2-3-12Tribute Pet Casket Steve, I just wanted let you know we recieved the little blue casket today and it is just so sweet. It reminded me of Buddy because he was small and such a good looking little guy. I just wanted to thank you so much for keeping your word and to let you know we did get it and got everything taken care of before it rained. I was very pleased with the little casket. Patty W

11-22-11Granite Photo Marker Steven, We received Sparky's headstone memorial today and, I have to admit, we could not be happier. We both agreed it was a fitting tribute to a great dog. The design was superb and the etching was masterful. I would be happy to provide a reference if needed. Sparky's headstone said "He Never Complained". I actually do complain more often than necessary, but am also happy to compliment a job well done. Thank you for a fine effort. Doug Y
7-27-11Everlast Pet Casket We were devastated to have lost our 6 yr old maltese,Scotty. When I called Steve, on a Sunday looking only to leave a message for Monday, he called me right back! Because we are lucky enough to live in the same State, Steve let me come Monday morning to pick-up Scotty's casket. Both my 12 year old son and myself felt comfort as we walked in. Steve & his family were very supportive & understanding. His kids took to my son & were able to put a smile on his face. The casket was beautiful, well built & comforting for us to know Scotty was safe. Because of this, it was much easier for closure. I would HIGHLY recommend "Pets We Loved". In fact, I have visited several of my nearby Vets to pass on the information to ease the pain as Steve & Kathy have done for us! Adrienne V - Massachusetts

Tradition and Choices
After being in the pet memorials business for over seven years now, I've found that there is a very distinct difference amongst pet owners - those that would never cremate and ones that would never have a burial - and almost never anyone on the fence between the two. Maybe those that bury were brought up strict Catholic, not sure. Up here in New England, where there is still a strong traditional Catholic population, there are still a significant amount of human burials versus cremations. And out in the western part of the country, it’s the opposite where there is a growing trend in cremations. People will tend to follow the same traditions as their family when it comes to caring for their pets. And that has proven true as a majority of pet casket orders have been for the east coast and mid-west Bible belt areas versus strong pet urn sales out west.
But there is one constant amongst the pet owners I’ve spoken to, they're all devastated by the loss of their pet. Regardless if the passing was expected or sudden, no difference – the pain is the same. We listen and we help them memorialize their pet however they would like. But more importantly, we understand - we have buried 2 beloved cats and cremated a sorely missed dog. Just about 2 yrs ago, we lost our beloved Choc Lab, Bailey - I'm still not over it. I sell pet urns and still can't bear to pick one out for her. Maybe someday…
We have a new dog, a 2 yr old black lab Mandie. My wife “adopted” her from a rescue group in Indiana. She was living on the street and needed a home. I was resistant to having another dog after we lost Bailey and I’m still having trouble accepting her. Again, maybe someday..
