Island Memorial

We had a wonderful experience with Island Memorial. Very decent prices in today's world. The MOST Respectful, empathetic, soothing, and personalable staff that ive ever had the pleasure to work with. What they have going on there, they should be very very proud of. My daughter was involved, and they were very kid-friendly, and professional with her. They explained the steps in a kid-friendly way, looked my daughter in the eyes, and even helped her with her kit to get her pets paw print (we couldn't get the package with that included) and made sure she was happy, and has everything she wanted. They even included an extra lil gift for my daughter to remember our animal by when we picked her up. Very heartfelt. Thank you so much to each one of you that helped us during this time.

Our dog, Maple, crossed the rainbow bridge on Monday. Island memorial allowed us to bring her to them for cremation and respected our last goodbye. They held space for us when the world was dark and filled with grief. And it still is. But we have our girl home, and we are thankful for Island Memorials support with that. Their service was fast and professional. We are so grateful. Thank you all. We will surely miss Maple 🩷 she was the best girl.

Saying goodbye to our beloved dog, Poe, was one of the most heartbreaking experiences of our lives, and Island Memorial made the process just a little easier to cope with, if that’s even possible. From start to finish, they showed compassion, understanding, and professionalism that gave us comfort during such a painful time. We said goodbye to Poe on a Friday evening, and one of the things we’re most grateful for is that their service allowed us to keep him with us for a weekend transfer. Having that extra time to say goodbye, as difficult as it was, truly helped us process our grief and gave us a sense of peace. It may sound morbid, but that time mattered deeply and is something we’ll always appreciate. Diana was incredibly kind and patient. She answered all of my many questions with empathy and clarity, never once making me feel rushed or burdensome. That level of compassion is rare and meant the world to us. When we picked up Poe’s ashes just a few days later, we were moved by the beautiful urn they provided. The attention to detail and the care they put into every step of the process showed us that they truly understand how important these moments are to families. Another thing that stands out about Island Memorial is the accessibility of their services. Knowing they are available 24/7 is an immense comfort, because we don’t get to choose when we have to say goodbye, and having a compassionate team available at any hour makes an unbearable moment a little less overwhelming. We are so thankful to Island Memorial for helping us through such a heartbreaking experience. Their compassion, professionalism, and dedication to honoring our beloved animals and their families is something we will never forget.

Island Memorial took care of our precious family cat who passed recently. Diana and Steve were so warm, compassionate, professional and accommodating. I also highly recommend them to anyone (especially in Vermont) who is considering having their vet/animal hospital send their pet for cremation services. Surprisingly they are usually out of state, have to be shipped and returned, waiting weeks- for the same price as having a personal, and much more intimate experience with a local business at such a vulnerable time. Thank you for everything you did for us.

My vet sent my little Maltese to Island Memorial after she passed. When I picked up her remains, she was in a beautiful carved wooden box with a clay medallion of her paw print. They were in a lovely tulle bag. Such a thoughtful and elegant presentation.
