MOORCROFT

We feel so fortunate to have found the services of Gateway as a fitting tribute to our beloved dog Bandit. Unable to have children, our pets fill that void and we give the best we can and they give so much back in return. Gateway was very professional and understanding through our difficult time and we are more than satisfied with their services. We cannot replace our Bandit, but Gateway has enabled us to bring him back home in a beautiful urn and helped us to bring closure to the loss of a loved one. Thank You Gateway for all you have done for us. Jim & Laurie

Sandy Jackson

On February 24th we lost our boxer/lab, Jack, 12 years old and on March 6th, 10 days later, we lost our apricot poodle, Mindy. We are heartbroken and sad but happy to know they are now together. Both Jack and Mindy were cremated and their boxes will be with us forever, as well as all the happy memories. Sadly missed by all who loved them.

Kirk Briscoe

I have used Gateway for Gomer(2000) and then Mindy (2005)and most recently I lost my beloved Sinasha(2009) and 10 days later Pookie(2009). The staff at Gateway went out of their way to make very tragic events in my life a little easier to deal with and were very compassionate and dignified in their treatment not only of my friends but also of my wishes. A most heartfelt THANK YOU!!

Laura Taverner

When I had to say a `too soon` goodbye to my beloved cat `Schat` two weeks ago it was overwhelming and devastating to me. I made a very last minute decision to have her cremated and my Veterinarian told me that they would take care of the arrangements for me so I had no idea of what to expect. How impressed I was today when I returned to my Vet to collect her cremains and opened a small box to see her little paw print preserved for me. Although it brought a fresh round of tears, my heart was so touched to know that you took the time to immortalize her for me. I can`t thank you enough for the wonderful service you provide at a time of distress in peoples` lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. (Farewell my little Schatje, ik hou van je. xoxo) Laura Taverner Port Perry, ON

Paulina Kabourek

I want to thank Gateway for the wonderful service they provide for our loving pets. I also want to thank Mark Hummel for his kindness and caring during visitation and cremation of my beloved cat Griffin. The service gave me the closure and peace of mind I needed to know that my pet was in good hands and in a better place now after his short lived illness. I could not have made a better choice than Gateway and had a better person than Mark to handle it. Thank you.

Kathy gartshore

Bambino Family

We lost Tori our Black Lab suddenly just this past July (2009) at the young age of eight years old. Tori was not just a dog, she was a forever friend and member of our family. It was always reassuring to have her in our yard watching while our young boys played. Tori’s ashes are now buried under a tree in our yard with a monumental stone honouring a wonderful soul – Thanks to Gateway she will always be with us watching over. Tori will be sadly missed by everyone who was lucky enough to have known her. Thank you Gateway for allowing us to bring our beloved Tori home. The paw print you included was a wonderful surprise and very much appreciated, and loved by all. God Bless, and Thank you. Joe, Michelle, Sammy & Johnny Bambino London, Ontario

The Pace-Tonna Family

Colleen

I would like to sincerely thank Mark and the entire staff at Gateway! We trusted Gateway with our beloved ♥Yukon♥ and they were very professional, caring and sympathetic. I truly have the peace of mind that they treated ♥Yukon♥ as their very own. Having the opportunity for a last viewing was priceless and comforting. From the bottom of my heart thank you so very much for making the entire experience a little easier.

Joan E. Crosbie

On November 5th, 2009, I lost my dear companion of 12½ years. Mollie, my beloved Staffordshire Bull Terrier, was a loving friend and joyful soul and her passing has been very difficult for me. I did not know what to expect with her cremation, but I knew that I wanted her home with me. After picking up her remains last week, I cannot say how pleased I was- the tasteful presentation box, urn and pawprint were all things that I never expected. Thank you for treating us both with dignity and helping to make this difficult time a little easier for me. \\\"Love you forever, Molls!\\\"

After 14 1/2 years we had to say a final goodbye to our beloved Patches on November 14/09. For some unknown reason Patches touched our hearts & others more than any other dog we had. Having your ashes & pawprint bring some sort of company. Thankyou Gateway for being there at one of the most difficult times in our lives. Tony & Judy

Lorrie

I have never been so impressed with they way gateway has respected my beautiful Cat Rocky he was my baby cat since I raised him 3 1/2 years ago, unfortuntaly we lost his due to a sickness and gateway has provided that comfort with respect, dignity, and appreciation. Thank you so much to the people at Gateway.

Roseanne

I would like to thank each and everyone of you, who had participated in the cremation of my beloved buffy, this time of the year was her favorite, and because of you and your staff i have her back with her family , the urn is beautiful, merry christmas and God Bless, donation to follow.

