Dear Jeanette and all the wonderful people at Heavenly Days,

I want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone at Heavenly Days who took such good care of my angel "Shiloh". This has been the most difficult thing for me to go through. Jeanette was so understanding and easy to talk to. She made me comfortable the minute she answered the phone. She spoke so sweetly to me and with such compassion. I really appreciate it. I love all the beautiful urns and boxes you have to choose from. I picked the most beautiful one with the help of Jeanette. I absolutely love the paw print frame! It makes me cry whenever I look at it but it also helps me cope because I now know she will always be close. The paw print heart necklace is so special. I've been wearing it every day! The sympathy card and angel pin were also greatly appreciated.

Shiloh was such a constant presence in our lives, always stuck to our sides especially if we were in the kitchen where a little niblet might have come her way. She had so many little idiosyncrasies that made her so special. My boyfriend and I miss her so much! Hopefully, as time passes, this difficult time will become easier for us.

I just wanted you to know that I could not have done any of this without all of you. Your kindness, empathy, compassion, and professionalism go well beyond anything I ever expected. We also want to thank you for your donation to the Animal Welfare League of Montgomery County in memory of my angel "Shiloh".

I'm so happy that Town and Country Animal Clinic recommended Heavenly Days to take care of my "Shiloh". You made me feel like she was as important to you as she was to me.

With Kind Regards and Appreciation,

~ Pam K and Terry H

Dear Jeanette and Heavenly Days,

We sincerely appreciate your kindess this hard and difficult time. Thank you for everything that you have done and for your donation. That was thoughtful and hopefully it will help another dog that needs it. Winnie was a rescue so the Animal Welfare League is dear to our hearts.

Thank you again.

I lost my little Valentine a couple of weeks ago. The idea of letting someone else handle her lifeless body was simply too much for me so I called Heavenly Days and asked if I could witness the entire cremation process.

When I arrived at their location in Urbana, MD, I was pleased by the warm, peaceful and welcoming environment. The setting made me feel better right away. I held a memorial for my little Tina and then was able to place her body in the crematorium... Witnessing her body go in and come out of this huge machine might be too much for certain people to handle but for me, it simply gave me closure and ensured me that I was getting her remains back, not anyone else's. Greg from Heavenly Days was wonderful; he was careful and delicate with my little angel, and was very informative and patient towards me.

I plan on adopting another little dog and I know that Heavenly Days will be the place for me when the time comes to cremate my second pet.

I miss you Valentine (2001-2011), you are my forever dog.

Linda,

Thank you for the personal attention and help on Labor Day in taking care of our Riley.

We found your shop so warm, lovely, and personal. We loved your products and all the nice touches that were so endearing and thoughtful. Your process and materials were the best, easy, but more importantly, comforting.

It was so nice to see you and to meet Jake, also.

Looking foward to seeing you again... socially!

Friends at Heavenly Days,

Thanks to all of you for your caring during our time of loss. You made the cremation process so personal with the phone calls to let us know you received Shelby and again when Jeanette called to let us know that Shelby's remains were being delivered to our vet. .

Special thanks to you for the contribution Heavenly Days made to the Animal Welfare in memory of Shelby. That was amazingly thoughtful.

Please know that you made this sad event very consoling and I feel that Shelby was treated with the TLC that I have not experienced with any other pet loss in the past. I picked Shelby up tonight from the vet with your personalized note and sympathy card that was very touching. The velvet bag with her remains was a wonderful touch.

We have proudly placed Shelby's remains in our home.

~ With heartfelt appreciation,

Heavenly Days Staff,

I can't express enough how thankful I am. Losing my horse Hercules has been one of the hardest things I've ever gone through. I was very nervous about the way he would be handled, but after talking to you I realized he would be taken care of. Your kindness and support made the process so much easier. His wooden urn is beautiful and I'm thankful that you made it possible for me to keep him with me forever.

I appreciate everything you've done,

Greg, Linda and Jeanette,

Thank you for your kindness, respect and caring of our beloved miniature dachshunds, Dolly (6) and Cupcake (15). Dolly passed just recently on 5/16/2011. Cupcake passed away 12/2/2010. The staff's sensitivity gave my family and I a great sense of comfort during this very difficult time. My family lost both pets within five months of each other. Too much to bear. Too much to cope with in such a short period of time. I know our pain will heal eventually. Fond memories will replace our tears with a smile every time we think of Dolly and Cupcake--our devoted little buddies.

The paw prints are beautiful, especially with the mahogany frames. The brass name plates were a wonderful touch. Cupcake's memory reads: a loving and loyal companion. Dolly's memory reads: a sweetheart and fierce protector.

