Testimonials

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.

From the moment I spoke to Lauren to then meeting Ben and Christine, the whole process was personal and heartfelt.

Thank you for treating my handsome George with so much respect and dignity, and thank you for letting me have the time throughout the process to be with him and not feel rushed.

Our beloved Old English Sheepdog, Dylan, sadly couldn’t go on any longer. We had to make that horrible decision so we contacted Final Rest. They were so understanding and caring throughout the whole process, explained everything that was going to happen and gave us all the time and space we needed to say our goodbyes to Dylan.

It’s a decision you never want to make. However, they made it so much easier to bear. Dylan was in his own surroundings and passed peacefully, with dignity.

Thank you for giving us such kind and compassionate service from the first point of contact with you. Ben was so gentle, compassionate and empathetic that it really put our minds at ease to see Poppy pass so peacefully and gave us no small amount of relief during such an emotional experience.
