Absent Friends

What a beautiful send off for my little Yorkshire Terrier, Shrimpy. He was my best friend, my life and I feel lost without him. I had him cremated and now have him home with me again. Thank u Absent Friends for making this awful time more bearable.

I bring my beautiful Lilly to "Absent Friend" after what I was looking for friendly, kind and understanding, respectful service ... It's a very well family run business and you treated like a friend not customer. Thank you so much for Lilly's final peaceful journey. Also - next day my girl was already home 🐾🌈💔

Thank you so much for making a very tough time easier for me after losing my old labradoodle to cancer. Your thoughtful send off and personal service meant a great deal. Absent Friends also took wonderful care of our other labradoodle four years ago, and we highly recommend them to anyone facing the sad reality of losing a beloved pet. To make things even more special, due to my work commitments, they kindly hand-delivered my dog’s ashes to us last night — such a thoughtful gesture. Thank you, Sam

After he gave me the prices, I said I needed to speak to my partner before deciding,
