Friends Forever Pet Crematory did a beautiful job in caring for my siamese cat, Ciro Amore’s journey. He had a Private Cremation. His ashes arrived in a beautiful wooden box, and they were lovingly placed in a beautiful black velvet bag inside the box. Enclosed with the package was the Rainbow Bridge Story, his Cremation Certificate, a small card with a heart on it that contains wildflower seeds for planting, and a copy of his paw print. It brought me comfort and peace knowing he was so wonderfully handled. Totally recommend this service to anyone who goes through the loss of a fur baby.

Andrea is superb and the experience at friends forever was exactly what you would hope to have in the situation. In fact, beyond expectation. Andrea is so compassionate and handles your fur baby with love and care. We were so heartbroken when we had to put to sleep our 14 month old puppy after discovering he had lymphoma and his lymph node exploded. To have to put your animal to sleep is traumatizing no matter what and heart breaking but because our Blue was only 14 months, it seemed extra cruel. With our previous dog, we took him to Abby Glen and we really really regret that after finding out we probably didn’t get our dogs remains but a mass burning despite paying for private. Andrea let us watch (our choice but not required) the process as hard as it was to do but we wanted to make sure it was our Blue boy we were getting. We couldn’t have been happier with how Andrea treated Blue and us in our time of need and sadness. This place is truly a blessing. If you have to go thru this- don’t consider anywhere else but Andrea and Friends Forever.

With deep sadness our beloved best friend OTIS passed away at home on a Sunday. We searched online for a pet crematory and found Friends Forever Pet Crematory. I have to say from the second Andrea was contacted by phone to the day I received Otis’s ashes it was the most compassionate, caring, respectful, understanding experience I have ever had in this time of sadness. Andrea offered to come and help bring Otis to the facility if need be. When my children and I arrived Andrea greeted us and spent a tremendous amount of time explaining in detail all of the different services they provide. The option of allowing us to be there during the cremation to the letter style of plaque, the saying on the wooden box, the clay paw print, the clippings of the fur. She did not push us into getting anything more then we wanted. The facility was very clean and beautiful. They also provide services to put your beloved pet to sleep there if need be. These were separate rooms in the facility that were very comforting. I never knew such an amazing heartfelt place and people existed like this. I am glad to know now if these services are ever needed I know just where to go. If my family and friends would have known about this facility they would have definitely took their beloved pets here then any other crematory. Our Otis was a family member losing him left a hole in our hearts that will never be replaced but at this time of sorrow it was comforting to know he was well taken care of by Andrea. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience because of her we have our Otis with us until we meet again over the rainbow bridge. I just want to say I cannot recommend this family owned pet crematory enough. Our family would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking care of our OTIS.

On January 3,2016 our beloved Golden Retriever Jake crossed the Rainbow Bridge at home. Being the New Year weekend … Our vet was away and it was a Sunday. With tears and a broken heart, I searched the Internet. I found Friends Forever and while reading about their facilities and their own personal loss… I gave them a call. Andrea answered on this Holiday weekend and within minutes .. We sensed her love and compassion for pets and their families. She explained everything in detail from getting our 85lb. Jake to Friends Forever and what to expect from that moment on. We are so grateful to Andrea Anastasio for her show of love to Jake. Friends Forever is a clean and peaceful memorial send off for your beloved pets. I was given native wild flowers to plant this Spring in memory of Jake too . Amazing heartfelt tribute Andrea Thank You Carmen & Darlene

When our much beloved 17yo miniature pinscher passed away peacefully in my arms at home, I checked online for a pet crematory in NJ. I called three or four places and found that the prices and services offered were all pretty similar. Andrea of Friends Forever had a phone manner that I liked. She was understanding and compassionate, but not overly solicitous or patronizing. Meeting her, I appreciated her careful explanation of the process and my options. She did not at any point push or recommend more than what we wanted.

We opted for the private witnessed cremation the next day. Andrea was very professional and the service was short but respectful. We went back the following week to pick up the ashes, which were nicely boxed. I appreciate very much her efficiency and kindness. Everything happened exactly as she promised, when she promised.

Other places seemed to offer more hand-holding and grief counseling, but I thought her mix of caring and pragmatic was perfect. The whole process felt like a personal service rendered by Andrea, rather than a business. Thank you for your integrity in providing this service well!

The Friends Forever logo is also very cool. I like the rats framing the cat and dog.

Friends Forever Pet Crematory is the most extraordinary facility of its kind. Our beloved Westie Lilly passed away early Saturday morning. We called them, they responded immediately and allowed us to come right to them. When we arrived we were surprised to find what looked like a home. We entered to find the most comforting setting imaginable. They treated us with kindness and with the utmost in professionalism. Our Lilly was in the best possible hands as were we. They lessened the trauma and grief of our experience considerably. We had been through the loss of a pet before and I must tell you that this is the only place to take your beloved pet for its final resting. Thank you so much Andrea for being there for us and for our Lilly.

