Testimonials

Berman Gomez has been my furry sidekick for nearly 14 years. From my first contact with Christine at Final Rest, I was treated with compassion and my handsome boy as more than just a pet. Rachel the vet came to my house and made a very sad day much easier.

Everything was done at my pace and I got to say a proper goodbye as he fell asleep on my bed. It was peaceful and respectful. I can’t begin to thank you enough.

We had to make the heartbreaking decision to put our young dog, Rufus, to sleep.

Cat was so kind & gentle with us and with him. Rufus died very peacefully in the garden with the sun on his back, being cuddled by us. At this very sad time it is a huge comfort to know that his final moments were completely stress and pain-free. I can’t thank you enough for helping our beloved boy to have a peaceful end.

Losing our beloved Billy was the most heart-breaking and difficult time we have ever faced. Our wonderful boy left this world in the best way possible, thanks to Rachel taking care of things so beautifully with patience & compassion. Billy slipped away peacefully, with no fear or pain, with everything familiar around him.

On our darkest day, Rachel brought us a ray of light and has left us with the consolation of knowing that Billy’s final morning was calm and tranquil and he felt safe.

With great sadness, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our beautiful old friend Kody. We didn’t want his final moments to be in pain or involve a visit to the vets.

He passed away peacefully, on a sunny day, under the shade of an apple tree in the garden, held by the two humans who love him dearly. You were so kind and gentle with Kody and gave us the time we needed to say goodbye to our beautiful friend.

We had to make quite possibly the most heartbreaking and hardest decision to let our beloved old girl Doris slip away peacefully. Christine and Ben were compassionate and understanding. They listened and ensured all our needs and wishes were met to allow Doris to fall asleep peacefully at home.

Our final moments with Doris were dignified and peaceful as Ben gave us plenty of time to stroke Doris and hold her paw until her last breath. What was a very distressing time, became a beautiful and loving goodbye for our old girl.

Compared to our many past experiences of saying goodbye to our dearest friends, Final Rest has to be by far the best. Chance was at home in her garden with the sun on her back, her favourite place with her favourite people. It just felt so right and for us the space, tranquility and peace for all of us was second-to-none.

Thank you so much for the help, support and guidance.

Heartfelt thanks to Ben of Final Rest who could help our beloved border collie in her time of need. Has fantastic palliative care knowledge and advice.

Penny passed peacefully in her own home and went for cremation tucked up in a basket with her ball and toys. Would have no hesitation in recommending. Thank you.

Thank you so very much for being there for myself, my partner, and Inca on the 9th of August. We couldn’t have wished for a better way for Inca’s final day to happen.

Ben, you are the most lovely, calming and considerate man, and when Inca came over to sniff you we knew it was the right time. I cannot say enough praise that would give you justice. With all our hearts we thank you.

Ben was so calming, professional (my son referred to him as the nicest man he ever met!) and put us all at ease, but most importantly, put Tilly at ease. He took his time and there was not one moment I felt worried or unsure. My partner, my son and myself could not get over how the saddest day could be made quite beautiful with the peaceful passing that, after 14 years of bringing so many people joy, Tilly completely deserved.

I cannot express how thankful and grateful I am to you both. Ben was absolutely amazing with us. He showed such kindness and compassion at such a difficult time.

Allowing him to choose where to pass, in his favourite spot in the garden, was just perfect. It could not have been a better ending. You both made one of the most difficult decisions and days of my life so much easier to bear.
