From the moment I got on the phone with Terry I had a sense of relief. He has the kindest voice and was so kind hearted! I cannot thank him enough of how accommodating he was with this process. My Molly was 18, she lived 18 full years! Saddest time of my life! Thank you Terry! You truly made such a sad time into a feeling of relief. Knowing she would be handled with care made this transition so much easier. 10 out of 10! You will not be disappointed! One last thing, Sweetie the kitty Terry rescued will give you comfort while talking! She really is a sweetie!

We went from everything normal to loosing our 15 year old baby in less than 24 hours. Terry is one of if not THE kindest men we have ever met. His kindness, consideration and the face that he treated our Emma as if she was his own, made all of this just a little easier to handle. If you want a truly private cremation, ensuring it’s only your beloved baby you receive back, call Terry. He met us after hours on a WEEKEND to ensure we weren’t left suffering over the weekend or even that same night. While I hope it is a very long time before we need his services again, when we do, I know who we will call. Terry THANK-YOU for everything you did for our Emma! ❤️

I had the unfortunate experience of leaving my pet rabbit when I went to work, to come home and find she passed away while I was gone. My little girl was a great comfort to me during a rough time in my life, and I couldnt stand the thought of throwing her away in a trashcan. I live in an apartment so a burial wasnt an option either. Thankfully, I searched online and found that Terry had great reviews. I called and he patiently helped me despite my emotional state. When I brought her in he treated her with respect and empathy and walked me through the process of cremation and whether I wanted to keep her ashes. I personally did not, I wanted her scattered since that reflected her rambunctious nature and I didnt want her stuck inside forever and he provided that for me as well. He even allowed me to spend time to grieve over her even though I got in after hours. Terry provided an incredible and delicate service and treated my bunny as a beloved companion and not any lesser than a cat or dog. I just wanted to leave a review in case anyone with a pet rabbit finds themselves in the same situation I was in and didnt know what to do either. Terry provides a compassionate service for a reasonable price and understands the bond between humans and their animal companions. Thank you for helping me during this tough time.

After 14 years of treats, love, & catnip (his favorite) my fur-baby Blue passed away at home. I looked up cremation services and found Pine Castle Pet Cremation Services. Terry answered and gave me information in detail and made everything easy for me in this hard time. Terry, was exceptional from beginning to end. This was the first time ever using this type of service. I was worried about my fur-babys remains being mishandled. He gave me peace of mind and handled everything exceptionally! I recommend Terry and his services to anyone looking for an expert in his field. He has been in business for 30+ Years! Im very thankful I found his services! I received the Certificate of Cremation along with my fur-babys fur/whiskers clippings and a print of his paws. Thank you Terry!!

Terry (owner) is a special person and truly a blessing. Our precious Gia passed away while we slept and we were a total mess the entire morning. We reached out with a few questions and Terry was very informative and so kind. He made us feel so comfortable and put us at ease. Everything was done all in the same day. Our precious baby was handled with care even in the end. We thank you Terry for all that you have done and appreciate you.

I found Terry and his services via Google search and chose him based on the numerous good reviews. I was not disappointed. My fur baby Happy passed away from cancer after being my faithful companion for 16 years. I wanted him treated gently and with dignity, so I really wanted to utilize a local, small business. If I went through the vet, it would be a week or more before I would be able to bring my baby home. Terry was able to fit me in same day. He was very kind and gentle with me and handling my pet. He took the time to explain the process and options. When I returned to pick up my pet, he had everything ready and even included a sweet poem with my Happys paw print stamped on the back. I found his prices very reasonable and his customer service exceptional. I would absolutely use his services again when needed for my other fur babies. It takes a special person to be able to do this job and maintain a warm heart. Thank you Terry for your compassion and the quality job you do!

For the first time creating a pet this was the best place to do so for our 11 year old goldfish who got sick and passed unexpectedly. After reading all the reviews and being one of the only places mentioned that would cremate small animals including fish, it was a good experience for a sad day. Terry was extremely kind and helpful with explaining the process and being understanding of how important our fish is to us (and the little kitten Sweetie also helped to cheer up the mood!) I would recommend this place to anyone.

