Whispering Pines Pet Cemetery

There comes a time in our lives, when we must say goodbye to a beloved pet. This is something that should happen hopefully due to old age. In my case however, my faithful calico cat passed away suddenly after eating a can of contaminated pet food at the age of seven. The end for her came suddenly, and with no warning whatsoever, but in reality all tragedies are the same way, especially when it comes to the loss of someone that you love so dearly.
I was such an emotional train wreck the day my cat passed away, and I couldn’t stop crying over the fact she died such a horrible death from being poisoned by bad food that I purchased just two weeks earlier at a local pet store. I really tried to keep it together mentally, and decide what I was going to do with her body, but my mind was filled with anger at the same time over how she died. I had thought about burying her in the backyard at the recommendation of a close friend, but the ground was completely frozen, and I didn’t want her to be cold. I then remembered that my cousin told me about Whispering Pines Pet Cemetery a while back, so I decided to give them a call, and see what they suggested before making any final decisions.
Dee, and her husband Tom manage Whispering Pines, and they are two of the most compassionate people I have ever met, who truly understand what it’s like to loose a close family member like I did. We talked about the various options available, so I decided to have my cat cremated and placed in a really nice urn. This way she can watch the cardinals and robins out the bedroom window who come to visit the bird feeder.
Mind you, there was no high pressure sales tactics used to buy a really expensive urn, which I have heard stories about from some close friends who have been through the same tragedy that I was now experiencing. With the bills from the veterinarian, and the emergency animal hospital, they can really add up in a hurry and place you in the red financially. This is why they recommended waiting for a while before making any final decisions on a really nice permanent urn.
The staff at Whispering Pines made a terrible situation for me much more bearable. I felt completely as ease, knowing that my cat was in good hands. Honestly, I don’t know what I would have done without them. Thank you Dee and Tom for helping through one of the most darkest events of my life.

When one is at an emotionally vulnerable state, such as the loss of a beloved pet, it IS a true blessing to find people that understand, care and do their utmost to help you start grieving. The owners of Whispering Pines are wonderful. Caring, compassionate and understand the loss of a furry member of the family is just as important as losing a human member.
The grounds are lovely, with the field that I saw for burials reminding me of a gorgeous field that I would love to let my dog run and explore in. I had a cremation done, and the owners of Whispering Pines were more than helpful, reminding me to take a small bit of fur, if I wanted. There was no pressure to purchase costly urns, just to make the transition of my little friends body as simple as possible. There are no adequate words to describe the comfort that I felt, continue to feel, for the best possible experience of one of the most dreaded events in life.
Thank you, Whispering Pines. Thank You.
