When my Magnificent Murphy crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I knew I wanted his ashes. The first thing I…read moreasked my local vet was, does ACS do single cremations or group? I was pleased to hear, that they specialize in single cremations. I was also pleased to hear that they do the ceramic paw print. I choose a simple wooden box, to match my other fur-babies that crossed over the bridge ahead of Murphy. When I picked up his remains, his box and paw print were each presented in separate tulle gift bags. Their presentation, made a sad occasion easier to deal with. I would not wish it for anyone, but if you lose a pet, I highly recommend Animal Care Service. Their personalized services make the process easier and more comfortable for you, the pet owner.

Thank you for being there and for all your dedicated help during this difficult and challenging time.

What a glorious experience! We weren't expecting to put Noodle to rest so soon. However, Dr…read more Dawnetta made it so easy. She sat on the floor with my daughter and sister and I, with Noodle in the middle. Dr. Dawnetta explained abouth the heart tumor and why we didn't see the symptoms. She explained the process of "putting Noodle to sleep". Noodle really enjoyed the distraction of the cat food that the Dr brought while giving her the first medication. She sat vigil with us as Noodle took her last breath. Then (and Noodle would have greatly approved if she were still alive) she was wrapped in fuzzy blankets, put on a stretcher and taken to a crematorium. Noodle's ashes will be sprinkled in a communal place next to a pond. This situation was extremely painful, but the great kindness and guidance of Dr. Dawnetta helped so much.

I cannot say enough about using this company. My father passed away and am so glad I found them…read more They were caring and so helpful going well above and beyond. It was surprising how insensitive other places were when I called them inquiring about services. I can honestly say they made this process so much easier for me. I haven't even gotten to talk about the price!! So much less expensive than others and they didn't nickel a dime me either. My father was a veteran and they coordinated everything for me at no extra charge while other companies wanted an additional fee. They responded quickly my questions and even managed to get me prayer cards that I forgot all about the day of! I've referred them to others and would highly recommend them.

To my surprise, I was able to reach someone at Metro and was able to set up services quickly. They were very compassionate, understanding, and patient. I was able to reach someone on demand and assisted me with every step. One may think that all mortuary companies are the same. I can assure you not, as when I called another mortuary company the receptionist was very rude and disrespectful. That was not the case with MetroEast. They made the process very easy that alleviated some of the stress I felt losing my mother. Thank you, Metro. I will highly recommend this company.

However, the day of service the TV in the visitation room went out. I had worked all week going through pictures for a DVD for the viewing. The attendant told me they would work on getting it fixed. So after about 10 minutes of no video or music and a lot of people there. I looked for him and he was standing outside the room, I was upset first of all because I just lost my mother and told him we needed the TV to work, that people came to see memories of her, his response was Well, that's not the only reason they came, in a very condescending rude tone. I was shocked at his response as was all that heard it. 3 people told me that it was the most unprofessional thing they've ever seen. They eventually moved us all into another room. Everything had to be moved which was quite disruptive and upsetting. I understand things go wrong, but his attitude and comments were unacceptable. When I returned later on to pick up her death certificates I wanted to lodge my complaint and he was the only one there to talk to me. After I said how unprofessional and rude I thought it was, he said Well, you got snarky with me. I was shocked at his response. I was distraught and grieving the loss of my mother. Surely in this profession he should know how to be compassionate.
