Best Pet Funeral Service Independence Near Me

Kim K: Have ordered a few items from Chris and would recommend him for your Memorial pieces

Tami Martinez: Finding Sands of Time was a huge blessing. Our daughter was tragically killed by a drunk driver. She leaves behind her precious son. We ordered a fingerprint tag for him. The fingerprint image we provided was extremely poor quality, but it was all we had. The finished product was so exquisite, you would never have known the original image was so compromised. It is absolutely her print. When the fingerprint tag arrived, it came with a personal note from the artist sharing their story of losing their mother. There was a connection and appreciation. This kind of understanding is invaluable. We also had 30 Heaven Drops made with a small amount of her ashes. I thought I knew what they would look like from the photos on their webiste, but when the Heaven Drops arrived, they were much larger and more beautiful than imagined. There is a loop on each one for a tie or chain. Very sturdy and gorgeous. Communication was excellent and the artistry is wonderful.

We will treasure them forever and pass them down as heirlooms. ❤️

Alyssa Wallis: The care, compassion, and respect this company shows to your loved one's cremated remains is unparalleled.

Melissa Stiehler: Incredible craftsmanship and such compassionate staff. Highly recommend!

tomtin2001: Our beloved Cavalier, Bebe passed away unexpectedly on July 21. Our veterinarian, All Creatures in Overland Park assisted us in setting up her cremation through Pet Cremation Services. I am so grateful for your compassion and care as you handled Bebe's remains and provided her ashes back to us in a nice wooden case that allowed us to put one of our favorite photos of her in it. Everything Pet Cremation Services did was first class and befitting of the love we felt for her. We felt the box to house her ashes, the wrapping of the ashes, the clay cast of her little paw, the tiny vial with her ashes, the accompanying card and information on coping with loss of a companion animal and understanding grief were perfect and they consoled us during this sad time knowing that such an organization cared for our dear girl to give her the best. We owe you a big debt of thanks and hope others if faced with this loss turn to you to help them take care of their pet. Thank you so much!

Rhiannon Barney: I can't put into words how grateful I am for our experience with PCS. Losing our beloved Great Dane was one of the hardest days for our family.We chose an in-home euthanasia with Lap of Love and Austin from PCS came to our home to pick up our big boy. He was kind, gentle and showed compassion toward our family at our worst time. (If you see this Austin, thank you so very much for your kindness)Our boy was returned to us in a beautiful carved box with a name plate and cremation certificate.The care provided by PCS is more than we could've expected.No one ever wants to need this kind of service but I'm eternally grateful to have had PCS for our experience.

xxelektra: Thank you for the care and respect you showed towards my sweet cat. Her ashes were returned to me so beautifully, carefully encased in a lovely wooden box. She was with me for 21 years, and this was exactly the kind of grace and dignity I wanted for her at the end. This was so meaningful to our family, and helped to ease the heartache we have felt since the loss of our dearest companion.

kalah talley: they are all so nice. the drivers, the owners, I really like them all. they have a new ordering interface with more options and it's awesome as well!

Melissa K: Wasn't able to write a review until now, years later, because it was too painful. I'd recommend this place to anyone. Super compassionate, respectful, efficient, and timely. Was helped on a Sunday afternoon and so appreciated the kind service.

Teri Milbourn: These people obviously take pride in their work. You can tell they treat each pet with dignity and respect. I've had two furbabies pass through their services, and both times their ashes were returned to me in a pretty cherry wood box labeled on the bottom with my pet's name. Inside the box the ashes are wrapped in plastic, inside a gossamer drawstring bag. Included is a certificate of cremation and a Rainbow Bridge poem. Their tender care makes a traumatic time a little bit more bearable.

Steva Stewart: My vet used their services when my sweet girl passed on 5/28/2021. I didn't realize they provide a lovely, wooden, complimentary urn for the ashes. I just opened the box last evening and assumed it was just a plastic bag of ashes inside the cardboard container. But it was a beautiful wooden box and her ashes, while in plastic were placed in a nice simple drawstring sack. I felt that much love and care had been taken with her and I really appreciate that. Thank you for taking care of my best friend.