Austin

The passing of my dog Austin came as a shock, although I knew in my heart this day would come I didn\\\'t know that it would be so soon. He was the best dog ever. He was so proud and so loyal and so loving and he knew that we loved him from the moment I rescued him as a puppy till his dying day. On that day I was told that he would be sent to Gateway and I had visions in my head of his lifeless body being disposed of and it was very unsettling. I went online and did a search and came across the wonderful website and I knew within seconds that this was the perfect place for our dog Austin to be cremated. He was returned to me only yesterday with a little note and in a beautiful box that was so lovingly packaged. I thank you for the care that went into this presentation and the care that you gave to my baby Austin. much love xo K.Dahlke and her boys

We would like to thank Gateway as well as the Doctors and staff of Hillcrest Animal Hospital for their kindness and care of our beloved little boy, Jody. You were able to give us closure and the peace of mind we needed to know that our boy was in such good hands and in in a better place after his short lived illness. Thanks to Gateway for allowing us to bring Jody home. We know that he will always be watching over us and he will remain forever in our hearts. See Memorials in the bridge

Kim and John Crusz

John and I would like to thank Willowdale Animal Hospital for taking care of our little girl prior to her passing and for also recommending Gateway Pet Memorial Services for their care of our little one during her passing. We would especially like to thank Mark Hillborn for his caring attitude in allowing me to take the time to say `goodbye` to our girl, for treating both myself and my little one with dignity and respect and for letting me participate in her cremation (this gave me some closure and reassurance when I was bringing my little girl home with me. My husband and I will never forget our little `Ladybug`. We think about her every day and remember the unconditional love she gave us. We`re lucky to have her urn with her ashes on our dresser and her paw mark, in clay, in a frame beside her urn. This also allows us to remember how fortunate we were to have her for the time we did.

Hilary Meggison and Doug Brennan

Our dear old dog Zoe passed away peacefully at home on February 4, 2010.We were frantic to find a place that would treat her respectfully and bring her remains home safely to us.Our friend recommended Gateway. I cannot say enough good things about the respectful way Zoe\'s remains were treated, and the kind and sympathetic manner in which Glen looked after us.Thanks a million, Gateway! Rest in Peace, Little ZoZo, our dog angel..

Robin Kinsley

It has been almost 2 weeks ( Wednesday January 27th, 2010) since I have lost my beautiful cat Clyde. She was diagnosed with kidney failure and was in the final stages. She had been my \"Clydy Girl\" for almost 16 years and her sister Bonnie cries for her every night. I want to thank Dr. Campbell for being the wonderful and loving vet he has always been and for giving me the information for the option for cremation through Gateway. I really did not know to much about Gateway since Dr. Campbell had made these arrangements, but when I picked her up last Monday and I saw where she was cremated I had to go onto the website to see what they were all about. Although I was not with her @ Gateway, reading the other testimonials from those who have lost their beloved family and friends, my heart is comforted. I thank you for doing what you do and giving us all the options to forever remember and to move forward. We love you Clyde and miss you with all our hearts, we forever stare at your picture and kiss your urn every night. Mommy, Jason, Bip and Ethan. Also missing you, Bonnie and Sharkey. XOXO

Suzi sarigiannis

I would like to sincerely thank Gateway for their services. Had they not been available I am not sure what I would have done with my beloved \\\"One eyed Joe\\\".For you see it was in the winter that Joe passed,and your services made his return to me possible.Thank-you so very much.

Rachel and Gord

We would like to thank Gateway and Dr. Helen Douglas of Valley Vet for their kindness and care of our beloved Mariah. This is our second dog that Gateway has cremated and we were very satisfied with both. The paw print I received with Mariah will be cheried forever. Mariah was my girl, she was with me all the time, being a diabetic, she seemed to know when my blood sugar would drop to low and would either wake me up, or stop me from going outside or doing things. She took care of me and I took care of her until her final journey home. Mariah, Rachel misses you a lot, you were my angel on earth and now you are one in heaven. Remember the last movie we watched together was All Dogs go to Heaven and I`m sure you are waiting for me at the gate. Love you always and like I told you when you were going to sleep for the last time, say hello to Shebah, Tiger, and Keyla. Missing you every day. Thank you Gateway because of you I can see my little girl everytime I sit at my computer. THANK YOU

Izabell Drimba

I would like to express my gratitude to Gateway, Mark and, in particular, Steven, for the gentle, compassionate and professional service we received when our beloved friend and family member of 14 years, Fancsi, was cremated at their Toronto site. Rest in peace dear Fancsi, you are in our thoughts every day, we will always remember you until we meet again! Izabell Drimba

John & Marlene

Thank you Gateway, for providing this service, and Huntington Animal Hospital, for their care of our beloved cats through the years. Bennie & Bonnie deserved the very best.

