I came across this place and they answered my call right away with so much kindness and empathy during such a difficult moment. I truly appreciated how compassionate and understanding they were throughout the entire process. Within just an hour or two, they were able to come pick up my boy, and they kept me updated every step of the way so I never felt left wondering what was happening. They communicated clearly, let me know when everything was ready, and made an incredibly painful experience feel a little less heavy. I also chose a package that included his fur clipping, a paw print, and a beautiful box for his ashes with his photo placed on the front. Receiving those keepsakes meant so much to me and made everything feel a little more personal and comforting during such a heartbreaking time. I'm truly grateful for the care, respect, and compassion they showed both me and my cat. Thank you again for helping me through one of the hardest moments of my life.

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.

I…read morewanted to give her a proper send off to heaven and I wanted my Cutie to know she will always be remembered and thought of not just by her mommy but to the world as a precious little soul that inhabited this earth. Ariel was God sent to me. The way Ariel memorialized my little sassy girl Cutie was more than I could ever imagined! Ariel engraved all four of her paw prints in a heart shaped terracotta stone along with her tail which gave it that extra special unique touch. The ability to feel her feet and hands by tracing my fingers along each anatomical groove brings a smile to my face. Cutie would often times take her front paw and wrap it around my finger and now I can replicate that feeling over and over thanks to you Ariel. Ariel inked my Cutie's paws, nose and whiskers too! When I saw the prints it brought me back to when I use to touch her nose and she would look at me and I could just feel her smiling at me with her eyes. Ariel made me a special ink design with Cutie's tail curved forming a half heart with her back paw in the middle. I don't have tattoos but if I were to ever get one this would be perfect! Ariel created so many personal touches for Cutie's send off to heaven that she had me crying tears of joy. I'm confident in saying my little sassy girl Cutie knew she was so loved not only here on earth but in heaven. Cutie is looking down from heaven and is saying thank you Mommy for being there for me-I love you! and I love you too!! Thank you Ariel for your artistic abilities and most importantly for the compassion you have for animals. I'm so grateful for what you've done and I value you! -Marisol V.

It is the night of my beloved Xena's passing, so I wanted to add another 5 stars to Dr. Kevin…read moreChung's exemplary record while the memory is still fresh. Dr. Kevin is a calming, reassuring presence, even via text. His compassion for these animals and their grieving owners is evident and genuine. He explained every step of the procedure to us, even details we requested, and tactfully addressed the possible outcomes of both the sedation and euthanasia. Even typing the word is difficult. I appreciated his further reassurance that it was the correct decision and at the right time when he saw the gravity of Xena's condition; I had no doubts, but it was still a balm to my heart to hear it from a professional. I was able to pet her throughout the entire procedure and up until the very last moment we assisted her onto the stretcher. I am so grateful I could spend those crucial final moments comforting her. We preferred communal cremation, so the rates were within the ballpark of other at-home services I had consulted with. However the stellar attentiveness, gentleness, and empathy that Dr. Kevin provided, in addition to his same-day availability on such short notice and all of the glowing reviews here, had my heart set on him from the beginning. Another reason we opted for him over other providers is because he is the one performing the procedure, so we knew what--and who--to expect. It felt much more intimate and personal than a service sending "someone" out. I believe this high caliber of care is how Dr. Kevin so seamlessly blends into the moment: he is another source of the palpable love resonating during such an intense, difficult experience. His demeanor was serene and respectful, and he allowed us plenty of physical and emotional space. Even as he was working, his being there felt as natural as any of my family members. Xena had a peaceful passing in her favorite sunny spot in the flowers, surrounded by her loving family at home. It was the ideal resolution for a harrowing situation, and Dr. Kevin made it possible. I cannot thank or recommend him enough.

The ashes came in a beautiful box wrapped in cloth and came with a paw print and dedication. Today, Brian picked up our other dog from our house, and he was so professional and sweet. He hugged my husband after he placed Richie in the container he had brought for transport. We look forward to receiving his ashes back in a few weeks with a paw print and dedication as well. Jenny was great on the phone as well, super sweet during the intake. $295 cost for cremation and pick up from our place. With a dedication and paw print, and special box. He is a small dog 9lbs. I will use them for any future pet.

This is in response to the owner Jenny in regards to my original review and for the public so that…read morethey can be more informed: Jenny basically runs a 3rd party delivery service for pet haven. Even the name "royal pet mortuary" is deceptive because it is not a mortuary. All she does is take your phone calls and then arranges delivery to a crematorium for her extra fee. The real crematorium had their own delivery drivers typically for free. What Jenny does is add her fee and tell you that "she will take care of everything" in reality it is because of these 3rd party drivers that sometimes mistakes are made and the wrong pet ashes are returned among many other errors ( see pet haven reviews) You will be much better off contacting a real crematorium directly and making arrangements with them. Unfortunately there are many services like Jenny's that pretend to be "compassionate cremation services" and are simply delivery drivers and they charge a huge fee that isn't necessary on top of trying to sell you other keepsakes that the real crematoriums offer for much less. Also, there is no shortage of real crematoriums around Los Angeles and other areas. I am writing all this because I love my animal and hate the idea that there are people who take advantage of grieving pet parents. Her listed address is not a real location and there is zero regulation in this industry so if she made a mistake with your pet there would be almost no recourse. Especially is you don't even know where she is. Please be careful and do your research. There are many other predatory "services" like hers who will fake sympathy on the phone with you so that they can take your money. I highly recommend you call a real crematorium and ask for what is called a "witness cremation" to ensure that you get your own pets ashes back. They cost a bit more but well worth the peace of mind and you will be saving money by not having someone else drive the pet there and deliver ashes back to you which can take weeks or months instead of one day. I understand there may be people who don't want to deal with any arrangements for your deceased pet because of the inconvenience but your pet deserves better. I also recommend you read the reviews because sone of these places lack the ethics and have no compassion because they are huge corporations driven by profits only. It took me a whole week to learn this information and so now I'm sharing it here. Sending love and prayers to anyone who lost their beloved pet!