Earl Paul Williams: I've had three of my cats pass through this service. My last cat, Prince, died Wed April 21st and I have his remains back today the 23rd of April. I feel so relieved to know that this company handled his remains. Thank you for the services you provide to us and our pets.

valerie gomez: The woman who helped me was beyond amazing helping me step by step. They truly care about our pets who have passed over and make sure that our pets have the perfect memorial. Highly recommend!

k W: Our vet handled this part - didn't even know the cremation service our vet used. The process was so easy during such a difficult time. The process was fast and we were able to get "baby dog" back to her resting place. Surprised by the package with a beautiful box plus we got a print of her paw.... simply melted my heart. Again, THANK YOU so much for making a difficult time a little easier. Totally recommend !!

Cliff Meek: Thoughtful, kind, caring people here. They do a good job in a difficult time for their clients.

Thunder Lightning: Exceptionally Professional ! We LOVE our pets like children . They treat each family and our loved pets with respect ! We could not have asked for a more respectfully and professionally run Family orentated final services

H Dixie: Thank everyone so much

Carlos Andrade: Our dog Odin past away Friday morning after 9 1/2 years. I knew it was coming but still not easy. I had done my research ahead of time but was really surprised how thoughtful and helpful everyone there was. We dropped off Odin Friday afternoon and on Monday they called to let me know Odin cremains were really. The staff where very respectful and presented Odin in a lovely complimentary urn. My family is glad to have Odin back home again. I am very happy with service provided and would use again. I highly recommend them if you find yourself in need of the service.

Michael Adamson-Kauffman: We have utilized Pet Cremation Services, numerous times, over the past 10 years, and we have been treated with the utmost care and compassion every time, without fail. Highly recommended!

Margo Aldridge: My Vet sent my dog to this service for cremation. I couldn’t have found anyone better and I have used other places prior for other pets. I had the ashes returned in four days - also they were in a beautiful cherry wood urn, which I did not expect. Other times, ashes have been returned in a heavyweight plastic bag in a cardboard box. A certificate of cremation was also sent and a concrete paw print cast. I was very satisfied with everything that was taken care of for my beloved pet.

Pepper Harper: I called the morning that my sweet mini doxie passed away and they were quick to answer the phone. I did not need to make an appointment, but they were prepared for me the moment I walked in the door. They were extremely professional and caring working up all the paperwork and made sure you had ample time before taking your pet away. I was EXTREMELY surprised when they called me the next day to let me know she was ready to pick up, even with the huge ice storm that had just occurred. The terra cotta paw print is totally worth it and I will cherish it always. This will not be the last time we use them and I highly recommend for anyone else looking to cremate their beloved pet to use them!

Ta Ta Ta Tia!: My rabbit of many years died from a prolonged illness, and it was devastating. I entrusted that my vet would go through with cremation and they use this facility... everything went as planned until I got my rabbits ashes back. My rabbit's name was spelled wrong and her age was also wrong. I thought there must have been some mistake between the vet and the facility, so I called them personally and had them correct it. The problem being that the O at the end of my rabbits name was capitalize and that the age was wrong... they apologized and sent me a new one, only to have change the O entirely into an L, but they did correct the age ... But honestly it is hard enough losing a pet, but then a cremation facility screws up a six letter name! And also theres the expense that came along with it, made me feel that they should have been paying more attention... although I do know that errors happen but for the second time in a row, and having to wait for a certificate only to find that it was wrong too. Having to use a label maker to correct my pet's name on her ashes box, so I can always remember the date that she died was thoroughly annoying.

Rick Gardner: This was one of the worst days of our lives and Linda and the staff were so wonderful. Thank you for taking care of our little missy.

Jess Dale: A very personalised approach, very sincere, sensitive and respectful company. Thank you to all the staff for everything!

Jennifer Taylor: This place is amazing I had to use them 3 times in the last 3 years

Lenora Stearns: My cat was taken here after he passed away by the emergency vet. While his urn is beautiful, his paw print wasn't done well and feels fragile. I also asked for a clipping of his fur, which I did not get. That was the most important thing to me and my wishes weren't respected. I'm not sure why, maybe it wasn't on the paperwork (even though i asked, 4 or 5 times). Thank you for giving him back to me.