Thank you also for the token heart boxes, angel doggie pins, and sympathy cards. Heavenly Days memorial contribution to the Animal Welfare League was most appreciated.

Your kindness in assisting me with all of the arrangements, answering questions, and more was a blessing. I am so glad Pet Dominion recommended Heavenly Days.

Hello to Heavenly Days Staff,

When my two beloved Cocker Spaniels "Peanut and Butter" passed away, my whole heart was ripped out and has a big hollow on my chest. When I received your products yesterday, I felt that you have fulfilled my hollowed chest. These products helped me to stand strong and always remember them. Still today I look those paw prints, the boxes and the pins (Angel dogs) does lift me with joy and peace. Thank you for helping me getting through a difficult time. God bless you all.

Dear Jeannette, Linda & Greg,

I finally had the courage to pick up Sadie's remains on Saturday afternoon. When I brought her home and looked at the plaque, I was more pleased than words can say. Jeannette, you said you thought I would be pleased, and you were 100% right! And the box is wonderful. It suits my Sadie perfectly.

Each and every one of you are so very kind and understanding. I was really in bad shape, as Jeannette especially knows; and I want to thank you in particular, Jeannette, for your kindness and understanding. As I told you on the phone last Saturday, when I was having so much trouble writing the words for the plaque, the sound of your voice was such a comfort to me. You gave me the option of taking my time with the plaque, which did wonders for me.

In addition, please let me thank you all for the contribution Heavenly Days made in my Sadie's memory to the Animal Welfare League of Montgomery County. Rest assured that I will continue to honor my baby's memory by continuing to donate to animal charities; and to always adopt when it's time to add a new pet to our home.

~ With Sincere Gratitude and Thanks,

The death of a pet is a traumatic event. It has happened to me twice within the past year. The first one I allowed my veterinarian to “take care” of the cremation. Two weeks later, my beloved little cat came back to the vets in an ugly plain wooden box half filled with newspaper and a small bag of ashes. With my second loss (within 2 months) I did some homework and checking on my own for a crematory company. That’s when I found Heavenly Days. I called their office, was able to go to their web site, was able to visit their facility, and actually met the gentleman who performs the cremations. All of the people at Heavenly Days had great empathy, sympathy and understanding for me at this time. I was able to actually choose the container for Rudy’s ashes, they clipped some hair for me and they made a clay impression of his front paw. Heavenly Days made me feel so comfortable that I could have witnessed the cremation if I wanted to.

The ladies at Heavenly Days kept in contact with me - notified me when their driver picked Rudy up from the vets office; called when his ashes and paw print were ready to come home and even followed up to make sure everything was home and safe. The box came home with lace ribbon & flowers and a dog guardian angel pin for me to wear.

This is really a small business who cares about their clients. They consoled, listened to, and made a very difficult time much easier. I wish all businesses treated me (and my pet) with such dignity.

Dear Linda and Greg,

My lovely, funny, if endlessly demanding cat Amber had to be put down about a month back.

My vet offered your cremation service as an option, and I've been very pleased. You were very pleasant on the phone, spoke very respectfully of Amber, and overall you provided excellent service.

In particular, when you found that the wood box I had ordered for Amber's remains had a chip on it, you had the consideration to call me and ask if I still wanted it, or if I could wait until you ordered a new box. (And you recommended I wait for a new box, without a chip, which was a good call.) I really appreciate your thoughtfulness there. Thanks also for accommodating my request for two plaques, when only one is conventional. (I had a lot of words to share with my kitty.)

I've since received her remains. The box and accompanying package are lovely, and bring out the best in my memories of her.

Thanks so much.

~ Regards,
Steve O.

Dear Ms. Buel

This letter is LONG overdue but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the help your wonderful staff provided me when I took Maggie to your facility for an individual cremation. Maggie was put down at my vets office when it was discovered that she had a rapidly advancing case of bone cancer. It was quite a sad time but your staff made the entire process easier.

I actually took a look at your facility several years ago when you were in Rockville since I knew this day would eventually come and I wanted to make the right choice when choosing a cremation facility. Your staff is very knowledgeable, took the time to show me the facility and answered all the questions I had. Many thanks to Greg, Jeanette, and O'Shea for all their help - you should be proud to have such great employees working there.

I have since adopted anther Rottweiler on May 5, 2010 from the same shelter where I got Maggie - when the time comes (hopefully not for many years) I will certainly be using your facility again. I had Maggie for almost ten years and she was a very loyal companion - there is no doubt that she would give up her life for me without having to think twice about it. She knew she had a great home and an owner who cared so much about her when there was a time she was abandoned by her previous owner. I can't say enough good things about Maggie and I still miss her so much but I'm glad I am able to help another homeless dog who is adjusting well to her new home - I think she knows she has a home for life !

