As a veterinarian for over 30 years, too many times I have had the sad experience of saying goodbye to many of my patients as well as my own personal pets. Having personally dealt with many different pet memorial companies, I was fortunate to meet Ralph Brennan of Forget-Me-Not Pet Crematory a few years ago. I have grown to know Ralph professionally and personally. He is a rare and genuinely good man.
Two days ago I said the hardest goodbye of my life to my beautiful Chocolate Labrador, Annie. Ralph was right there for me and with me at this crucial time. He handled my Annie with the greatest kindness, compassion, sincerity, love and professionalism that I have ever experienced.
There are other very good pet memorial services; I know of none that can come close to Forget-Me-Not. I am unable to recommend anyone other than Forget-Me-Not to my colleagues, friends and patients when they reach that terrible time of saying goodbye.
Thank you Ralph and everyone at Forget-Me-Not for being a savior in our time of greatest need.
Sincerely,
Mr. Lumpy died today. He was found in a dumpster about eight years ago behind the humane society and we took him home and gave him love. Lumpy deserved his name. He was a sweet cat who would lay like a lump in the middle of the floor, or on a stair, and you had to walk over or around him. He was pure black. He was beautiful. He was my shadow. Mr. Lumpy got sick about a year ago and we gave him his medication and were able to keep him happy. We knew our time with him was short but when my husband got up this morning and found Mr. Lumpy unable to walk, we knew that our time with him was nearly gone. We are having Mr. Lumpy cremated, sent back to the earth from where he came. He was an indoor cat, but truly the epitome of an alley cat in habit. I will miss Mr. Lumpy getting underfoot while I cooked, when I stepped out of the shower in the morning, and I will miss Mr. Lumpy taking his position on my pillow after I fell asleep. Good bye, Mr. Lumpy. You were my shadow.

As if it wasn’t hard enough to have to suddenly have to say goodbye to my Pepper-cat, who was taken suddenly due to an intestinal blockage. But then a custody battle erupted with my soon-to-be-ex husband over the cremains of Pepper. Forget-Me-Not Pet Crematory called me right away, seeing through the bluff. The staff have been kind, calm and understanding. They have kept me informed every step of the way and have made a horrible situation a little more bearable.
I thank you from the bottom of my being, and I will recommend this crematorium to anyone I come across who is going through this unhappy process!
On January third of 2013 I had the horrible choice of putting my beloved Zippy(Pittbull/Shar-Pei mix) down. It was the hardest choice to make, she was by my side almost 24/7. It was for the best because of her old age she had trouble getting around, she wanted to do things that her body wouldn’t let her do anymore. I wana thank the staff at Forget Me Not for their quick response to my e-mail, and the excellent job they did. Also I’d like to thank Littleton Animal Hospital for their fourteen years of great vet care and putting up with Zippy. It’s gona be a long while to mend the sadness, she is and always will be missed.
Sincerely,
The Frank Family

I know you are at peace now. Running and having fun. You are missed so much. You were by my side at lonely times, sad times and when I was sick you laid next to me in the bed. You were always there. I miss you with me walking ever day. It’s hard not having you with me but you needed to rest. Your #1 Dog, the best chocolate Lab ever. I’m glad you were mine. You made me feel so safe at night. I’m trying to get use to you not meeting me at the door. You were the best. You please me all the time. My heart aches with out you. You gave me the best love ever. I’ll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge. Till then, love and miss you. Love Mommy
Thank you from the very bottom of my heart for the respect, love and easily detected dedication of the staff at Forget-Me-Not pet crematory. About three weeks ago my family and I put our beautiful cat Buffy to sleep as she had suffered a major stroke and would not be able to recover from the extensive neurological damage. Buffy was a gift when I was 14 years old and has been a part of my life for the past 15 years. As this was my first experience with having a pet in such perilous condition I was overwhelmed with what to do and where to seek assistance and was lucky enough to have a pet facility who takes care of the arrangements. We opted to have Buffy cremated and the phenomenal Bulger E.R. works with the pet crematory to make the process so simple during such a distressing time. My sole responsibility was to call this pet crematory, Forget-Me-Not, to address any specific want for Buffy’s arrangements and to pay the balance which was completed over the phone. I deeply appreciated the variety of available options and extremely reasonable prices of all services and also appreciated being able to handle the necessary details via phone as I live almost an hour away & was already feeling stressed thinking how I could find the time to pick up my cat as well as feelings of anxiety/dread in having to walk into the crematory and request Buffy’s remains. The woman I spoke to was professional and extremely helpful as well as genuinely compassionate with true empathy of such a devastating situation we were facing as pet owners. Buffy passed away on a Wednesday night; her body was picked up from the ER the very next morning and her ashes were returned back to the ER only 4 days after we lost Buffy in the physical sense. Forget-Me-Not placed Buffy’s ashes in a beautiful, simple, cedar urn and provided us with a beautiful poem: The Rainbow Bridge which is a heartfelt version of heaven for all beloved pets to go to where they stay, playing happily until you arrive and can re-assemble the family love and relationship for eternity. I truly feel that this pet crematory and it’s staff went above and beyond in their efforts to provide Buffy, myself and my family the absolute best possible closure in regards to the physical, emotional & mental pain caused by the loss of a pet. Though we continue to grieve the loss of our beautiful and spoiled, “Brat-Cat” Buffy, we were so blessed to have such a wonderful and capable ER team and after-life assistance of arrangements. The apparent love and drive each person puts into their profession provides solace and peace within my heart where there is an empty space previously filled by Buffy.
Thank you.
