What our clients say about us

Ninja

Ninja was very poorly from a long battle with cancer. He was my big strong beautiful boy and he passed peacefully at home. He felt safe, comfortable and warm and it was the best way for him to go. Ben helped us again as he had with our other cat, with great kindness and compassion, and I couldn't have asked for more in the situation.

Felix

Final Rest answered the call I didn’t want to have to make and were kind, calm and made the arrangements as easy as possible. Ben came to our home and made a very difficult time as easy as he possibly could. He answered our questions, gave us all the time we needed, and was kind, compassionate and considerate. Ben was gentle and thoughtful in ensuring Felix had no suffering. Our lovely boy was put in a bed with a soft blanket to go to his rest.

Trudy,

Aston

Everyone I spoke to were extremely helpful, supportive and compassionate when I contacted them about saying goodbye to our Aston.

Ben was kind and understanding. He reassured us we were making the right decision and explained what would happen. We were not rushed. We couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful passing for our beautiful boy. He went to sleep in his own home with those who loved him and whom he loved by his side.

Tasmin

I would like to say a huge thank you to Ben for his help and support during this hardest of times. Saying goodbye to my best friend Tasmin was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do, but his calm and understanding manner helped me through. Her final day was made immeasurably better by being at home and the whole process was calm and peaceful.

Paul,

Jess

Rachel was gentle, kind and compassionate to all of us and gave us time to come to terms with the situation. She took time to explain everything and answered our concerns and reassured us it was the right time. There was no urgency and we were given the time to process everything. We could not have wished for a more respectful dignified ending for Jess, to go into a peaceful sleep at home, who provided her family with unconditional love for all of her beautiful life.

Frankie

We had to make the tough decision to put our lovely Frankie to sleep. I honestly can’t thank you and Rachel enough, from the moment we called you to the day it happened you made us feel so reassured. Rachel thank you again so much.

Archie

Final Rest has allowed to me have my precious Archie fall asleep peacefully at home.

Ben was amazing and I cannot express my thanks to him enough. He helped reassure myself and my boys it was Archie’s time. He provided comfort to my boys who were worried about the whole experience and when he left we felt he was being taken away in good hands. He looked so cosy in the little bed he left with. He looked like the old Archie fast asleep.

Libby

Rachel came to see our dear Libby, a working cocker spaniel, who was nearly fourteen years old. Rachel was so gentle, kind and compassionate to us all. She spent time talking to us and explaining everything. We could not have asked for Libby to go into a more peaceful sleep at home in her favourite seat, with us all with her.

We thank Final Rest from the first phone call with Christine, to the end with Rachel. They really looked after us.

Jane,

Poppy

Recently, my beautiful 15 year old dog, Poppy, was diagnosed with acute kidney failure. The shock was horrendous as there were no obvious symptoms. We had to make the difficult decision to let her go, but we wanted it to be in the comfort of her own home. Ben came to help Poppy over the Rainbow Bridge. He was kind, compassionate, patient, and provided comfort to us all at a very difficult time. For Poppy, it was a very peaceful passing.

Kim,
A black-and-white Staffordshire Bull Terrier lying in a prone position on grass, with a chewed-up tennis ball between his front legs
Boss

After fifteen years of love and companionship our beloved Bossy had to leave us. His departure was exactly what we hoped, in his own bed with us stroking him and talking to him calmly. Ben was like a doggie angel and made us feel that this was the kindest way to end his suffering. The individual cremation is a great comfort and he was returned with a treasured paw print. With grateful thanks from us and Boss.
