    Tuff -all buckled in for his ride home :(
    Dawn S.

    My friends lost their fur baby and used this place for him. I'm giving four stars as I didn't use this place; I picked up their sweet boy as a favor. This place was so hard to find. I missed it the first time and had to drive around the block again. There are store fronts parallel to the road. I didn't see the sign on any stores so I thought I missed it. There are a bunch of buildings BEHIND those stores that are perpendicular to the road. Phew! The office itself is very small. I don't know if they cremate on site or somewhere else. RIP Tuff. You were the goodest boy. We miss you! :(

    Our dog Eli fought his battle with kidney disease and unfortunately, he stopped eating so we knew the end was near. We scheduled the appt to have the vet come by two days ahead of time and they definitely made the experience as good as is possible in difficult circumstances. The vet was on-time and greeted us and immediately, showed empathy for what we were going through. She also pet Eli and walked us through the process. Basically, she gives them a shot to put them under and then you wait 5-10 minutes for that to kick-in and then she gives the final dose which ends their suffering. Everything went as it should and afterward, she let us hold our sweet boy and also take some pawprints since he hated us touching his feet when he was alive. When we were done with that, she took him in a dog bed to the car and reassured us that we did the right thing for him. They contacted us about 10 days later to come pick up his remains from their location on Lamar. They were in a blue gift bag along with a note. Overall, this one of the hardest experiences I've had to go through and the support and service provided by Fond Memories was definitely the right choice.

    Sadly, this is our second occasion to choose Fond Memories - this time for our sweet girl's cremation. Our first occasion was 2 years ago last June when they took care of our cancer riddled Golden. Everything happened so fast- a blessing for our dear 4 pawed children but leaving us reeling in grief. At a time like that it's critical to be able to trust that a facility is going to do what they say. We chose individual cremation for our fur babies with their cremains return in a simple wooden box. We also get a paw print. They have many service options at all price ranges. Because of the size of our dogs, we opted for them to come to our home to take them to the crematory. In both situations our pets were treated with dignity and respect. Harley was so large they had 2 attendees and with Nani- she had lost a lot of weight so Dr Maggie helped the attendant get her situated on the stretcher and covered with a blanket. The young man from Fond Memories didn't seem surprised that I was blubbering away and he expressed his sympathy. They leave your sweet pets face uncovered and you can have as much time as you need with them. Then they carefully place them in their transport vehicle on the stretcher, and drive them away. Dr. Maggie assured us Nani would be treated in a dignified manner throughout the entire process and that we would be called when her cremains were ready to come home. We feel confident in that part of the process. We recommend them should you need their services. They have a cemetery available too.

    I stopped by their open house on Saturday because they were donating $ to the local pet facility of your choice. I did not expect the amazing offerings they have for celebrating the life of pets. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by owner Coleen Ellis. She gave me a huge hug and started to tell me all about their facilities and proceeded to take me on a full tour. I was blown away but all the thought and care put into the cherishing the life of your pets. When you first walk in you see a bookshelf with a display of urns, jewelry, and other beautiful and unique memorials. There are even glass beads with ashes blown into them. I was amazed by the creativity. On another wall hangs a group of fantastic pet portraits. Off of the main room are two ceremony rooms where you can hold a service for your pet. One even has an area for children to mourn their pets. They do the cremations on site and have individual cremation chambers so your pets ashes are kept separate. I was very impressed by the whole setup and passion Coleen and her team has for memorializing your pets.

    Inside the packet is a seed pad that you plant and it will bloom!! How sweet is that!!

    Losing Dakota to Cancer was the worst thing I've ever witnessed and the most heartbreak I've ever felt. We made the most of it but even when we knew it was time, it was still the worst day of my life yet. Considering what a hard time it was, the pet loss center made the whole experience easy. And it felt like a ceremony/funeral. 1) the van was outside, waiting, never interacting with us until we waved them into the house to help load her. We did not feel cramped and pressured during our last moments. It was just family, like you would want it to be. 2) the young man that came into the house to help load my baby, brought a straw basket with blankets. He helped load her and allowed us to pet her and walk with her. It was a sweet way to transport her. 3) the way we loaded her into the back, he didn't close the doors until we covered her with blankets and said goodbye and obviously were ready for him to take off. Nothing was rushed. 4) yeah they never called me, but when I called, their phones were ringing off the hook. Once I called, a woman collected Dakota's things and packaged them nicely. So once I stated that I was going to be coming in an hour, they were ready. I highly suggest calling and letting them know when you are ready. 5) it is obviously my baby's paw print and fur. And the generic option for the wooden box is actually really nice. They are really busy, keep that in mind. There are not a lot of private pet cremation options in Austin. They do a nice job making it seem like a service! If you are looking for the best vet, look for Compassionate pet vet. The doctor did an amazing job with the whole thing, as awful as it is to go thru it.

When I was planning his cremation, the one thing I was afraid of is that the the facility will feel like hospital garbage disposal. He was my best friend and I wanted this grim process to be at least dignified. To my relief, with Briley I got just that - a peaceful, clean place outside the city to say goodbye. Absolutely worth the hour-long drive. It was quiet out there. The building was a large barn-like structure with a big cremation unit in the middle of a very large space. The unit was made of stone with a steel door... Clean and solid. I felt like I did right by him... It has taken me a while to write this review, and it's still difficult even now, but I just want everyone to know that if this process is important to you, Briley is the way to go. I got lucky that in my grief I somehow managed to stumble down the right path. Thank you, Briley. And thank you for his nose print.. I had no idea how much it was going to mean to me to have it.
