Oakcrest provided an excellent service. They handled my rabbit, Rita, and myself with so much care and consideration. The fact that they were able to cremate her and return her to me the same day was such a comfort. I highly recommend them. Thank you, Oakcrest for the care you gave us that day.

Phil and his team were wonderful. I’m always so thankful for people who take pride in their role, he very much understands the importance of love & respect in the after care of your pet. Our Alpha was 150lbs and we put him to rest at our home. Phil picked him up and we had him returned to us the same day. We opted for the cremation to ensure it would be just our dogs ashes that were returned to us and they were kind enough to give us a certificate with proof. No one wants to drag this process out so they were able to give us a full turn around in less than 5 hours. Thank you for helping us through this day.

I bought a urn for my dog. I was told I would have it on Friday. Well that didn't happen, then I was told on Monday. Unfortunately that didn't happen either. I had my family in and my grandchildren since it was the first pet they lost. They had to go home. They live far away. I finally got it on Tuesday. Very unhappy about it. My grandchildren are returning soon and are disappointed that they weren't here. They were not very compassionate about it and said it was the engravers fault.

Philip Donatelli at Oak Crest was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I lost my sweet boy of 15 years in May and stumbled across Oak Crest on Google and I am so thankful that I did. Philip stayed open late to accommodate us since we were not in the area. They handled my Chico with care and had the services finished in just over an hour. While we waited, we were able to go to dinner and go back when we were finished to pick up his ashes and urn. Philip helped console us and was so compassionate & kind which was exactly what we needed that day. We ended up talking for hours! I would highly recommend Oak Crest to anyone looking for pet cremation services. Very affordable prices & extremely helpful with urn selection. My favorite part of the experience was that Philip helped me select an urn that would fit all of my dogs together when the time comes. Thank you Oak Crest from the bottom of our hearts!

We have made multiple visits over the last several years. Every visit has been all you could hope for during a difficult time. Our pets are small, and the process does not take long, maybe an hour. We call ahead, schedule a time, and an hour or so after arriving, we are on our way back home, with the ashes in the urn.

Oak Crest Cremation was absolutely wonderful. When my husband and I arrived with our angel Monty, Phillip came out to greet us and help us with our angel. He treat us and Monty with such respect and honor. The cremation took about a hour and we were able to take Monty back home the same day. Phillip explained everything in great detail with what will happen and had simple urns on-site. It makes you feel at ease knowing your animal is taken care of with such respect. Thank you Phillip.

Obviously, Oak Crest isn't a place you want to have to go to. But for the situation we were in, this facility really was wonderful. The gentleman, Philip, who helped us take care of my cat, was very kind, compassionate, and gentle. He was quick to preface and quick to agree that an urn wasn't at all necessary, especially since we're scattering her ashes (a sales pitch I was definitely afraid of going into the conversation, but he handled it really well). The service itself was a shockingly good value (which feels weird to say!), as compared to the last time I had to make end-of-life plans through my vet and a third party. Comparatively affordable, and her remains were ready within a few hours after I dropped her off, as opposed to the few weeks I'd experienced before. It's also very comforting to know that they *only* do single-service cremation, so I felt a lot more confident that it was definitely her ashes I was getting back. So yeah, I'd hardly be thrilled to have to be a return customer. But, you know, mortality... I'll definitely remember Oak Crest for the future.

I lost my Beloved Pit Bull Rocky after 11yrs to cancer. Phil was the most compassionate and understanding Person I ever met! I had just put my dog through surgery due to his illness and he died like two months before Christmas! I explained to Phil that money was tight and he let me do installments! I was so Grateful to him because I didn’t have the money up front! He truly Blessed me and my Family because Rocky Came Home for Christmas! I am ever so Thankful to Phil and I Highly Highly recommend Oak Crest with Mr Phil Donatelli!!!!

Our sweet Boxer Rambo past over the weekend. Unfortunately for us, our vet was closed but I was given advice to take him to a crematory. I called Oak Crest, who at the time was closing sooner than I could get there. The Gentleman on the phone was sincere & understanding stating that he would stay until I got there, which I thought was very kind. He apologized for not being able to have our dog ready until the following Monday, which I thought was another un-necessary gesture, as I would never have expected them to have him ready so quickly. In a difficult & sad time for my family & I, this organization was very helpful & extremely kind. Would recommend them to everyone.

Phil put us at ease and despite the fact that we had come at the end of his working day, he still managed to get his ashes back to us the same day(working late for us). It made me feel SO much better to return home with the ashes the same day. This process is so hard, but oak crest and Phil made the difficult process easier knowing we didn’t have to wait. Phil has a very kind demeanor. He let us know he would take care of everything, and he did! Thank you, Phil.

My best bud's passing broke me. Phillip went above and beyond what I expected and got my buddy back to me about 24 hours after having to let him rest. Thank you, Phillip.

Amazing service. Brought my mother's dog to them at 915 am and had him back by 315. They were super respectful and the prices were incredibly fair. Single cremation only

Very friendly and courteous staff. They reassured me through the process. Even though it was a little ferret they made me feel like she was the most important thing they had going on that day. Philip Donatelli was comforting as we talked the business side, and made me feel that Serenity was in good hands.

It’s such a sad time for a pet owner and the Oakcrest staff were so accommodating and supportive through the process. I had my sweet little cats ashes back in record time. Thank you for all your help and compassion.

Phil was gentle and caring. Lost our little girl kitty of 14 years and he was so nice. Even came out to meet us at the car. Phil took additional steps to take care of our loved one and we could not appreciate it more on such a sad day.

We drove and hour and a half based on the positive reviews. Phillip was professional and kind, we never felt rushed or pressured. The price was fair and we felt comfortable entrusting our baby's final journey with Oak Crest. We were able to pick our girl up 2 hours later and take her home, in the event we need the service in the future we will return to Oak Crest. It was the best decision we never wanted to make.

I lost my cat unexpectedly at 3 years old. Oak Crest popped up in my search results and I was impressed to see nothing but 5 star reviews. I called and spoke with Philip who gave me pricing and info. I took her in the next day. He was very friendly, kind and compassionate. They only do private cremations here (your​ pet is cremated individually and remains are not mixed with others). They offered a variety of beautiful urns and boxes. They are very reasonably priced as well. I had a very good experience here and would recommend Oak Crest for anyone considering cremation for a pet.

So I am heading here tomorrow for my fourth time. They are absolutely wonderful, amazing and caring people. I would give them 100 stars If I could. Thank you for doing a great job.

Words can not express my gratitude for this business. I lost my sweet baby angel guinea pig last night. This place goes above and beyond for you. They're sympathetic, kind, and help you through what we all know is one of the hardest things …