Thanks again to you and your staff for all your help and for taking the time to answer all my questions (and I had a lot of them !)

~ Sincerely,
Daniel M.

Dear Linda, Jeanette & Greg:

When my 12 year old sheltie Duncan died at Friendship Hospital on August 4th, I was in shock, even though I had known he was "not long for this world." I had discussed plans with my family for burying him at our farm in Luray, but it was an eventuality that for me was in the future. When the vet asked me what to do with him, and I agreed to a communal cremation; at the time I told myself: "his spirit is gone; the body is just a shell." The fact that it was nearly 1am, and the next day's temperatures were forcast to reach 100 degrees made this seem a practical decision.

Later that morning I came to my senses, and there ensued a frantic series of phone calls to Friendship, and to your office. Jeanette was my first contact, and she was gracious and immediately helpful, calling Greg and ensuring that Duncan would be held until I could pick him up. I had planned to pick him up and drive to Luray; my brother got the backhoe ready and we were thinking about the best site. On the drive from Chevy Chase to Urbana I decided it would be wiser to have cremated instead. I only recount all this beacuse my mind was jumping to conclusions about what I would find when I got to your place.

I found a beautiful physical environment, serene and welcoming and full of love and respect for the animals. It was clear to me that the vision behind Heavenly Days was consistent and creative. My heart was breaking, but you enabled me to say a final farewell in the best way possible. Please understand that no matter how difficult aspects of your work may be, you are performing an honorable and exceptionally valuable service for our beloved animals.

My sheltie club had a memorial service for Duncan (and other shelties we have lost) on Monday. I made a special point of telling the members about your establishment, which I recommend without reservation. Please feel free to use my name or this letter as a referral. I pray that it will be many years before I need you again, but that when I do, you will be here and thriving. Thank you for your services in this difficult time.

Dear Linda & Jeanette,

Thank you both so much for all the patience and caring you showed us during our time of loss. We're all so happy with the beautiful things that Rachel and I selected for our sweet, old girl. We have prouldy placed Sadie's cremains in our home, right where I know she'd want to be... with us.

Special thanks to you for the contribution Heavenly Days made to the Animal Welfare League of Mont. Co. in Sadie's memory. Sixteen years ago, she was a rescue dog, so I know that she too would appreciate your kind gesture.

I know that time heals all, and the great memories we have of her will in time replace our tears with a smile everytime we think of our gentle, loving princess.

Dear Heavenly Days Staff,

First of all, I would just like to thank the wonderful staff at Heavenly Days for taking care of our Otto. He passed away July 30, 2009 while receiving treatment at Negola's Ark in Gaithersburg, MD. His "big" heart just couldn't take all the surgeries anymore and he passed away, I hope, peacefully. Dr. Negola told us about your services, emphasizing the individual cremation and I remember saying to myself, "Isn't that how you are supposed to do it, is there any other way?" Because I was so naive, I did not realize other crematoriums did not conduct cremations in this manner and I thank God you exist and I am confident that the remains in the beautiful wooden maple box are Otto's remains and no one else's. We miss him, there's not one day that goes by where we don't think of our Otto. His absence is felt everyday in our home. Thank you again for caring.

Our sweet ocicat "Libby" lost her battle with kidney failure last week, just 3 months shy of her 19th birthday.

Although knowing this day would come soon & preparing ourselves for the decision, we are heartbroken with the loss of this loving member of our family. As we process our grief, we are also comforting her litter mate & constant companion,"Bella", as she tries to understand why she is now suddenly alone in her daily routines & naps. Libby had been a real trooper; the death of her owners(our friends Andy & Dennis) in CA, the trip back East & adjusting to a new home in DC, and for the past 3 years since her diagnosis with kidney failure(which meant weekly i.v. fluids, and eventual blindness). Throughout all this, she seemed to adjust & was happy being pampered, even having her own heated bed. Her previous owners,knowing of their eminent deaths, kept her by their sides until their last days on earth. As Libby was extremely loving & always a source of comfort, we can understand why they would. We hope, in return, we gave her the same amount of love and happiness in her life with us. She will indeed be sorely missed.

Thank you for taking such good and professional care of our dear Libby.

I would like to express my gratitude for the kind and gentle way my Raven was put to rest. He was my "Baby" and he always will be! Having him returned to me somehow gave me some comfort to know that he will be with me and not be in pain anymore.

