Our Paisley Girl

My 14 year old chocolate lab Paisley lived a full life of love and devotion. She had so many surgeries and health issues, but she endured and gave us so much. We finally had to say goodbye. Even though we wanted to hold on, she let us know that she was tired and with grace and dignity we sent her on to a better place where she can play w our first chocolate lab of 14 YEARS, Mocha. Final gift went above and beyond and made a difficult time bearable. My fears and concerns were met with care and love for our dear Paisley. I can’t Thank them enough for giving her the respect she deserved. Thank you!!

Daphne’s final Goodbye

This past Monday I said goodbye to my 18 year old soul dog Daphne. I wanted her cremated but was appalled to learn from the vet that she would he sent out and shipped back to them a few days later. Our fur babies are not Amazon packages!!!
I did some research at found that The Final Gift in Oxford, CT, about an hour and a half away from me, does private same day cremations and has viewing services...aka a wake. This is what I wanted. I didn't want my last goodbye with my baby to be in a room in a hospital, I wanted to give her a dignified send off as if she were a human family member. I set up a viewing a few days later and could not believe the respect and attention she (and we) were given. I even got to hold her one last time as they have a warming process, so she was not cold or stiff, it was like she was sleeping. Ultimately I wish pet funeral homes were more common place...maybe one day they will be, but until then, if you want to honor your fur baby with a dignified send off suitable for a human, I could not recommend this place enough.

Final goodbye

My family can not say enough good things about final gift. They were so easy to work with and so accommodating and respectful. We were able to hold a funeral for our sweet girl and they let us have as many people as we wanted and groomed and had our girl looking so beautiful and peaceful . Every single person on staff was incredible and the guys who do the cremation gave us an extra hour to spend with our girl prior to her cremation. It was a very difficult time but the team made the process smooth

Miss Dina

I used your service for my dog Jesse. Your people were kind and thoughtful throughout the process. Jason was so warm and professional. It helped make a bad situation better. Thank you so much.

mona and pete

They took care of both of my babies and I can't say enough about their services. My girl and boy were handled with the utmost respect and returned to me with paw prints and the most beautiful urns I could imagine.
I can't thank them enough for the care they showed
