- Today we lost a furry brother and son, Mugsy. We rescued Mugsy from a shelter over 10 years ago and he brought nothing but love, happiness, and mischief into our lives. We are grateful that Mugsy passed peacefully in the bed he loved so much surrounded by his loving family. We called Faithful Companion and they arrived at our home within 30 minutes and were incredibly compassionate and respectful of our loss. They made this unbearable and difficult process just a little bit easier. We were able to say goodbye to Mugsy one last time and bring his remains home with us just two hours later. We would highly recommend Faithful Companion to anyone who knows what it truly means to love an animal. Mugsy's Family
- I just lost a part of my heart when i lost my true faithful companion PENNY, she was my world this little dog, she passed away in my arms at home on Oct 29th, 2011..I thought a creamation was best for my little girl since she'd be home once again with me, my step sister mentioned Faithful Companion to me, and knew some of the staff and said they are very caring and so she took penny with her to work (at an animal hospital) Faithful companion picked her up the very same morning and she was cremated the same day. I got her back right away and she is in a nice wood box with her name enscribed wich i thought was very thoughtful of them. They also have a very nice presentation of pamphlets and a sympathy card, a beautiful book mark type style with "Rainbow Bridge" on it which made me cry..but it was of happy tears because its true; Their staff Anthony came to my door and I told him i was her owner, and he was compasionate and said he was sorry for my loss, im sure its not an easy job delivering these pets to all of us, but he was sweet and sincere and I really appreciate it, Thank you Anthony, and thank you to the owners who have really big hearts to create a pet cremation service, for those of us that do not wish to have our friends burried. A big thank you from me and Pennny for taking good care of her and making this difficult time for me to have peace of mind that she was infact well taken care of by caring individuals, thank you again, I will refer your services to anyone I come across that has an unfortunate loss of a pet. Best Regards, Jessica S
- I have been struggling to find the words to express our deepest thanks and appreciation for the compassion, sincerity and respect with which Faithful Companion (Clifton, NJ) has treated us, and more importantly, our dog Lucy. You were flexible and attentive to our unusual last minute situation. Faithful Companion allowed me to participate fully in the process for my beloved Lucy. I was able to see, and needed to see *first hand* and without question that it was *my* pet that came home with me that day. This gave me tremendous piece of mind that will help me through my grief. You have brought comfort to our hearts and made an impression that will last forever. Thank you for your kindness. Kristen Cardell
- Thank you Faithful Companion for your services with my cat, Melanie. My husband and I were impressed with the respect and dignity in which she was treated. We could not believe when we got the call the next morning that her remains were ready to be picked up. It really helped jump start our long road to recovery from our grief. Loosing Melanie is one of the hardest things I've had to endure, but your services provided a peace of mind that really helped at a time like this. I highly recommend Faithful Companion. Thank you for caring. Beth Wall
- Thanks to Faithful Companion and to Dr.Szostek for his care of my pet Rudy. Rudy was so sick he had to be put to sleep. My friend Julia had a great experience with her pet "Big Dew" through Faithful Companion Staff. Julia mentioned to me the possibility of Rudy being creamated because of the professional,caring, and compassion offered by Dr. Szostek and staff. Julia made the arrangements and Rudy was picked up immediately and returned back home within 24 hrs. I would recommend this service to everyone. A 5 Star operation. D.L.F. Thanks for caring.

- I recently had to have my beloved cat Tabby cremated. He died at home and I took him to Faithful Companion on 4401 West Ridge Road in Gary. Tom Groen, the owner, is the most compassionate, caring, trusting and understanding person I ever encountered in this experience. I called Tom at 2:00 am when my cat passed and he was waiting for me that same morning at the crematory. If you wish to have your beloved pet cremated please use Faithful Companion. It was the best final journey my cat ever had. Kristine T. - Highland
- Thank you to everyone at Faithful Companion for the care and compassion that my family received during the difficult and painful job of making final arrangements for our beloved pet (Sydney). Having the opportunity to be present for the cremation provided comfort and closure. It was comforting to be able to bring Sydney home that same day. Also, the urn that we purchased is BEAUTIFUL! We will certainly recommend you to all our friend and family. Sincerely, Dawn Bowles
- I would like to thank everyone at Faithful Companion for the care that they showed my cat Sebastian when he was cremated on Saturday. He was my baby for 11 years and this is the first time I lost a pet. When I got Sebastian's cremated remains today there was a beautiful card and poem in there and I would like to thank everyone for your kindness. I would definitely recommend Faithful Companion.

- On August30th we had to make the difficult decision of putting our beautiful 11 year old maltese Sammy to sleep after years of suffering from heart and lung disease. Because my husband and I have no children - he truly was our baby. Having seen a newpaper article about Faitful Companion and telling a friend about them i called them. There was care and compassion from Anthony from the first moment i spoke with him. Sammy was picked up within one hour from our vet and back home in his little box by 2:30 that afternoon. When picking sammy up we spoke with Anthony & Jim Morrocco and we had a nice conversation with them talking about how special Sammy was to us. There was no rushing us - they gave us as much time as we needed. We think this is a wonderful thing that they do for pets and their families and would highly recommend them for the great service and compassion they provide when it is needed the most. Our pets provide us with unconditional love and this is one last way to give them the dignity they deserve. When all was done we spoke with the staff at Nutley Animal Hospital and they also praised the care Anthony took when picking up Sammy and were very impressed with the professionalism. People should not hesitate to use this service. Barbara Bartetta
- It has been 10 days now since I lost my furry, four-legged, 15 year old baby. The pain of losing him has been/is almost unbearable, but I wanted to take just a few minutes to say 'thank you' to Phil and Faithful Companion. This was my first experience losing a pet, and Phil was kind, professional, respectful, helpful, and patient. I can't put into words how thankful I am to my mom for finding Faithful Companion and to Phil for treating Shadow and my family in a way I didn't think was possible. Phil picked Shadow up from the vet within an hour of my phone call to him, and then called me back right away with an update on his condition (I was concerned I may not be able to view him one last time). Upon arriving at Faithful Companion that afternoon, I was a wreck, but Phil gave me all the time that I needed to say goodbye one last time. Everything was taken care of within one day after Shadow's death which helped me tremendously. I needed that closure. I'm so comforted knowing that I truly have Shadow, and only Shadow, back with me and know that he was treated just as I wanted him to be treated. He was, and always will be, my precious, loving baby. I can't wait to see him again in Rainbow Bridge. Thank you to Phil and Faithful Companion for your support and service during this terribly difficult time. You will be recommended, and I will most definitely keep you in mind for my future needs. Jennifer Bass