Terry was a real blessing during a sad time. We lost our beloved fur baby today. His pleasant demeanor and friendly personality helped make the difficult process of grieving a bit easier. He takes the time to explain the process and offerings and ensures you receive a truly private cremation and obviously loves / respects animals. It was affordable and he accommodated us same day.

Offered services to cremate any beloved creature, including my hamster.Terry provided outstanding and respectful service. He went into great detail to make us comfortable with the process, including outlining the unique technique he uses to ensure all remains are saved and gathered, even for the tiniest of loved ones. He was a bright spot on a hard day of saying goodbye.

Sadly on September 16 2021 my Willow passed away. She was a beautifulpapi-poo and was with us for almost 13 years. Its my husband and 2 sons and she was the baby girl to us all. Terry as soon as we spoke on the phone had the most gentle and comforting voice. As if he felt my pain. He waited until my husband came out late from work and accommodated us in late evening. He is kind and took gentle care of my Willow as he took her in his arms and kept reassuring us that he would take gentle care of her. He shook my hand with a firm hand holding both of mine with his two hands while telling me I will be gentle with her as if she were my own. I left her there feeling light and able to breathe. He held the cloths folded that she was wrapped in, for us. We got her back that same night so that we won’t have to be parted from her to long. He was very detailed with the process and he only does private cremations. Only your baby gets cremated alone. Other places put other peoples pets to cremate together and make you wait weeks to receive your loved one by mail. If ever and hopefully not in a very long while that I needed these services again I will only come back to Mr. Terry and his adorable kitty in his office. Thank you kindly Mr. Terry.Jesenia and Harrison

This was the best experience I could hope for given the occasion. Terry was so compassionate and accommodating. I dropped my fur baby off with him at 7:00pm and was able to come back and get him the same night. The price is also very good for a private cremation. Thank you so much Terry!

I am so thankful I took Max, my kitty, to Terry! This experience was more than I could ever have wished for. Terry’s kindness, thoughtfulness and concern for not only Max, but for myself, was extraordinary. It’s not often you meet someone like Terry.I highly recommend him to everyone. This was truly a healing experience I would not have experienced anyplace else. I thank you so much, Terry!

Terry at Pine Castle Pet Cremation Services was a positive note on a very sad day. On giving him a call late in the day when my dog passed away he made arrangements to accept my beloved pet that night so she could be cremated the next day. He was compassionate and very informative of the process, and we were assured on meeting him that she would be in great and caring hands. He even gave us a few final private minutes with her before we left. She was ready to pick up the next evening and he even made arrangements again so that we could pick her up later in the evening. We even recieved locks of her hair and a paw print as part of the service. He really understands that our pets are an important part of our families and lives. I highly recommend Terry and Pine Castle Pet Cremation, I will be using his services again when that time comes.

Terry was so very loving to me and my family after losing our long time pet today. I felt 100000% comfortable that my pet was in safe hands. Terry really makes the process that much more easier when your going through so much already. He thought of everything and made sure we got the best goodbye for our pet. He even made sure we had a personal keepsake to remember our pet by and those little things just mean the world. 100% private cremation done with so much care. If you go anywhere please go to terry. Sincerely someone experiencing 1st time pet loss.

This was my first experience cremating a pet. Losing my Gingy was one of the hardest times I had to go through. I am so glad I found Terry. He was very compassionate and understanding. He provided me with wonderful videos to cheer me up, paw print with a beautiful poem, part of his fur and whiskers and this picture frame with his urns. I feel a sense of closer. I would definitely recommend Terry to everyone who has lost a beloved pet. Thank you again!Anisa

Terry made this incredibly dreadful experience, bearable. From the phone call, to receiving our remains, Terry treated us with kindness and compassion. Terry gave us a personalized package that consisted of a paw print, poem, death certificate, and other keepsakes. He reached out days after to provide smiles through shared animal videos. Pine Castle is an independent cremator, insuring you leave with your animal remains only. Thanks for being such a bright light in a dark experience!

