I've had two cats put down and cremated through forget me not. They need to step up their game now that my recently deceased cat was cremated elsewhere! Forget me not only gave me a cedar box, with no name on it. That's it. And I had to go pick it up at forget me not or else I would have had to drive back to the animal hospital which is further away. The other pet crematorium gave me a wooden box with attached picture frame (so I can put my pet's photo in it, for display). And they gave me a little bottle with fur clippings. AND they gave me a ceramic stone paw print with pet name engraved on it. And entire thing was mailed to my home for no extra charge.

We couldn't have asked for better. Everything was perfect. The little touches were wonderful. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our world, Stella.

My wife and I lost our dear little Tot on 12/23/21. We entrusted her to Forget Me Not for an individual cremation. The ashes they returned to us were not hers. How can I be sure? *Tot was a 20-gram robo dwarf hamster. They sent back about 60 grams of ashes.* I understand that people make mistakes. This was a particularly egregious error, but if they had just been able to tell us what happened we might get some closure. They couldn't even give us a plausible theory. No answers, no promise to address the issue so that this wouldn't happen to any other grieving pet owners- just a refund. Utterly unacceptable.

I was very happy with Forget Me Not. The urn I chose is beautiful and very well made. I love the brass plate, and the clay paw was well done. Everything came in a nice tote. They added forget me not seeds and a paw pin. I would highly recommend. The only complaint I have is, I chose an urn off the website after someone told me to go to the website to look.when I called back I was told the one I chose was discontinued.
They should keep inventory on the site up to date, or tell people which ones are discontinued before they spend time and tears looking. But I'm still very happy with what I have. And their prices are extreamly reasonable

I have had nothing but a great experience with forget me not. They are kind compassionate and prompt. Over 30 years they have taken care of 3 of my dogs and now I am faced with yet the decision to put another one down. The ashes have been returned to me quickly and my dogs are home for now. They will all join me one day when I pass and we will be spread at our favorite spots. My heart is broken once again and soon in the near future I will adopt or purchase another service dog.
The heart break I feel for each and everyone of my boys is always with me. How ever the love the loyalty and all the great memories is well worth the hear ache. Hank Williams once said when I die I want to go were the animals go, who knows one day I may meet Hank Williams. God speed to all that have been lost. And thank you forget me not for your compassionate and heartfelt Sevice.

My first kitty Peanut passed away in September 2020, she was privately cremated at Forget Me Not and her remains came back to me in a beautiful wooden box along with her paw imprint on clay. And a packet of Forget Me Not flower seeds. When my second kitty Ollie passed August 2021 I made arrangements for him to be taken to Forget Me Not too. Staff is incredibly kind and patient, understanding and compassionate! Knowing my kitties were at a good place like Forget Me Not made it easier to grief.