Olivia Fergerson: My family has had three fur babies sent to them the most recent being a week or so ago they always done a great job at one of our hardest times. We always went through our vet to have a private cremation and their ashes returned to us so we can bury them in the yard they ran in and they would be close to us. Unfortunately our latest baby although he was put down for private he was put in communal by mistake and spread across the rolling acres instead of coming home. We got his ceramic paw prints which I will cherish but it's hard not having him home with our other two fur angels. I'm not mad because I know mistakes happen even to the best of us. I'm more sad and heartbroken that he is not as close as we would like him to be because it feels like losing him again. Thanks for all that you do and please take care of gizmo there for us.

Lauren A: If you decide to try and plan ahead and prepay for certain services and then have to go through a vet that partners with the cemetery make sure you either plan on transporting the pet yourself or state clear instructions to the vet and call the cemetery as well or things may not go as you planned. I had paid for cremation and a clay paw print for my dog, Sky, a few days ahead of time. I was trying to be proactive and have it done thinking we had more time together but unfortunately things did not work out that way. A few days after prepayment she had to be euthanized which was already heartbreaking enough, and as my vet was a partner with this cemetery I decided to have him transport her to the cemetery rather than me move her myself as I didn’t think I could emotionally handle it.Well between me prepaying and me also going through the vet there were two “profiles” I was entered into rolling acres system under and unfortunately my dog was checked into the one through the vet. I understand exactly how something like this could happen, as it is kind of confusing and people make mistakes, sure. However I feel like there should be some software or something that notifies this company of double entries of customers to avoid this.Since my dog was checked in under the other profile and my vet had not gone over the options with me, she was signed up for the most basic options with no clay paw print that I paid for and a different urn. When sky was ready to be picked up a woman called and informed me of what happened. I could tell she felt bad and didn’t want to have to let me know but she never really apologized. I simply asked for a refund and to move my dog to the correct urn at the time as I was stunned that this really happened and didn’t know what to say. But the paw print was truly something sentimental that I was really hoping for and I missed out on and can never get back because of someone else’s mistake.When I came in for pickup it seemed very impersonal and the only mention of the error was asking for my card to do the refund and the woman didn’t seem apologetic at all. Perhaps she wanted to just avoid an uncomfortable encounter, but it really just sucked to miss out on this and have it seem like no one really cared.Even during the preplanning I felt sort of rushed and like I wasn’t supposed to be there. I had called and set an appointment to talk about options but when I showed up the woman seemed confused on why I was there then quickly took me to a separate room and had me pick options in a matter of minutes without really explaining anything.Overall the facility is nice, pricing was good, they took care of my dog quickly and most of the employees I spoke with were just okay. The only person I spoke with that felt genuine was Karen, who is the one I initially called and she set the appointment time for me. I didn’t catch anyone else’s name I interacted with but I was pretty disappointed because everyone else’s reviews say how personable and comforting everyone was and that was not my experience at all.

Pam Gladless: The staff at Rolling Acres was so nice. The lady that brought me Tracey Jo's ashes was so kind. She wanted to hear all about Tracey. Eventhough she never met Tracey she had genuine caring and compassion.The grounds are beautiful.Its a very peaceful and loving place.Thank you for taking good care of my girl

Amy Smith: I would like to thank you for taking care of my Pugsley in such a great way. You sent his ashes home to me in a beautiful urn along with his clay pawprint and ink one too. I still have yet to find the perfect picture of him to put in the picture window.

Lisa Manning: Wonderful and helpful.

Aziya Rash: On January 8 , 2022; we unexpectedly had to put our beloved pit bull down. Our pet hospital sent her to this location and now I see why! I have been speaking on the phone to a lady by the name of Karen, and another person before her but I can’t remember her name(maybe Julie?). They were very nice to me, and respectful. We had been trying to get a clip of my dogs hair because in the midst of everything we forgot to ask the vet. So I called this place and they offered more options to remember our dog by, and even gave me time to decide what I wanted!! These people are very understanding and patient when it comes to the loss of your pet. I will be returning to this company for any other memorial services !

rich ehlers: The care and compassion showed in the handling of our dog Polo was touching. When we received our pets ashes back we were overwhelmed with how much care and love went into our dogs final resting. Thank you all so very much from the bottom of our hearts

Watchgirl 77: I just lost my beautiful Katie earlier this week! I wanted her cremated. My vets office, Jackson animal clinic 5 stars btw, sent her remains to Rolling Acres Memorial for her cremation. The things I got back from them was just.. wonderful! Her urn was beautiful! It looked better than the picture that I picked out. And then to my surprise I got her pawprint on a piece of clay with her name and engraved on it. Just such a beautiful way for me to remember my Kitty cat Katie! Thank you rolling acres you guys are wonderful keep up the good work!