I came to get my hamster cotton ball cremated and terry did amazing but he did show me a photo of cotton ball being cremated (she was on fire in the picture) it really has tore me up and I can’t get the image out of my head. While he did good work the customer service could use some improvement

Terry McGlashan is a wonderful, compassionate and caring gentleman. He cared for our beloved Kimmi Kat, and her owners, in a manner that was truly exceptional and endearing. We are forever grateful to him and the personalized service he provided in our time of need. Terry was also extremely accommodating and made himself available on Easter Sunday afternoon so we could pick up our kittys cremains. Such dedication is indeed remarkable in this day and age. We highly recommend Terry and can assure all who consider retaining his services that each cremation is done individually and handled with the utmost care and respect for the loved one and the bereaved.

When we lost our George very suddenly over the weekend, we were unsure of what to do. I called Terry and he answered right away, talking us through the process and offering such kind words of condolence. Even though it was hard to leave our best pup, I felt comfortable knowing that Terry would take care of him with respect and the utmost care.I am very thankful to Terry for treating us with such kindness when we needed it most and can’t recommend his services enough. He’s the type of person you need and can trust during such difficult times.

Compassionate, caring, empathetic, professional and comforting are exactly the traits that Terry showed us after we lost our beloved Chihuahua of 16 years over the weekend. I couldnt have been any more pleased by the care and love he showed us. He is genuine and he shows it. Thank you so much for taking care of our little angel. I will tell everyone I know about him that may need his services.

Lost my cat of 10 years this morning, called and brought her in, only took about an hour to have her ready to go home with me. I couldn’t be more happy with the service received. This was my first time getting a pet cremated, and was not at all disappointed. Great service. Would definitely recommend!

We had taken our guinea pig recently as he had passed and Terry made sure to take extra care and go the extra mile for a very personable experience. He is extremely knowledgeable as well as sensitive in taking care of you and your beloved pet. Other places that we had called were very dismissive and frankly rude but Pine Castle Pet Cremation Services took the time to hear our story and care for our final moments with our fur baby. Thank you so much for everything it helped ease a lot of pain in the process.

Our beloved cat named Tally recently passed and we would highly recommend Terry the owner of Pine Castle Pet Cremations. He did a private cremation with a beautiful urn for Tally. We received a certificate and a heartfelt paw print to treasure Tally forever. He went above and beyond making us feel comfortable in our time of sorrow. Bo, the cat will greet you and make you feel welcome.5+ (star rating)…......

Review №31

Mr Terry is such a blessing. He has seen us through 5 of our beloved cats passing on, and each time he has been just as consoling, understanding, and comforting to both of us during our time of grief. Our most recent, Mr. Bigs, was taken from us way to soon from cancer, at only 8 years, and Terry was there for us and was able to fit us into his schedule within a few short hours. Would highly recommend his services to anyone who wishes their pet to be cared for with dignity, in a PRIVATE cremation. Very important here, not a group cremation. He is also considerate of your needs, and will work with you to schedule the time needed. He is an extremely kind-hearted, compassionate, gentle soul, and you will see that instantly from the moment you meet.

We lost our family dog Buster of 16 years yesterday. I came across Pine Castle from just a google search. I read a couple of reviews and gave them a call. I cannot begin to explain how comforting and helpful Terry was. Just after talking to him, I knew he was going to help us through this tragedy. The whole family took Buster to Pine Castle Pet Cremation and the location is a little different that we expected. However, the minute the family talked to Terry, every single one of us knew that Buster was in good hands. Terry truly understands that pets are part of our families and he gives the care and respect that we all would want for any family member. We were able to bring Buster home with us the same night in a beautiful picture frame urn which was a great comfort to the kids as they didn’t want Buster to not be home with us. In such a tragic situation, Terry and Pine Castle Pet Cremation were exactly what my family needed to begin the healing process. The reviews are all spot on and I can tell you. They genuinely care.

