Testimonials

From the minute I spoke to Christine we knew it was the right thing to do. Ben came the following day (New Year’s Eve), put us both at ease and talked us through the procedure and we were even more sure. Christine and Ben were so kind, respectful and professional—they dealt with the situation in a caring manner.

When we received the ashes we had a memorable card with Monty’s footprint which was a lovely and unexpected touch.

From the minute I spoke to Lauren at Final Rest to the moment we said goodbye to our beloved Ted with Rachel’s assistance I felt I had made the right decision and was in safe and capable hands. Rachel made an unbearable event bearable with her compassion and kind nature.

I would not hesitate in recommending Final Rest to anyone thinking of saying goodbye to their pet.

Picking up the telephone to discuss the end of life for a much loved pet was potentially one of the worst things as a ‘grown up’ I had to face yet with the guidance, reassurance and gentle expertise of Lauren and Christine, this process was more manageable and smoother, even comforting, than I had envisaged.

I give full praise for their support and the kind manner of Ben as he visited Branston in the place he wished to finally lie.
The service Final Rest provided was outstanding—personal, professional alongside warmth and compassion.

Myself and my family were in bits. We had waited all day Sunday and had never experienced this kind of emotion, from the second the phone was picked up at Final Rest I felt a lot more relaxed.

Ben turned up on time, he introduced himself to our baby girl, Storm, he made sure that we were well informed every step of the way. He was amazing. Made the whole procedure very respectful and dignified. It was the final peaceful farewell that our baby girl deserved.

Ebony didn’t like going to the vets so we wanted to do this last thing for her so she could pass away at home, in her favourite place where she felt safe. Ben was fantastic. He went through everything with us and explained it really well. Ebony passed away on my lap and it was so peaceful. If anyone is in this situation and is considering home euthanasia for their much loved pet then we highly recommended Final Rest.

Doug was in his favourite spot, sniffing the sea breeze, guarding for pirates, when Ben arrived. After a snack of sardines, and marmite on toast (for Doug, not Ben!), our beloved boy set off on his next big adventure.

We are immensely grateful to Final Rest—from the information on their website, to listening to my anguished call and babbling guilt over condemning our dog to death, to Ben who was gentle, compassionate, and thoughtful throughout. Doug fell asleep one last time in a place he felt content, relaxed, and safe.

We would like to thank Rachel at Final Rest who came out to our Toby as she came out at short notice when our lovely little 19 year old Toby took a turn for the worst. Rachel treated him with dignity, kindness and patience in his final moments, we will always miss him so much as he was such a very gentle special little cat and we can’t believe how much we all miss him.

Thanks again to all at Final Rest for seeing us through this difficult time.

Our much loved cat Coby was almost eighteen years old and suffering with various ailments associated with old age. It was a difficult decision to contact Final Rest but speaking with Lauren made me feel completely reassured that I was doing what was best for Coby. Coby slipped away peacefully in the comfort of his own home being given one final cuddle. Ben was amazing and really made what could have been a stressful and traumatic experience calm and peaceful.

It was the hardest decision I have ever needed to make, but right from the initial painful call, I knew it was exactly what was right for Jessie. I was given an explanation about how the whole situation would happen, with space to question, and when Rachel arrived as planned, the sad parting and putting to sleep of dear Jessie was done with a very special calmness, a dignity for Jessie herself, and understanding of all my tears. Jessie passed away without pain or distress.

As our pets are so precious to us, it is a traumatic experience when we finally have to say goodbye to them. A great help at this time, the lovely team at Final Rest who made such a difference to our last moments with them, at home in their familiar surroundings.