My heart grieves for him and I will never forget how much pleasure he brought into my life.

Thank you for all your help!

Dear Heavenly Days Staff:

I want to express my gratitude for your services and share my thoughts with you so others can know about the loving care you provide to pet owners who lose their beloved pets. Losing a pet is very difficult since pets are family. When I lost my cat Esmeralda whom I called "Keeka" I was recommended to Heavenly Days by Friendship Animal Hospital in Washington DC. I was very distressed and grieving at that time and immediately said yes to the recommendation. I had not used your service before and when I got the call from your staff member Linda telling me that my "Keeka" had arrived safely at your crematory along with your condolences I was very much comforted by that. That call was an important one for me. Linda helped me select the urn and asked if there was anything else she could do to help. Linda even helped me by providing additional information about a pet cemetery I was familiar with in the past. When I picked up the urn it proved to be beautiful despite my tears. I elected to use your "Down Memory Lane" pet memorial on your website and your staff member Greg went to a great deal of trouble to make sure my cat's picture was put on the memorial properly. Thank you so much Heavenly Days Staff for making the loss of my "Keeka" less difficult.

You are the "Unspoken Heroes" when it comes to pet care. Please keep doing what you do so well for all those people who need your wonderful services.

Hi Linda,

I was at work today when you called so it was hard to talk and not start crying. Thank you so much for your call. It really meant a lot. The loss of Lexi has been such a shock and so very difficult. I know that you had the same difficult day that we did with your loss and we will always share that. We have been through many pets with you over the years, but this one has been especially hard.

We want to thank you and your staff for all your warmth and kindness with putting Lexi to rest. Her paw prints, her lock of hair, and her beautiful box. All are a great tribute to her and mean so much to us. Bringing her home that day helped. Greg was so kind and took such care with her - I couldn't have asked for any more.

So thank you and your staff for everything, and thank you for your kind call today. Our family greatly appreciates everything you have done for us in the past and now with Lexi.

Hugs,

~ Linda and Lexi W.

Dear Staff at Heavenly Days:

I recently received the ashes of my dear cat, Gypsy. I have not communicated with you because I left on vacation two days after Gypsy's death, and so I got swamped when I returned home.

I just want you all to know that dealing with you was wonderful. The man who answered my tearful call on September 8, was so comforting and professional. He sounded so kind that I felt happy that my dear friend Gypsy would be in his hands.

I called two other crematories on the same day before I called you. I found them to be quite nasty and uncooperative. Both places wanted to tack on fees of more than $100 - $150 just to pick my poor Gypsy's body up for cremation. They also acted as if coming into Washington was like entering a dark and dangerous jungle. In fact, both places told me that they expected me to go to the Humane Society Shelter, pick up the body, and drive it out to them someplace in God-knows-where, Maryland. What's more, they said that this is what all their customers normally do! It was an unthinkable idea at that very vulnerable moment. It isn't that I didn't want to deal with Gypsy's death, but I was a bit afraid the body would be injured and probably pretty smelly at that point.

When I called you, you told me that picking up the departed one was part of your work, and you did not charge extra for it. I could have kissed that fellow I spoke to. Then, when I returned from vacation, I found among my many messages one from your staff informing me that Gypsy had been picked up and was safe with you; then another that he had been cremated that day; and, a third that he was being sent to me. I was really impressed at your staff's sensitivity and thoughtfulness, and sorry I couldn't return your calls when you left them. My silence did not mean I didn't care. It meant a lot to me that you treated him with such dignity and respect.

Anyway, thank you all for being who you are, and for really superior service at a point when I nedded it.

Sincerely,

~ Rose D.

Bless you both for all you do.

Dear Jeanette, Greg and Staff at Heavenly Days,

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for taking such good care of my beloved Heidi. Losing Heidi on August 3rd was very difficult for me and my family. She was 9 1/2 years old (January 17, 1998 - August 3, 2007). I am so glad that I entrusted her remains to Heavenly Days.

You have been so compassionate and have helped me through this difficult time. I appreciate you picking up Heidi at Green Valley Animal Hospital in Ijamsville for me. You were so wonderful on the phone and I probably called too much to check on Heidi.

I am thrilled with the hand carved wooden box. It is absolutely beautiful and the ribbon and flowers made it extra special. I loved the card and the Angel dog pin and it will be a constant reminder of my best girl.

Thank you for sending the donation to the Welfare League of Montgomery County in Heidi's name to help other animlas. That was an added bonus.

You are truly professional and compassionate and I would recommend your service to anyone who loved their pet as much as I did. I feel so much better having Heidi back in the family room. Even though the house seems empty with her living presence, having her back home gives us comfort. I wish that I had thought about cremating my other Miniature Schnauzer, Libby when she passed away in 1998.