Last night was one of the Hardest days I could ever endure. The passing of Jack was unexpected. After several hours of feeling numb and overwhelmed in pain, my daughter found this place. It was truly Heaven sent. The owner did everything with such dignity. He cut hairlocks of our doggy, gave us his footprint and most of all an Honorable Cremation.My Husband and children had proper closure. Jack wasnt just our dog he was our Son, our family member of 14 years. As Im typing I am balling in tears. The impression Pine Castle Pet Cremation left in me will never be forgotten.Thank you Mr. Terry from the very bottom of my heart!♥️🐕 🌈ITS THE VERY BEST!🐾🐾🐾

I’m so beyond thankful and grateful that I found Terry with Pine Castle Pet Cremation. One week ago we lost the love of our lives, Riley, and were not only heartbroken and devastated, but also didn’t know what to do. I stumbled across Terry’s info from all the positive reviews and am so grateful I did. Terry not only treated us like members of his family, he went above and beyond to help us every step of the way. It’s been an extremely challenging time, and I can honestly say I don’t know what I would have done without Terry. There aren’t enough stars to give Terry or positive words to write on this review to really show how thankful I am with all of my heart. I miss our Riley so much, but am so glad he was with us for so many years. Thank you Terry! ❤️

Pine Castle Pet Cremation Services truly lived up to their reviews! I called Mr. Terry first thing in the morning after having found our cat had passed away. He asked me to just give him a heads up as to when I’d be there and he’d do the cremation right away so that we don’t have to make several trips back. The location is a little sketch, but Terry has such a kind heart and was very accommodating that it didn’t even matter. We were able to take home our sweet cat’s ashes the same day, and he even saved clippings of her hair and whiskers for us along with a footprint. For such a tragic situation, we had a great experience. And the price is reasonable! Thank you Terry!

If your reading this you obviously are unfortunately in need of Terrys cremation services. I am sorry for your loss, these moments are tough. Save your self the hassle and frustration of searching around and just give Terry a call, you will not be sorry. As practically every person has said his services are top notch and sincere. Much needed during a difficult time like this. RIP Minnie. Thank you sooo much Terry, from Brandi & Michael.

My 15 year old Chinchilla, Akki, passed away 1/23/21 and I called several different crematory in the Orlando area; however, I chose to stick with this one. Out of all of them, this one shown how compassion and care for our little fur angel. Took care of him as if he was one of their own. While as other places seemed to only care about money. I also love how one of the first things they told me was that each cremation is a private cremation. Which I absolutely loved. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend and would do service with them again.

Terry and Jay were both incredibly sincere, helpful, and caring. Our boy Link was the first pet my wife and I have lost and we knew we wanted to keep him with us always. A truly private cremation and considerate attitudes all around ensured the best send off for our little buddy. While we hope it will be a long, long time before we need to call on their services again, it’s comforting to know Terry is here for us.

Terry was very understanding and caring when he took care of our pet who died unexpectedly. You can not go wrong with him and I would strongly encourage anyone who needs his services to go with him. He will ensure that your pet is individually cremated and is extremely caring and gentle when he explains the process with you. Thank you Terry for making a tragic experience more bearable for my wife and I, you really helped us a lot!

I will truly recommend Terry and his Crematory services. He made me feel like I knew him forever. He treated my deceased dog with care and like his own. When I thought that no one will take my dog in on a late Sunday afternoon. Terry answer my call and waited for me to get to his place business even though he was done for the night. Terry took his time in explaining his services and even gave me a little history about his crematory business and machine.Thank You for your services and reasonable prices.I will truly use you again.

It took me forever to finally write a review, Ive been dealing with the loss of Basil my 4 year old cockatiel. Her death on March 26 was sudden so of course I showed up crying, looking like a mess despite that Terry was still super nice and compassionate. I gave him a Polaroid picture of me and my baby to put on the box which he did perfectly, the box itself is really good quality too. He was telling me how its hard for bird owners to find places that cremate birds because of how tiny they are and most places dont carry the proper equipment like he does. So bird owners definitely come here if you want your angels to be treated with care. Terry even gave me the I missed you poem with her claw print on the back (its not going to come out perfect since their feet are small and the poem applies to dogs/cats but its the thought that counts) he even plucked some of her feathers off for me which made me cry in the beginning because a piece of her skin was on the big bunch of feathers but I appreciate the gesture now since i have more things to remember her by. Hopefully I dont have to be back anytime soon but if I do I wouldnt mind getting to see terry and his kitty cat again. Thank you Terry, now Basil is always by my side at home.