My experience with Friends Forever was so extraordinary that it prompted me to join Yelp just so I could offer a review. My partner and I were devastated to lose our beloved 13-year-old fur baby. She had been sick a short while, but her passing was far quicker than we could have imagined. We were in shock when we called Andrea and she was amazing from the beginning. The funeral home was as lovely as that for any human – peaceful, respectful, tasteful. Andrea explained everything again as she did on the phone. She offered us additional time to say goodbye to our doggy companion, she gently handled our pup as she was taken, and with respectful reverence gently laid her out. Although she did not have to, Andrea brought back one of the flowers that had blown back out. She placed it in a plastic bag and gave it to us saying it must have been a gift sent back for us. It’s a terrible thing, but if you must say goodbye to your best friend, call Andrea.

On Sunday, during the blizzard of 2016, our beloved Kodi was called to the Rainbow Bridge. Not knowing what to do, I remembered passing Friends Forever Pet Crematory every day on my way to work. I called, expecting to leave a voicemail, but was surprised when the owner answered the phone and from that moment on helped me begin to cope with my loss. She was so sensitive and even gave us suggestions on how to tell our children (one in college and one with developmental disabilities) and our other two dogs. We dropped him off today and from the moment we entered the establishment I knew we had made the right choice. Kodi’s dignity was priority and never once did I feel as if I was being taken advantage of or made to feel ridiculous because I was grieving so much. I would recommend Friends Forever to anyone who loves their fur baby. Thank you Andrea for everything you did to make one of the worst days of my life a little better.

On January 19, 2016, my daughter’s beloved cat Shadow passed away suddenly. We didn’t have much money and called around. When I got to friends forever, Andrea answered my call. She was kind, compassionate, and truly caring. She talked me through the process, answering questions I didn’t even realize I had. We tried to go to her that night but there was a truck accident on RT 287 and we would never have made it on time. We agreed to meet at 9am. Andrea was there ready for us. She expressed sympathy right off the bat and brought us to a sitting room. Andra walked us through everything, giving us plenty of options and showing nothing but empathy for our loss. After we picked everything and paid, she gave us plenty of time to sit with shadow and mourn. She treated our shadow with such care, it brought us to more tears seeing someone treat her with such respect. Andrea gave us the option of being there for the creamation, but I didn’t think my daughter would be able to handle it, so we declined. When it was through, Andrea gave us a beautiful little cedar box with shadows ashes in them, along with her hair and whiskers in a cute little vial and her paw prints on a card for my daughter to always have. before we left, she showed us where she lovingly took care of shadow and hugged my daughter as we left. I don’t want to think about ever having to go through this again, but seeing as I have a dog and turtle at home, one day I will need it. I would 100% go to Andrea and recommend everyone I know and love to go to Andrea. She made a very hard, emotional, terrible thing become a little more tolerable and a whole lot more loving and caring. Thank you so much Andrea.

Very professional and caring with a nice personal touch. Andrea took good care of us from the minute we walked in until we left. The facility is clean and modern, and there is a lovely, peaceful parlor-type room where we were able to spend some final time with our dog. Highly recommend.

The level of service I received at this place is unbelievable! Losing your pet is one of the hardest things ever. Andrea treated me like I was family. My heartache was eased by the kindness and care she showed me. If you ever want the piece of mind know your baby is taken care of at the end choose nowhere else!

At a time of great grief, Friends Forever Pet Crematory was a blessing. They were understanding and comforting. Their establishment is beautiful. I was treated with respect and understanding. I lost two cats within two days. Andrea was kind and went over and above to help me. The level of caring and commitment is outstanding. The presentation is beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about Friends Forever.

Our dear cat, Yankee, who was part of our family life for 13+ years, died unexpectedly 2 weeks after being diagnosed with lymphoma. We were devastated. A cremation service was suggested, which would “return the remains in 5-7 business days”. It sounded like a factory line! Not for our cat! We were lucky to come across Robert and Andrea, who were sympathetic, very professional and helpful, and made us feel special because they treated us and Yankee with dignity and care. They did an individual cremation, gave us 3 little bottles with his hair, 3 small containers with his ashes, and the rest in a nice velvet bag inside a wooden box and a golden plaque with his name and date of birth. All of this within 2 days. They have a well located small funeral home and we brought Yankee to them, although they offer to pick up your pet from wherever in the area. Their funeral home even allows you to invite friends and family to be with you and give closing to the sad event of saying goodbye to your pet before the cremation. You can also put a story, with pictures, for people to read it on their website. We will be doing that soon. I think it will help the children who are very sad with their loss. THANK YOU, Robert and Andrea!!! We will spread the word.