Brandon & Michelle Ingram

We had Conan out Lab cremated and we know have him in a special urn on a special shelf. It feels so good knowing that he is here with us, and not just buried. Not knocking the burial service, it just wasn`t for us. Bumble Bee our Yorkie just passed away and we are going to do something along the same lines. Having her cremated, a special urn used for her ashes and placing her on another shelf. It makes us feel like they are still with us. Ever closer. Thank you Gateway...

Michelle & Bob

Our cat Barney was the love of our life. He always wanted to be picked up, cuddled, kissed & eat treats with his sister, Dharma. When we set eyes on him at the SPCA, we just knew he was our baby. And boy were we right! He will always have a special place in our hearts & our love for him will never wain. Rest in peace ``Barney Boodle Dempsey`` and we will think of you everyday that passes. It`s only been 1 day but we miss you so much it hurts our hearts. Your sister Dharma says I love you & let`s get some treats !!! Love Mommy & Daddy Dempsey xoxoxoxo and your loving sister, ``Dharma Doodle Dempsey`` meow, meow xoxo

Cinderella\'s family

Cinderella, Having to say goodbye to our faithful and sweet miniature shnauzer Cinderella, was very painful. She was a part of our lives for 14 years and she got us all through many sad and difficult times, always with a nudge or a lick on the cheek. We have wonderful memories of her and take solice in knowing she is at peace.She was too loyal and caring of a friend to have her suffer any longer. When we picked up her remains up they were in a beautiful wooden box and the paw print was beautifully made. The heartfelt card brought tears to our eyes as well, but very comforting. Thank you for making such a difficult decision easier.She will be in our hearts forever.

Silian

I`m so happy to be able to visit the cremation process of CLWM, my dearest leopard gecko who was 16, and stayed with me for 8 years. Now he is resting peacefully inside his little beautiful urn, sitting beside my bed for the rest of my life. Thank you very much for everything!

Adrienne & John Nunn

Our best friend Katie was taken from us suddenly on August 4 2010. When the vet told us we could have her cremated I didn`t know what to expect, but then one week later we received her back. When we opened the box and found her paw print in with her cedar box the tears were endless, thankyou for taking such good care of her and bringing her back to us. Thank you again so much.

Laurie

Gateway Pet Memorials August 18, 2010 I need to convey my respect and appreciation to your staff and company, for the love and respect you showed toward my furry friend “TYSON”. She was leaving our world after a valiant fight. My kitty was able to pass in comfort and dignity, thanks to “Brooklin Veterinary Hospital” and “Gateway Pet Memorials”. Not only did you provide an amazing service to my kitty, but, you also provided comfort to me and my deceased daughter, Christine. You unknowingly helped me fulfill Christine’s last wish, “ To give her kittens (2) a good life, and bury them beside her”. Christine was convinced that she would greet “ALL” the animals that passed on, giving them a little scratch behind their ear, and providing them with a “cookie”, as she showed them to their new home, in heaven. I would highly recommend both “Brooklin Veterinary Hospital” and “Gateway Pet Memorials“, to assist in the final wishes of all animal lovers. Thank-you from the bottom of my/our hearts. Laurie Ouderkirk

Barb Sheppard

Thank you for your kindness with the loss of our beloved TC. I was too overcome to speak on the phone when I got the call that TC was at Gateway (from OVC), and was told `that`s okay - take your time, we will take good care of him until you are ready`. You have no idea how much that meant, even though he had passed, it was important to me to know that he was still in good hands, until he was back home with his family. Gateway also took care of our beautiful Golden Retriever`s private cremation two years ago, with compassion and professionalism. Your website is a wonderful place for grieving pet owners to share their loss with others. Thank you so much.

