drop off, everything went smoothly. David assured me that Patches would be taken care of very well and walked me through the whole process, making sure I knew what to expect. The cost was very low considering the sweet keepsakes, the pickup/drop-off service, rapid responses, and the private cremation. I got my baby's ashes back within 5 days. Thank you again David for your amazing care and compassion with Patches and our family.

When our dog Lambo passed away, it was already close to evening time. However David, answered our call and was quick to honor our beloved pet. Our pet was returned by the end of the week in a beautiful wooden box, his paw print, and a patch of his fur for our family to remember him by. Thank you Always Here Pet Cremations!

Our family's beloved 17-year-old Yorkie, Duke, crossed the rainbow bridge in early June. David embodies the mission of Always Here - "Your Family becomes our Family until we return your Loved One back home to you. Our Family Serving Yours." Although it is his family business, we felt like David is our family friend who deeply cared for us throughout the process. Their website is full of information on their service (pick up, drop off, individual and communal cremation options, pricing), etc. We could trust David completely from the beginning. His professionalism with empathy gave our family great comfort and words cannot describe how grateful we are. Looking back, we cannot help but think Duke led us to David to ease our pain. Thanks to Always Here, Duke will always be here with us.

Our Sweet Boy, Forky.

Very empathetic, responsive, and all around nice guy to talk to. We lost Forky April 27. I called David in tears; my husband and I were heartbroken. Forky was and will always be so special to us. I found Forky in Inglewood. He was in terrible condition! He was chipped, and I made contact with the owner, but the owner said to keep him. I take this sweetest boy to the vet. He has heart disease, kidney disease, skin infection, arthritis, blind in one eye, no jaw. I was not going to put him out or take my sweet boy to the shelter. We pay the bill, give him his medication and provide him with all the comfort we could. He meant A LOT to us. He lived two more years despite his health conditions. We were crazy about him and spoiled him so much! He had his own wardrobe, temper- pedic bed, baby blankets, CHI hair products, some of the best human grade organic dog food we could buy, and took daily supplements so he could continue his daily walks. Forky's birthday was March 9. We gave him a bone in New York Strip Steak and sang him happy birthday. He ate the entire thing, even with no jaw. He looked SOOOO happy! I miss his presence, but I'm at peace that he's running around free like a puppy in heaven with no pain. As you can see, we would have never handed Forky over to someone we didn't feel we could trust to care for his body. This is a very difficult experience, but David is in the right field. He will treat your sweet fur baby with respect and kindness. I made the right call.

I lost my dear Skip unexpectedly. I had no idea what to do as I was in shock. Fortunately I found this company. When David arrived, I was so crushed I could barely speak. David was kind, patient and empathetic - which didn't go unnoticed. David returned Skip to me faster than I anticipated - which was great because it felt like he was home again. The box he came in is perfect and the paw print and clay print are keepsakes I'll cherish forever. Finally, I just want to say - I miss my Skip terribly. I would do anything to have him back. I live alone and have no family in California. Skippy was my family and I'm crushed he's gone. He was the perfect dog for me and I'm so thankful to have been his human. I miss you so much Skippy. I hope you're enjoying heaven.

Our sweet baby Grace was at the end of her amazing 19 year life. We contacted David to inquire about cremation services when the time came and he was so lovely and helpful and responded so quickly to every message. Our girl hung in there and it finally became evident that we needed to help her cross the rainbow bridge. David referred us to Dr. Taylor Campione at "Apawthecary" who came to our home to help us transition Gracie into a peaceful sleep. The whole experience was particularly touching because our adult son with Autism was having an extra hard time letting go. David has such a beautiful spirit and knew exactly what to say to make our son and us feel at peace. A week later, David delivered our Gracie's ashes, along with a clay paw print, and a clipping of her fur back to our home. As much as we were heartbroken, we were also incredibly thankful to David and Always Here Pet Cremations for the time and care they provided to our sweet baby Grace.

Losing my cat Bamboozle who was with me 14 years, was the most confusing situation for me. David from Always Here Pet Cremations honestly was God sent he came and got Bamboozle immediately after talking to him made special arrangements for me. Returned my Bamboozle to me and home so fast. I can not tell you how genuine and kindly it was handled.

This was one of hardest search on yelp that I have done. But I am truly grateful that I found David. I can't thank him enough for everything he did for us. He responds in a timely manner and was so gentle and caring when picking up our dog Rocky. He made sure he explained every detail from start to finish. He returned him back home in a timely manner, which we really appreciate. 100x THANK YOU DAVID !!!

Lori S.

I have not used this service yet, but I will definitely when the time comes. I spoke to David today for a pre-need inquiry. He was very helpful, patient, and comforting. When it's time for my senior dog Ty to cross the rainbow bridge to doggy heaven I will definitely use this service. David gave me peace of mind and end of time advice.

