Testimonials

After a short illness we have had to say goodbye to Chase The Dog who has owned us for the last 14 years. Having Christine and Ben’s support has made the situation just bearable.

When Ben arrived he demonstrated such empathy and care for both us and Chase The Dog it felt like he was grieving with us. Empathy and sympathy can’t be taught you either have it or not. Ben and Christine you exemplify this. Thank you for being there, you should never underestimate the difference you make!

Christine answered the call and was calming, compassionate and knowledgeable. She fully understood that we were struggling with the decision of what was best for Candy. Rachel arrived and immediately put us at ease. She explained everything she was about to do. Candy was allowed to slip into a deep sleep whilst licking primula off her spoon, receiving lots of love and kisses.

Christine and Rachel showed empathy and understanding when it was needed most and so much thought was given to every small detail

While I had read the reviews before making the decision to go with Final Rest, I was not prepared for the level of kindness, care and consideration which was given to both Beau and myself.

Rachel treated Beau so gently and kindly—taking as long as it needed—such that he drifted away beside me without feeling a thing. Every aspect of her service was perfect and she made one of the worst days I have ever experienced into something beautiful which gave me the closure that I needed on his passing.

Thank you so much Final Rest for everything! From that dreaded call to you, to Ben coming and putting our beloved Eddie into his forever sleep. We are so grateful for all you did.

Please look no further if you are considering this service for your pet. Rest assured they will give your pet the calm and respectful passing they deserve.

From the moment I spoke to the team on the phone, I knew I couldn’t have placed my Lola girl into better hands. We will be forever grateful at the kindness and empathy shown, and the love you showed our girl.

From her wagging her tail coming straight to you for a cuddle when you arrived, to you stroking her back paw as she drifted away. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. It meant so much to us.

Saying goodbye to Clarissa was extremely difficult for us. Rachel was wonderful, just so kind, we could not have asked for anything more.

Thank you so much for making our parting from Benji so calm and dignified. Ben was marvellous and did not hurry us. Benji was very calm and just slipped away. We have now got him back home and when Philip is ready we will scatter his ashes under the cherry tree in the garden he played in for 15 years.

Again very many thanks for making a very sad day bearable.

From the first terrifying phone call, Christine listened, instantly putting me at ease, reassuring me that I was doing the best thing for Phoebe, even though it was obviously so painful for us.

Ben was calm, kind, caring and patient. Phoebe was so relaxed on my lap on her favourite sofa. She passed away licking unlimited spoons of peanut butter ice cream, while we laughed at the mess she was making in her beard. Who could ask for a more perfect way to leave this life!?

I literally could not recommend Final Rest more highly. Thank you so much Christine and Ben for all that you do.

I cannot thank this marvelous team enough. From the moment I telephoned incoherently asking for help through my tears, to collecting our much loved Spencer’s ashes, the attention to detail was first class.

It was so important to us Spencer had a gentle and calm end to his life and Rachel worked quietly and respectfully around our family of four, letting us know what would happen at every stage and giving us all space and time to say our goodbyes.

I rang Final Rest and spoke to Lauren who was supportive and understanding.

The vet, Ben, was patient, kind and caring. He let us know what he would be doing and gave us time to say goodbye. He made a traumatic experience bearable. My other cat was present watching his brother move on to his next journey.

A horrible decision made so much better being able to put him to sleep in the comfort of his own home on his favourite cushion with me reassuring him everything would be ok.