Here are two pictures of my Heidi. You can use whatever one you want. She hasn't even been gone three weeks yet but I am still missing her terribly.

Thank You.

I just want to say thank you all so much for all you have done at the end of Nyla's journey.

You have made it all so easy at such a difficult time. You even went out of your way to pick her up in Catonsville Emergency Vet for me. You were so comforting over the phone, and I couldn't have asked for more! The box that you had chosen for her was amazingly gorgeous, I never imagined it would be so nice. It had little paw prints over it, and the ribbon that was around it just gave it that special touch, and that card, oh my gosh! But what really topped it all off was that beautiful little angel cat pin! Now that topped everything! And the donation you all do to help other animals, that was all added bonus! And I would HIGHLY recommend Heavenly Days to anyone that would love to bring their baby back home just for the comfort of knowing they are with them.

This is my Nyla, and I still miss her so much, she will live forever in my heart. She was 12 years old. (February 24th, 1995 - April 13th, 2007)

Thank You,

~ Sharon M.

Dear Linda, Jeanette, Greg, and Paul

We wanted to thank you for your thoughtfulness in transporting Ranger both to and from the Friendship Hospital for Animals for his autopsy. The autopsy results provided information that could help other dogs diagnosed with cancer.

The carved memorial receptacle lovingly tied with lace ribbon and a floral spray is beautiful. Also, the donation made to the Animal Welfare League of Montgomery County was a thoughtful memorial to Ranger. The angel pin was not only a poignant reminder of fond memories of Ranger, but those of the caring people that make Heavenly Days Animal Crematory such a special place.

The kindness and support that each one of you so generously provided has eased our sorrow during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

~ James & Candy L.

Hello...

I forgot to call you last week, but I picked up Rhoda last Sunday. The box is lovely!

We're going to spred some of her ashes in the house were she was born.

Thank you for taking such good care of her. She was a lovely, sweet cat and lived a long life. I'm just lucky she shared it with me.

Thank you so much for the kind and loving manner with which you handled our Juno's remains, and Sara's and my feelings over the loss of Juno.

The box with the lace ribbon and rose is so Juno.

Thank you also for Juno's guardian angel pin and the story of the Rainbow Bridge.

Hi Greg

I just wanted to say Thank-You again for doing a great job with Daisy on Friday.

I know you said I was brave during the cremation, but it was still very hard on me. I miss her so much, and it has only been 3 days since I put her down. I have her sitting above my fireplace right now, but when I go to sleep, she sleeps with me again like she always use too.

Please pass on my sincere thanks to the rest of the staff that was working on Friday. They both were nice to me, and the animals inside the office were a nice comfort for me while, I was dealing with the cremation. The witnessed cremation was indeed very beneficial to me, and is a great service to give to pet owners.

Thanks Again to You and the nice ladies
that were working on Friday.

~ Jeff S.
and Daisy, my beloved pet who I will always love!!!!!

Dear Greg & Family

It was very reassuring and comforting to have Tiger's pawprints framed, and the additional frame for his picture is a most thoughtful idea. The box which containes Tiger's ashes was tastefully done with the white ribbon, white flowers, and green leaves. The carved box was especially nice.

Also, want to thank you for the pin, i.e. Tiger's Guardian Angel.

Your contribution to the Animal Welfare League of Montgomery County in Tiger's memory was much appreciated.

Thank you for bringing Tiger home to me.

Sincerely,

~ Nancy R.

Dear Jeanette,

Thank you so much for taking care of Sasha's cremation. The pretty box and white rose & lace were really pretty - (like Sasha was!) and it helped alot to have your card and especially the angel pin. I do wear the pin and it is truly comforting somehow.

Sasha was the 20 year old Siamese - Mix ("Sealpoint") whose body we brought in on November 30th. She had been put to sleep at home and we had spent some hours (about 2) with her before we brought her in.

You made a very sad & difficult time much better for us.

Thank you again,

~ Kris K.

Thanks for the extra details for Zakia's cremation - The flowers and ribbon on the box and the cat-angel pin. I didn't think they were necessary, but they did make a difference.

I would like to thank you for all that you have done for Gabbie. Your sensitivity and understanding during this stressful time was greatly appreciated. I know Gabbie was in kind, competent hands which gave me great peace and comfort.

I miss her terribly but it was the right decision to make.

Everything was beautifully done.

Enclosed is a picture of Gabbie in happier days. She was special.

Thank you so very much for giving the peace of mind. I can't praise you and your staff enough.