Cathy Hutchison

I would like to thank Gateway for the beautiful presentation of my beloved pet cats Muffin (15 years old) June 23, 2010 and Dutchess (20 years old) October 13, 2010. The beautiful blue box, the shreddd navy blue tissue paper, the certificate of cremation. The cedar urns were gorgeous and I love the inscription. Their \"little paw prints\" were a unique touch. I shed tears and I still do but I love having them both with me. Now I can always hold them near and dear to me thanks to your wonderful service. We still have our \"Bart\" who is also 20 years old and we will use your services again when the time comes. Thanks to our great vets Dr. John Birch and Dr. Paul Donevan at Whites Road Veterinary Clinic and Highway 2 Veterinary Clinic in Pickering and Ajax. They made all the arrangements. I am so glad you decided to provide this wonderful service to people like myself who lave and cherish their \"Furry Gifts from God\" and want a lasting memory of them be it cremation or burial. Thank you so much. Cathy Hutchison

Gerry Byrne

On December 27th 2010 our hearts were broken with the passing of our Beloved schnauzer Quincey. He was a faithful friend and companion for 10 years. As a funeral director for over 35 years, I knew the importance for a proper memorialization. I was truly impressed with the services of gateway, and glad we were given the option we chose. Quincey is at home with his loving family now. Thank you for the fine details, the paw print, satin pouch for his cremains. Quincey deserved nothing less. Lucy, Gerry and Greg Byrne

Baxter my cat was put down in Aug, I have to say it was probably the most hardest thing I`ve ever had to do,he was different from the rest, when he went outside he came back to his name,he got along great with the other cat in fact they were more like brothers.I remember when he would come and wake up everyone in the morning,he was the sweetest cat ever he was there for anyone at anytime.Till this day I miss him more then words can explain. I`m not sure where he is at right now,cause I wasn`t able to take the good byes so I wasn`t with him with his last breath,I regret that everyday,I wish I knew where they took him so I could go there, but one day I will know. But till then I love you Baxter in my heart forever. Your best friend

Cheryl Lunan

My husband and I became a`legal guardian` to our friends` dog, Ashley. We had the priviledge of having Ashley in our home for just over a year. In that short amount of time Ashley became a very big part of our family. She became best friends with our dog Harley. We soon began to feel like she was ours! Unfortunately she was taken away from ``us`` at only 2 1/2 years old.She will be sadly missed by us, her sister Bowie, and her best friend Harley. We want to thank Gateway for this opportunity to keep the life of Ashley going forward.

Larry & Lorrie Blanchard

We have a number of our pets cremated over the last 20 years by Gateway and each and every time it has been diffucult to loose them.Receiving their ashes helped us to deal with the loss since we felt at least part of them was still with us. We recently lost our Cairn Chloe to liver failure at the age of 7 which was particularily difficult. Expecting to receive her ashes to start the healing process was greatly anticipated. To our surprise along with the ashes we received a cast paw print of Chloe which greatly comforted us and gave us a greater sense of her now being around us always. We intend to have the casting put into a shadow box for display. Thank you very much Gateway for this brilliant and unexpected symbol of our loved Chloe.

Janet McCarthy

Losing a pet is like losing a child. Nothing at all, can bring a loved one back, but Gateway, makes the entire ordeal, a little bit easier to accept. Thank you for the lovely memorial of my dear Colby. Your service is truly a blessing.

My dog passed away March 22nd 2011 he was my best friend he loved his car rides and going for long walks. He was always there to greet me at the door was always at my side. Since being sick all I could do was to comfort him and love him in every way. My heart aches for him I miss him so much. Thank u Gate Way for the beautiful box and the paw print. When he finally came home to me I felt a bit better. Every time I go into the living room there he is, I can c him every day. I love you Max good bye my beloved dog love you always.

Casey

We lost our bichon exactly 1 week ago on March 30, 2011.Casey was such a big part of our family for 13 years...Unfortunately she left us quite suddenly and the tears just haven\'t stopped...Casey was the sweetest, cutest, most wonderful dog from the moment we brought her home. We have just picked her ashes up today and the urn is beautiful, along with the heart felt card and the print of her paw. It certainly brought on another bout of tears, but I was to feel a sense of closeness to her. I was a bit skeptical at first about this whole process, but really what is better than having her here with us at home on her special shelf in the living room where we spent endless hours together with her. This is where she loved to be!I am so grateful our vet took care of this for us in such a time of sadness. You are always in our hearts Casey...xoxoxo Thanks so much Gateway you have provided a wonderful service!

Saying goodbye to our beloved girl, Dharma, wasn`t easy and came as a shock to both of us. It`s only been about 3 months since we lost your brother, Barney, and we sure were not ready to let you go so soon. You were such a funny girl, always wanting more treats. You let us know what you wanted by all of your different sqeeks and meows. You loved Barney sooo much and he did you. So, know you are both together and no more pain shall you endure.