Katreena Bass: It was hard to say goodbye to my chihuahua that had most of my life but Karen at Rolling Acres was amazing and helped take care of everything

Silent Kasbah: Many years ago our beloved poodle silver passed away. As a family we decided to bury him at a pet cemetery. And today I was fortunate enough to speak to someone at the cemetery and ask them if they could tell me if this was his final resting place. I asked her if Silver was there if she would please take a picture of his gravesite and send it to me. As I said it’s been many many years since Silver passed. I lost my mother in 2007 and my father had Alzheimer’s so I have been on a mission to find Silver’s grave. Today this wonderful lady I spoke to sent me the picture I have wanted for many years. Thank you so much ❤️

gina finley: Rolling acres is the place to have your loving pet cremated. The love that they put into every aspect of this difficult time is amazing. Pierre was treated with the upmost respect. THANK U!!!

Shadow Merriel: They help me when I lost my Zsazsa Bear Merriel.

Kent Rockwood Tyler: It is always hard to lose a pet. They have cremated three dogs of mine over the years. Very professional, compassionate employees & modern facility.I'm a very simple man, so I like simple and that's okay with them. They aren't pushy at up-selling. They do have some very nice urns and such plus various options.Am grateful for their services.

Rebecca Weaver: I’ve had all of my pets cremated at Rolling Acres for the last 16 yrs. Most recently I lost my sweet 8 yr old Boxer/Pit mix Snyder to lymphoma. They are the kindest most compassionate people. They are very comforting & understanding in your time of grief.

Stacy Steward: All of my pets have been buried there. The staff are all wonderful and super professional. Karen especially is amazing! As heartbreaking as it is to lose a pet, I always enjoy talking to Karen. She’s listened more than once while I cried reminiscing about one of my babies. Rolling Acres has always gone above and beyond in my experience. They truly understand what it’s like to experience the loss of a pet.

Mark James: These people are so caring they helped me out so much with my dog diesel that just passed away I really appreciate all your guys help and reaching out to me and seeing how I am doing.

Kelsey Russell: I took my beloved dog, Paisley, to the vet after she passed away, and they used Rolling Acres as their cremation services. I was just expecting her cremains to come back in a cardboard box, but Rolling Acres went above and beyond my expectations. I received a mold of Paisley's paw print, her cremains were placed in a beautiful box, and touching paperwork was included, as well. Rolling Acres made the very traumatic experience of losing my pet much easier with their kindness and wonderful services.

S Portz: At our age, we seem to be going to more funerals than baptisms or baby showers. Our family has been through quite a few funerals in the last few years with some dismal experiences. However, with Carson-Speaks here in Independence, walking in the door was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. They were thoughtful and attentive. From the first interview all the way through the final service at the burial site, the staff a Carson-Speaks in independence. Missouri went far above and beyond in our time of grief. Hats off to Blair, Jan, Robert and the rest of the team at Carson-Speaks Chapel-Scott Portz

Michael Ludwig: Carson-Speaks did a really great job and made a very difficult time for our family so much easier. They even followed up afterwards to see how we were doing. I would highly recommend.

Roger Schmitz: Very professional and understanding during our family’s loss.

Christi T: We have used this funeral home for several family members over the last several years and we couldn’t be happier. It’s always a very emotional time and they are always so very caring and patient. It’s comforting when they make you feel like they truly care about you and your passed on loved one.

Ken Allfree: Carson speaks, did an excellent job with my brother in laws funeral. The slide presentation &music were outstanding.The whole service flowed well. They handled it well,&,were very professional. Ken

robert shields: Carson-Speaks Chapel. Was completely helpful and kind . Helping our family through our time of crushing loss. They made it easy for us. Helpful employees . Guidance through all the details, that follow a death. Expected or not. There are many loose ends. Which Carson- Speaks helped us navigate. The Chapel was decorated wonderfully. Thanks for all you did. Robert Shields

Sean Gordon: Wonderful Staff and Facility, took excellent care of our Father, a bit overpriced but worth the extra cost.

