Heavenly Gates Pet Cremation

"The decision to lay to rest an animal companion of over 16 years is a difficult one. Co-0rdinating the processes involved (vet and cremation)is fraught with stress and questions. A private cremation was very important to me and in my research I discovered Heavenly Gates in Seaford, DE. From my very first call through my myriad of questions and final retrieval of Sasha’s cremains the entire staff of Heavenly Gates was respectful, understanding and very informative regarding the process. My wife and I will be eternally grateful for the care and personal touches provided by Teena and Amy for our fur baby."

"The people at Heavenly Gates were so kind and thoughtful. We were away from home and found them to take care of our baby of 17 years. They took special care of him. They were very sympathetic and understanding regarding our fur baby. They contacted us to again give their condolences and made a tribute online for Maow, that was beautiful. We would recommend them to anyone. Mike and Denise"

"While it is a rather somber topic that no one likes to think about; I cannot recommend this place enough!! In years past, I have used a local funeral home in Salisbury when my pets passed.  Two weeks ago I lost my dog Lexi to cancer and my veterinarian highly recommended I use Heavenly Gates.  I cannot express into words how kind, caring, compassionate Heavenly Gates was.  Celebrating a pets life is truly their passion and priority vs humans.  They laid my dog out in a beautiful viewing room where we could say our final goodbyes, including my other dog. They unexpectedly took beautiful ink paw and nose prints for me.  Clay prints, personalized card, etc.  The urn is absolutely beautiful and personalized.  The cremation is done in a very timely manner, right on site.  Afterwards they even created a beautiful tribute to my dog online. Amy, Andrew, and her staff went above and beyond during this difficult time; and I cannot thank them or recommend them enough! ❤"

"Heavenly Gates was recommended to me by a friend when our 13-year-old schnoodle passed. We were very emotional and in constant tears, so it was such a relief to have someone take care of all the details. They picked up our baby from the vet, took care of her remains, and stayed in constant contact. The memorial items and urn were very beautiful. Anytime I had questions, they were available with patience and kindness. I am so glad that we used their service, because it was a source of comfort during a very difficult time."

"The staff at Heavenly Gates made a very difficult time a lot more bearable. My interactions with Teena were compassionate and professional and she made sure that our boy was memorialized exactly the way we wanted. She constantly kept us informed of the progress which made it much easier for our family. Once we received him back, Amy followed up and made sure we were taken care of. Heavenly Gates worked closely with our vet, Evergreen Veterinary Services, which was also very reassuring."
