Thank you

I just wanted to thank you Gateway Pet Memorial for creating an this beautiful cremation of my boy Sparky. My parents brought him home yesterday. I felt so happy to welcome Sparky home in cremation and we also set up a beautiful Memorial tribute table for Sparky. I Miss my boy Sparky everyday; in life he was the sweetest little boy ever and he was so friendly and so happy. He loved being with people and he was so funny and always the cutest boy. He will be remembered with so many memories, he lived great 11 years of his life. We will keep Sparky’s legacy alive and has crossed over the rainbow bridge to Heaven to be free with no more suffering from all the pain and he will never be forgotten and he will be missed in his memory and his spirit will always live on in my heart forever 11.27.2009-11.26.2021

Thank you for your care

Thank you so much for taking such care of our precious and loved dog, Strawberry. Losing her was the worst day of our life and I still cry every day for her. Knowing that she was cared for so well by your company helped us very much. Her urn and locket were returned to us with beautiful packaging and a card, and I knew at once that you put love into every single pet you receive while preparing for them to return home.
A question I had for you, via email, was answered quickly, and with kindness and compassion. Everything you did was so appreciated, beyond words. Thank you.

THANK YOU GATEWAY

I wanted to thank Gateway Pet Memorial for the wonderful care and compassion shown to my friend who recently lost his beloved Rebel. Specifically, I would like to thank Jane, who took the time to help my friend and show him the utmost respect and understanding. Your kindness did not go unnoticed, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My Heart – Rhylee Elizabeth

I have never been able to have children. Rhylee, picked me. The moment I saw her I was in love. We brought her home and had no idea this spazzy little ball of fur was going to command our hearts as she did. It was a very quick and surreal loss. She just got tired on Sunday and at 530 Monday morning, she was gone. Peacefully here at home in our bathroom. I was shredded. There was no consoling me. I found no peace. I didn't see her suffer in debilitating pain. I didn't have to wrestle with the "am I making the right choice?" She chose. The pain, the heartbreak it was always there. Stealing my breath. Bringing her back home felt like a brand new day of hurt and loss. Would I ever be ok without her? No. Definitely not. I lost my angel on November 5th 2018. On March 30th 2019, my friend brought me to the humane society. There we found Charlie. This boy, wow!! His sister sure is doing a great job guiding him. Having my baby angel home and a bit of her in my infinity pendant keeps her right beside my heart where she belongs. I am forever grateful for the care that went into my babies aftercare. I am not a strong enough person to be able to handle the work you all at Gateway do, but I am so happy that you, if you have any type of hand in the workings of this centre, thank you. Your work means so much.

Hershey

Thank you so much for the beautiful way our sweet girl Hershey was returned to us. The urn is a gorgeous sand colour with a blue ribbon and little wooden heart with her name engraved on it, and it was nestled in a cozy velvet bag. We also received a certificate of cremation and a pamphlet on pet grief and loss. It was more caring and compassion than I ever expected to receive at this most difficult time in our lives.

Moose

I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the services provided by Gateway. After losing Patches in August we were devastated to have Moose being euthanized the following month. When we were told that the urn we requested was not available until November, we pick out a beige urn. We indicated that all of our other pets had the blue urn and when we receive Moose we were surprise and grateful to see that his was also blue. Thank you for making this trying time easier when Moose arrived home. Helen and Don Sutherland

Beautiful job

Hi there,
Although our vet ( Forest Glade Animal Hospital) in Windsor, communicated with Gateway on our behalf, we are still very impressed with their services. On February 27, 2021, we said goodbye to our female German Shepherd. Then just a few days ago, not quite 7 months later, our male GSD was put down. Both were unexpected and completely devastating. Today, we received our boys ashes. They sit in the curio cabinet with our girls ashes. The presentation alone shows that much care and respect are taken. Their clay paw prints are well done too. Thank you for taking care of Harly and Jax. Both cedar urns with their names carved on top are just beautiful. Losing 2 dogs in 7 months is unimaginable. But having them back home brings us comfort. Thank you for taking special care of our babies.
Sincerely,
Cindy and Henry Karch

pATTON’S PASSING

My heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the staff at Gateway for their kindness, compassion and patience with me during a most difficult time. We had to say good-bye for our lovely dear boy Patton (GSD) on July 31, 2021 at just over 11 yrs of age. Carrie at the Guelph office was so pleasant and understanding and spent the time with me explaining all of my options. We chose a private cremation along with a final farewell to our boy at the Ottawa location. A VERY SPECIAL thanks to Alexandra at the Ottawa location who supported me through the entire process the day Patton was cremated. Alexandra's compassion, and empathy meant the world to me. It was so comforting to have Alexandra there and for that, I am forever grateful. The staff during the actual cremation were also very compassionate and respectful. I was able to bring our boy home later that day in the beautiful urn of our choosing. Thank you again Gateway for all that you do! You made a very sad time feel healing.
Best,
Brigita

….I really don’t know exactly where to begin with my praise & thanks to this amazing team….
From allowing me to bring my fur baby directly to you (Hazel) to the ever expanding “options” with the aftercare wishes (Purrogie.. Rusty)…. I haven’t been left behind or let down.
The time & care …. My numerous emails of ideas and thus questions for the artists … THE ARTISTS.

Anything that is “fur” matched or photo matched… well my creative craZy mind started flickering — years ago it was colors off the regular chart, now it’s sparkles & whatever thoughts I lay out that are what remind me of my fur baby & will be the momento(s) to continue to be that HAPPY rememory of them always. I love how nothing I ask is too insane, and everyone is SO HELPFUL!

Gateway Pet Memorial & the team members keeping strong … I am furever grateful for the ways you help me stay attached to my fur babies who have crossed the rainbow bridge xoxox 🌈

our sincere thanks

After the lost of our precious Zoe, we made the decision to have her cremated as she was so special to us. Our Vetenerian team were excellent and so supportive through this process and already dealt with Gateway so we decided to trust them. We were blown away by Gateway professionalism and the dignity with which both Zoe and ourselves were treated. I would definitely recommend them.
