When a human family member passes away, we place our trust in licensed funeral directors who adhere to strict codes of ethics, gentle care, and professional standards.
So why should our pets receive anything less?
At Forever Friends Pet Cremations & Farewells, we were founded on a simple belief: every pet deserves a respectful end, and every grieving family deserves complete peace of mind.
What Does "our Standard" Mean for Your Pet?
Reverent Handling from Start to Finish: From the moment we pick up your pet from your home or local vet clinic, they are treated with gentle hands, wrapped comfortably, and spoken to with respect.
100% Guaranteed Individual Cremation: We maintain strict tracking and verification protocols so you can have total confidence that the ashes returned to you belong solely to your beloved companion.
No Unfeeling Couriers or Shipping: Forever Friends operates locally in Whakatāne cared for by people who live in your community.
Thoughtful Touchpoints: We take the time to capture beautiful physical mementos - including detailed paw prints, nose prints, and fur locks - giving you precious touchpoints you'll treasure forever.