CASPER R.I.P. Casper was a beautiful white male cat who was with me for 20 years out of his 21. He passed away May 9, 2011. He was my companion for all those years. He was a dog in a cat\'s body. Sometimes, I thought he was too smart to be a cat, but I was so thankful for every day I had with him. I miss him so much. I will never forget you Casper. Hugs and Kisses, mommy. I love you, and now Gateway has brought you home to your final resting place where you will always be with me.

Our little dogs somehow got out and two of them were hit by a car. All three were wearing thier sweatres and I suppose that got people\'s attention because traffic stpoped and one person followed our third dog home and informed us of the tragic accident. After a long night of grieving we called Gateway. I don\'t know who answered the phone but they were very patient with me. Gateway send someone to pick up our babies and he was very respecful. About a week later we received our babies in a beautiful wood box along with a paw imprint of each dog with their name. That made us cry but it made us feel that Gateway gets it. They\'re just not dogs, their part of our family. Thank you Gateway.

We lost our beloved Britney on Sunday May 29th, 2011. We are totally heartbroken and think about her every single day. Our home is empty without her. We miss her barking, her greeting us all when we came home at the end of a day and her loyalty to all of us. She was a true friend who will be sorely missed. Thank you for looking after everything for our beautiful little princess Britney. We cannot wait to have her back at home with us again in her beautiful urn that we are getting from you. Many thanks again for making this whole situation so much easier for us to deal with.

PJ – March 15 2005 to May 31 2011 At such a differcult time; we are ever so thankful that our vet ‘Clarington Animal Hospital’ suggested Gateway for our baby boy ferret PJ’s aftercare. It was a devastating time consumed by grief, but happy that we made the right decision in the midst of the commotion. It certainly helps a great deal in knowing that PJ was cared for thereafter (as he deserved no less). We were so pleased with the professionalism, presentation and of course the sympathy card….it is more than we would have expected. We collected our little guy’s ashes a couple of days ago from the vet’s office; as hard as it has been and continues to be….we are happy to have him back home with us where he will remain for the rest of my days. Our Wee J has a very special place in our hearts and will never be forgotten and always be missed greatly by all of us (his family). PJ was an independent little guy….went about his own merry way, he loved to cuddle on my lap and enjoyed smooching from anyone who was in the kitchen (while nipping at your toes..as to say ‘don’t forget me down here’). You made us laugh and we were totally amazed on how clever you were….you always figured things out, we could see the wheels spinning in your little head. PJ you will always be with us. Goodbye for now my little one, until we are all together again. Again, a great BIG thank you to Gateway for your amazing service..it certainly helps a great deal to know that you handled our Wee J with dignity and respect. The Julal`s, Oshawa

We lost our beloved Britney about three weeks ago. We miss her and think of her every single day. Thank you from all of us, and to Paul and Steve for taking care of everything so well for our lovely little dog and for doing everything exactly as we had wanted to make our precious Britney be comfortable. It was a pleasure dealing with you and getting all the help and feedback we did as well. You really know how to take care of families who are grieving and everything turned out so beautifully. We have our beautiful pewter urn front and center on the fireplace mantle surrounded by pictures and her gorgeous framed paw print. A truly professional and outstanding job and so happy she is back home with us. Thank you again!!!

My husband & I just want to thank you for the excellent way you took care of our feline daughter Ebony. Your thoughtfulness and exceptional handling is something we will never forget. We knew one day this would happen and like anyone else were not ready. However, you have made it a little easier and we once again say thank you. She is back home now and somehow everything seems alright. Thanks again.

With the sudden death of our boy Tyson, we did not know what to do next or how things were handled. Mark at Gateway was wonderful and answered all my many many questions. We are comforted with the fact our Tys was handled with care and respect and that our final requests were met without judgment or hesitation. He was delivered in a beautiful urn which we did not expect and to have his paw imprinted in clay for us as an added memory was heart warming and wonderful. Thank you all for your support in this horrible time for our family.

I just want to offer my sincere and heartfelt appreciation for the lovely, respectful way you treated our 20 years 2 weeks 2 days old darling cat, Bugsie. His loss was very profound for our family and to know that he was treated with such genuine care has gone a long way to help us deal with his death. He was a dear and wonderful old soul and deserved nothing but the very best. Also, the lovely presentation of his cedar box within the blue box with the card was so incredibly nice. Thank you very, very much!

I lost my best friend and the family at Gateway were so compassionate and treated her with the love and respect she deserved. They did not rush me when I was making my decision on her final resting place and I knew that she would be handled with care. They went above and beyond and hand delived her remains back to me. Thank you Gateway family, for making one of the hardest days in my life a little easier.