Review №52

After finding out our cat had terminal cancer last week, I was faced with the daunting, heartbreaking task of gathering information on pet cremation. I called Pine Castle Pet Cremation based on glowing reviews. It was after 5, and I figured Id be leaving a voicemail on an answering machine. Instead Terry, the owner, answered, and stepped out of a store he was shopping in to give me his undivided attention. He was so kind and answered all my questions with compassion. When our cat passed abruptly and unexpectedly just 2 days later (Friday night), I called back to make arrangements and Terry had someone meet us immediately, at about 8:30 pm, so we could deliver our pet and begin the process. It was such a relief as we were distraught and didnt know what to do. He lovingly returned our cats ashes to us Monday evening, and even gave us some trimmed fur and a sweet card with our cats paw print. I cant begin to recommend Pine Castle Pet Cremation enough! Respectful, caring and compassionate. Every cremation he does is a private one, for a very fair price. Ive heard horror stories of other places doing group cremations after promising and charging high prices for a private cremation, and then dividing all of the ashes and returning these commingled ashes back to the pet owners. It is such a painful thing to face, but if you are considering pet cremation, look no further than Pine Castle Pet Cremation!

If you’re looking for a place where you AND your pet will be treated with love and care look no further!!! Terry is absolutely wonderful!! He does everything he can to be there for you through your time of loss. He went above and beyond in every way possible!! His compassion and understanding is beyond comprehension. He will do whatever he can to help you feel as comfortable as possible and assure you that both you and your pet are in good hands. He was there for me at 2am outside of their service hours when my dog was super sick and I thought I was going to need their services sooner then expected. Terry was out of town at the time I had to drop off my beloved dog but Jay was there to meet me and help take care of things. He got back earlier then expected from his trip but originally he was supposed to get in late and even offered to help me as soon as he arrived back home from his long trip!! He literally put me and my beloved dog first. He allowed me to be there for the whole process which really meant a lot to me and He made it super personal which helped relieve my anxiety. Rest assured private cremation means private!! I promise,It is worth every single penny!!! He gave me some hair clippings, a poem with a ink paw print on the back, as well as accommodated some special request that I asked for which was absolutely amazing!! It was just outstanding in every way possible. Terry really treats your pet as if it is his own, and treats you as if you are part of his family. I can’t even put into words how much this meant to me and how wonderful Terry is. Special thanks to both Terry and Jay for being there to assist in these hard times 🥰💖

It was such a difficult decision to let my beloved cat go. He was only 13 and we were not ready. At the end he was suffering so much and the owner of Pine Castle was so caring. He helped us find a nurse that could come to the house on Sunday and opened his place to have our beloved Tata cremated. I love that they only do one pet at a time and I know that the ashes we have are of him. Thank you so much you made our day a bit easier

Review №61

Terry is the man behind the service and he genuinely cares. He is a family man and a pet owner, so he understands how hard this is for the people he helps. He does everything he can to accommodate his customers and he does it from the heart. His facilities are not fancy, but thats not what you are contracting him for. You are paying him to give you an individual cremation services that allows you to reclaim your pets remains pure and not mixed with other customers animals. There are services in this town that cremate multiple animals at one time and will hand you back mixed remains. Please dont think because your vet uses them that they dont do this, because some do. Terry respects his customers and their deceased pets and it is evident when you speak/meet him. After my experience with him, I will not even consider anyone else for something this important. Call him, talk to him and you will see what I am saying. Hes the one to help you through this hard time. Thank you Terry!

I never thought I would need this service. I had an outdoor cat named Princess Isabella. She still went home to her family sometimes but she lived inside my home and on my porch for the majority of her time. She was a fierce free spirit who regularly tore out my window units if we tried to force her to stay inside more than she wished. On Sunday 1/10/2021, I was on my porch holding and petting her when 2 dogs rushed into my yard and tore her from my hands. She did not make it. That is were Pine Castle Cremation Service came in. It was a weekend and we didnt expect to get an answer but we did. We arranged drop off right away (after animal services were called and the complaints filed) They were very understanding that we would need two of everything as both families that that loved her wanted her to be with them. They did exactly that. We recieved our beautiful kitty in two urns. Terry gave us each a bag of her fur and her paw prints as well as the cremation certificate. Terry truly understands that our pets are members of our family and treats each one as such. I couldnt be more grateful for Terry and Jay in this time of great sorrow. I will recommend this company to anyone.