Eric Stephenson: Very compassionate and understanding.

bentley connie: They were very attive an careing. Even wrote me later to see how i was doing!!! Very professional

Stephanie Eddins: Very friendly staff, knowledgeable and welcoming.

Penny Fellers: Rick was very respectful and put my family and I at ease on a very difficult day This also pertains to all of the staff at Carson-Speaks My family and I would highly recommend them

Donna Wiley: The kindness and compassion we received from Jessica and her team was above any expectations. In our time of grief we were never left alone. Any questions we had were immediately addressed. They were there from the moment we called, through the visitation, service and continue to check in on us. If you need a funeral home that shows compassion as well as knowledge to navigate the grief…Carson Speaks is just that!

Abby Zionskowski: We were very pleased with the services provided by Carson-Speaks Chapel. Katie was our director and did a fantastic job walking us through the process for my husbands grandmother. Katie made us feel included and heard during every aspect of the planning. We are very happy with the photo DVD, service pamphlets and obituary that was drafted and emailed for our approval before printing begun. You can feel that she is very passionate about her job and helping grieving families find peace during such a terrible time. Thank you Katie for making this difficult time for our family just a little bit less stressful!

Melissa Clark: Like a member of the family at any location

Felix Bleyenberg: Funeral home and are very caring

kip vance: Dealing with the details after the death of a loved one is a stressful and emotional time. I would like to thank Carson-Speaks for the good work in preparing my father. The director assigned to my family made some very simple mistakes that shouldn't have been made. Any mistake is magnified a 1000 times over for the grieving family. I hope that she is new to the business and learns from this if not Mr. Speaks should ask her to look for other work. I will look over the part when they give us options for a service, like the family has a choice it's the legacy package first then on to the other packages. Oh there are none It's just an itemized list so if you don't want the Sears photo center back drop you can pay an extra 300.00. Ok to the mistakes 1st She to use to the show room and wanted give us the sales pitch while another grieving family is in there trying to make one of the hardest purchases of their lives. 2nd We sent an email how the service was to progress. When that was done wrong we spoke with her as she was seating the family. We hoped that would get us back on track but she forgot to tell the speakers at the service so it was a very clustered service that went extremely wrong. 3rd the air condition in the building just happen to go out the morning of the service on June 9th 2021 90 plus degrees during the service. 4th both restrooms had plumbing issues the toilets would not flush men's or women's. 5th the obituary was written by a distressed family member when she received this it went straight to print no proof reading there could have been a call made to ask about corrections, mistakes went to print. And to finish out the day the family car wasn't running or cooled down when they loaded us. My sister and I had to climb in the front seat to get things going. The funeral home also charged us the cemetery charge which made a big confusion when we went to meet with them. All this for the low price of 14k. Check with the cemetery before you by the vault you will save around 400.00.

Kris Knight: Dealing with the details after the death of a loved one is a stressful and emotional time. I would like to thank Carson-Speaks for helping us through the process. The staff was so loving and kind. They knew what we would need before we did. The experience was amazing. Thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness down to the vey last detail.

Pamela Painter: My Mom pass in Jan. 2020. Everyone at Caraon Speaks made sure we were well taken care of. The service, flowers, everything was done wonderfully.

Mangold Family: They did everything we requested for my grandpa’s services with the utmost care and professionalism. We are so happy with the service they provided and would highly recommend them. They will take care of your loved ones!

Mamie Davis: Seem like nice people, but the rates they charge are crazy. I don’t know how anyone could (or would want to) pay the kind of money they want for simple cremation or a burial without services.

Trish Muenks: Funeral Director, Jamie, was always very helpful and mindful of our wishes. Great service for such a sad occasion.

Elisabeth McGill: During the most difficult time I have been through everyone we encountered at Speaks were kind and empathetic. Jamie is outstanding and went above and beyond for our family.

This isn't just a job for these good people...they care!

Ashley Agnew: They do a good job. They are really nice. They care about people. I love the services they put together.

