This is my first experience cremating a pet, so I didn't know what to expect. Losing a pet is not an easy thing to deal with. Deb was very compassionate and really helped to make a sad occasion a little more bearable. I love the atmosphere at her place, it's very serene. At no time was I pressured into buy anything. I checked out her site ahead of time and pretty much knew what I wanted for my cat Misty. She is now in final resting place wrapped in the pink bag that Deb made for her, along with the rosebud that is wrapped in her fur. That was a very nice touch! I would definitely use her services again, and would recommend her to anyone else in the same situation. Thanks Deb. read more

Deb is so loving and caring. She has taken care of my 2 fur babies, mini dachshunds, Coco and Ralphie. When I heard the recent news about the shady pet cremation service in the Pittsburgh area, I called Deb to determine if, by chance, she had used their services. I felt so comforted after speaking with her that everything was done by her in her own facility. Thank you, Deb. It's wonderful knowing that the cremains I cherish here in my home, are actually my Coco and Ralphie. ​ read more

My husband and I have used Deb's services on twice now. With a fourteen- year gap between the loss of pets, we remembered her professionalism and compassion with the loss of our first dog. She treated us and our pets with a respect and empathy that we didn't even fully understand that we needed. I imagine that there will more pets to love in our future. And when their time with us is ended, Deb will be our first call. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Completely unprofessional. You can't even leave a message so she doesn't check her messages. I called numerous times finally got her and she goes "hello?" I ask her for pricing on some things and she tells me she's not at the shop and she'd call me back in about 30/40 mins. It's been 3 hours. Thank goodness I didn't go to get my pet cremated by this place. read more

It has taken me a few months to write this, but again Deb has made the process of what to do after your pet passes over the rainbow bridge so much easier. She has taken care of many of our fur kids just as she took care of Chirp with respect and much compassion. We will go to Deb as long as we still have our "pride" of cats. Definitely recommend. read more

"Please, come in and feel at ease.... You have found a pet cremation service whose goal and mission is to provide you with a comforting place during a very difficult time." An exact quote from debs website. She proved differently today. I have had my pets cremated here in the past, two of them to be exact and have never had an experience like today after losing my kitten with almost no notice due to an untreatable medical condition. I gave her a call and explained that i was using the rest of my money (as an 18 year old) to have my cat put to sleep due to a saddle thrombus (an untreatable and very painful blood clot) and that i don't get paid again for two days. i asked if she could hold her body there until i was paid and then i would pay in full and leave a tip. she replied "Its not my job to worry about your financial problems" and hung up with no further conversation. Luckily i found a place that will allow me to do this, but after finding that place i also realized Deb overcharges. When my last pet was cremated by her it was $160 for a group cremation and my pet came in a ziploc baggie. At the other place for $190 my baby is getting a private cremation and coming home in an actual urn. I am so incredibly grateful i did not bring my baby here and so incredibly disappointed that she was trusted with my last two. Please do not bring your pets here i promise she only wants your money she doesn't care about bringing you peace and having your pets remains forever. read more

Deb was so wonderful and compassionate to work with during a very difficult time. She came to our house sooner than originally planned (at our request) after our dog Spock passed away and handled everything with kindness and care. She even custom made a bag for our dog's remains out of an old Halloween costume and it's just beautiful. I would recommend her services to anyone! read more

Chartiers Custom Pet Cremation - Pet Cremation Services Near Me - Bridgeville, Pennsylvania

Our review is a bit different than the others, as was our situation. However the owner was extremely rude and non-compassionate towards our situation. We were looking at urns, as i picked one up she yanked it from my hands and spoke to me as though i was a child. I would not recommend this business *edited to add--- my mother lives out of state and we had just received the cremains. The urn she had ordered had been damaged in transit and we had absolutely nothing to transport my sisters remains in. We came to Deborah in desperation as my mother did not want to take her daughters ashes home in a plastic bag, she wanted something a little more respectable until the human urn she reordered would arrive, we had already check local funeral homes and they needed to order the particular one she wanted. We were less than "distraught and confused" although Deborah treated us as so. It was a very unpleasant experience in a desperate time to show my sister some dignity and respect by transporting her in something other than a bag. read more

My husband just picked up our sweet Lacy Cat. This place exceeded all of our expectations. Deb truly understands the grieving process for losing a pet and her compassion is unmatched. read more

I can not express in words how wonderful Chartiers Custom Pet Cremation is. We lost our dog, and they help make the arrangements so much better. My bf and I felt welcomed and comfortable about what was being done with our Oliver. The owner, Deb, is a wonderful person and really helped us in our time of grief. They will come and get your pets remains and bring their ashes if you would like. My bf and I opted to take them in ourselves, and we were able to have a little private time before we left. I plan on recommending Chartiers Custom Pet Cremation to every pet owner I know!!!! read more

I had no idea how devastating the loss of a pet can be until I had to put down 2 cats in the past 2 years. I had never experienced that close bond with a pet. When I lost my Chloe and Abby who had been such an important part of my life for 16 and 18 years, I knew I had to do something very special for them, (and myself). I couldn't just let them go. That is when Deb at Chartiers Custom Creation entered my life and made all the difference in the world. She listened to my stories about them as I cried and offered understanding, (and a lot of Kleenex), as I poured my heart out. She is so compassionate, kind, and understanding and helps you so much through the grieving process. Deb certainly goes above and beyond to help you deal with your loss. I really don't know how I would have gotten through this emotional and heart-wrenching time in my life without her. THANK YOU DEB! read more

I just called the owner to inquire about cremating my pet....What a weird conversation I just had with the owner, Deb. I have never had to cremate a pet, so this is new to me, and also a tough thing to organize. I simply wanted to find out the most cost effective way to have the service completed, such as dropping off the remains, etc to ensure cheapest cost. As soon as I brought up that I was interested in hearing about the cheapest way for Deb to provide this service, the phone call became almost insulting. She made it appear, by tone of voice, and fumbling about her not thought out words, that I wasn't affluent enough to afford her world class services of simply putting my dog in her furnace and providing me with his ashes in a nice urn. Deb, did I need a Rollys Royce to inquire, or do you insult all of your potential clients in this manner? I didn't even continue the conversation and hung up on her as she mumbled about how "if i was already inquiring about price, then she wasn't the one to help me, and that all of her clients come to her because of the service she provides".....Deb, newsflash, you are pottery teacher posing as a cremation expert. You instantly pushed me away because i asked about costs, and looking for your cheapest option. So essentially, even if her cheapest option was 1 million dollars, and i wanted that one, she didn't want my business, as she was only interested in the 10 million dollar deal....Weird! YOU ARE A WEIRDO, DEB! HANG UP ON HER LIKE I DID, UNLESS "MONEY ISNT AN OPTION" read more

Very supportive and sympathetic. Deb helped ease the grief associated with losing a beloved kitty.