Our Yorkie London passed away on August 25, 2026. We received a couple of pet crematory…read morerecommendations from Paws Cause, and this was one of them. This was the best place for us. We were able to drop her off by 10:00 a.m. that same morning. They had a bed ready for her, and we were able to witness her cremation the very next day. When we returned on August 26 for the viewing, the setup exceeded our expectations. London was on the same bed with a blanket over her and looked peaceful. We had about 30 minutes with her and were never rushed. After the cremation, we received her ashes an hour and a half later. Everyone we met was compassionate and helpful. We would not hesitate to use them again.

Not many crematoriums are open on Sundays. I called a number in Van Nuys that I found on Yelp, but the man referred me to Furrever Friends. I'm so glad he did. Heather at Furrever Friends was so kind on the phone and in person. She made the entire process very smooth and easy. She discussed everything with me - their strict cremation process, what to expect with the final package, etc. Honestly, I didn't ask; she just told me. I wasn't functioning very well that day. I picked up Franklin today after only a 4-day wait. At the shop, Heather surprised me with Frank's paw and nose prints on wood and paper! What a thoughtful idea! (I'm sure she told me about it on Sunday, but I really wasn't present.) I almost broke down in front of her when I saw his nose. We used to "boop" that thing! Frank himself is resting in a beautiful wooden box. He's coming home now. Heather, thank you so much for the amazing love and care you showed us! I won't forget you.

During such a heartbreaking time, they were incredibly understanding of our grief and never once made us feel rushed, especially when it came to payment. They gave us the time and space we needed to mourn our beloved pet. The urn they created for us was beautiful and included so many thoughtful touches.

I didn't know what to do or who to call. I first contacted another place, but unfortunately, they weren't very helpful and didn't offer much guidance or even condolences. Then I found this place, and I'm so grateful I did. A sweet girl named Zaira was so kind and helpful. She took the time to explain everything they offered and answered all my questions. Right away, I felt comfortable and, in such a difficult moment, I felt some comfort knowing Lily was in good hands. They picked up our Lily whenever we were ready, and everyone we spoke with was so kind and respectful. I also really loved the urn they provided for her. It was beautiful and something we will always cherish. Thank you so much to Zaira and the entire staff for treating Lily and our family with such kindness during one of the hardest moments we've ever experienced. I truly appreciate everything you did for us.

I wish I could give 10 stars…read more I can't say enough good things about Oliver and Precious Pet Cremations. When my 9 year old son's pet, Sam, passed away, it was the first time he had ever experienced losing a pet. We have other pets, but Sam was special to him, and my son really wanted to have him cremated so we could keep him with us. I honestly had no idea what to do or what the process was. From the moment we met Oliver, he made a really difficult situation so much easier. He is such a people person and you can tell he genuinely cares. He was incredibly sweet and patient with my son, answered every single one of his questions, and treated Sam with so much care and respect. He never made us feel rushed and made my son feel comfortable during something that was really hard for him. We truly miss Sam, but thanks to Oliver, we now have his remains with us forever. That means more to our family than I can explain. Oliver, thank you for the compassion you showed my son and for taking such good care of Sam. This is an amazing service run by someone who truly cares about people and their pets. If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would. I highly recommend Precious Pet Cremations to anyone who has lost a beloved pet and wants them treated with dignity, kindness, and care.

Oliver was incredibly kind, detail oriented, and treated me with dignity throughout the entire process. Not even 15 hours after my rabbit passing, I was able to bring her in for cremation and urn/keepsake consultation. Oliver takes his work seriously and it is reflected in the product and his service. The prices are extremely reasonable and I am extremely satisfied with the quality of all the keepsakes I received: wooden urn w/engraving and photo, bamboo paw print, and fur jar. Within two weeks, my bunny is back home in her new form. Oliver kept me posted every step of the way and I'm so happy I chose him for this! While I hope I don't see him any time soon for my other pets, I will 100% be utilizing his services again and referring all to Precious Pets Cremations! Thank you again :')

I rushed my cat Winnie to VCA Advanced Veterinary Care Center in Lawndale after she was attacked by dogs, breathing heavily and clearly in distress. I told them she was my cat and that I would pay for her care. But I was told they didn't take strays and that nothing could be done except euthanasia. No veterinarian ever examined her, and I kept asking why she was being denied care, but never got a clear answer. Winnie wasn't a stray. She was my baby. I have photos of her as a kitten. She died on the way to another emergency hospital. I'll never know if things could have been different, but I do know she left without even being examined. Every animal deserves compassion, especially when they're injured and begging for help. I don't post this to be cruel. I post this because I don't want anyone else to feel the same heartbreak of holding their beloved animal, begging for help and getting none. The receptionist at the front desk didn't even go around to look or never her to check her wounds and She just looked at me and said we don't take strays. She didn't even know who I didn't even look my information she just flat out said no in such a dismissive tone till this day I have not gotten a solid answer as to what the protocol is and the reason for denying Winnie the help that she deserved that may or may not have been life saving