Judy Williams: Wonderful organization ❣️

M Shavon Travis: March 2, 2023 changed my life forever. I lost my precious 6 year old grandson to an asthma attacked.We chose Speaks to handle his arrangements and memorial service. During the most difficult time of our lives, they relieved a lot of the stress off of our family. Jamie was very compaasionate and caring, as well as the rest of the staff.The day of his memorial, they were more than willing to do whatever we needed or ask to make sure the service was as perfect as possible....and it was beautiful. I can't thank them enough for helping our family and friends celebrate his life in a way that I know he would have loved.

Nancy Huffaker: I would highly recommend Speaks Suburban to help with funeral plans. Jamie is such an asset to them and helped us throughout the process without making us feel pressured or rushed to make final decisions.

Erica Stalker: Jamie was amazing through the entire process. Everyone was very helpful but she was extraordinary.

Missy Lappat: The Speaks, Suburban Chapel staff/family were so kind and supportive of our family in a time of loss of our beloved friend. Our experience was so delicate, Jessica provided supportive and caring presence. Kent provided a lovely eulogy. The staff have all continued to offer support and follow up, even after the service.

Peter B: Our family was very pleased with the service we received at Speaks. Jamie and the other professionals there helped us through the process and addressed some unique needs at this difficult time. We would highly recommend them.

Kim Doubledee: Speaks and all the employees especially Jamie made sure everything went the way we wanted for our mother and she was absolutely beautiful amazing thank you so much speaks

Bryon D. Grable: I can't say enough of the staff at Speaks and the assistance they provided when my daughter lost her baby due to still birth. The shock of losing Emy was devastating and thru the hospital staff we were directed to Speaks. Due to the nature of the loss they were able to provide through donation all preparations required to include donating the casket. They also assisted in getting our Angel moved to the other side of the state where she was placed to rest with her grandmother. Speaks truly eased the burden during a very emotional and tragic event. Thank you to the entire staff of Speaks for your kind and endearing support.

Deanna Beasley: Jamie and the Staff were the best. They took one of the hardest days of my life and gave us the service my husband would love. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for somewhere to honor their loved ones.

Michele Thomas: Our experience with Speaks was very good. We have used them in the past for a number of family members and relatives. Jessica is organized, compassionate, and very accommodating. We appreciated her suggestions regarding logistics and details. She handled a number of actions to relieve us of some of the "things" that had to be done. A positive experience.

Thomas Phillips: Very professional and helpful. They make a difficult situation much easier to deal with. Made excellent suggestions, but let us decide what we wanted. Taylor was wonderful to work with.

Kathy Williams: Very caring and comforting people at Speaks.

Greg Taylor: The folks at Speaks, especially Jamie and Elizabeth who helped us, were remarkable. They were very kind and attentive to whatever we needed. Both my Dad and my Mom were taken care of from the moment they passed until their final wishes were carried out. Thank you to everyone at Speaks Independence.

Charlie Goodrich: Stopped by to see friend. Didn't talk to any staff. Nice place. Plenty of room.

Angela Ortiz: April was so compassionate and helpful to our family in planning our service during this difficult time. She really was sincere and so quick to answer any questions for us when needed. I would highly recommend April and Heartland Cremation if needing professional and compassionate people to help you get through a difficult time when trying to plan a loved ones funeral.

Charles Juoni: I would like to Thank April for the wonderful job she did with my brother’s funeral arrangements . She put in a lot of effort dealing with a long distance request and 4 states being involved.

Jim Lee: Very caring and a positive experience in an otherwise horrible situation.

Patty Morrison: Heartland did a wonderful job taking care of my moms final arrangements. They kept me informed of every step of the process and they were very caring.

Bob Terry: Hannah, the funeral director, was very nice to work with. She did a great job, provided an excellent service and did it quite professionally. I give her 5 stars.

linda smith: We had prior experience with Heartland with both my mother and father in-laws. When it was time for me to make arrangements for my brother I called. Corey was absolutely amazing to work with. He took time to explain the entire process to us. My partner and I are planning on pre-paying for our cremations as well. We highly recommend Heartland Cremation and Funeral Services. Thank you to the staff for making it so much better of an experience than I would have thought possible considering the circumstances.

Debbie Francy: They are very kind and compassionate. They were very helpful with everything and took great care of my son Christopher. Thanks especially to Shannon for all her help!