We lost our best friend Maxx after 12 years this past weekend. It broke our hearts and there was no one open over the weekend to have him get ready to move on to his next life. Until I searched on Google and found Mr. Terry who was wonderful and took care of our Maxx like if he was one of his own. Mr. Terry showed us his love and respect for animals. Which we truly appreciated and put our minds to ease. We would never want to go down this path but when life says it’s time, I would not chose any one else. Thank you Mr. Terry for taking care of our Maxx ❤️

I needed a pet crematorium that was open on the weekend to take my dog that had passed on a Saturday. Terry and Jay were extremely helpful, thoughtful, caring and compassionate.

They have been doing this for a long time, and it shows; you will not regret choosing their business, and I will be recommending them to anyone that asks.

Terry was very kind, you can tell he loves animals. So glad we brought our sweet cat to him, we knew she was in good hands, at such a difficult time for us losing our 18 year old kitty.It was just him and he wore a face mask.

Extremely happy with the service we received! My sons pet bird Gizmo was a big of his life and while we are sad he passed away, Terry was able to help us feel at ease and he had no problem explaining the process so we can rest assured we received Gizmos remains and only Gizmos remains.I HIGHLY recommend Pine Castle!

Terry was amazing! I cant say enough about how nice and sweet he was! He was very helpful and sensitive to me just loosing my beloved pet. I drove over an hour and he cremated my beloved Copper right then so I didnt have to drive back to get him. It meant the world to me that I could take him home with me the same day. He cut some of his fur and inked his paw print. I almost lost it when he showed them to me. I never thought to ask for them but extremely thankful that he did that! I will cherish them. There is nothing fancy about the place, which to me made it feel more personal. I knew he was going to take care of my baby and I was going to get only my baby back. I dont know how much a pet cremation should cost but I though it was very reasonably price, not that the price was important.

5 stars truly aren’t enough to rate how amazing Terry is! My yorkie, Muffy, passed away before dawn Sunday 2/28/2021. I called local pet stores to get a referral for cremation services and they only suggested vets. I googled pet cremation and I’m thankful Terry was the first person I called! He was amazing and most definitely a God send for me at that time. He told me that he had another family at that moment but he could take care of me in an hour. When I arrived I was clearly very emotional but his genuine kindness and empathy was soothing to me. He was able to make me smile as well as give me time alone to grieve before I left. My dog had previously been owned by my friends mother so I asked if he could split the ashes so I could give her some. Not only did he split them, he gave her a poem with a paw print, baggie with hair and a certificate of cremation, just as he had done for me. He assured me that my Muffy’s cremation was private which he acknowledged isn’t always the case in the industry. He followed this up by sending me some videos that made me smile and included kind messages in each. He even sent a sympathy card to my home as well which I didn’t expect. I would refer his services 10 times out of 10. Thank you Terry, you are a wonderful man and provide amazing service!

I cannot be more grateful to have found this place. Losing my baby girl after 15 years was absolutely heartbreaking. I came in here sobbing and Mr. Terry was so caring, patient and compassionate. My baby couldnt have had a better service. He took care of her within a few hours of me calling him. He truly does care about your pet and approached this difficult and awful situation with care and great respect. He deserves every single one of these reviews and five stars. Thank you so much Terry.

Terry was wonderful and went above and beyond for our family. My fiancées long time family pet, Doyle, unfortunately passed away in his sleep over the weekend. The whole family was devastated, he was so beloved. My mother in law had buried him right away, until she and my fiancée decided that it was better to have him cremated. I had called around for pet cremation services but came to find out that most places did NOT accept pets that had been exhumed! We were frantic to find a place until Terry answered our call and his reassurance and understanding meant the world to our family! We made an appointment that day and within 24 hours, he was returned to us with so much care and respect as though it was one of us to have done it. He even set aside his collar we had forgotten in our point of grief to take off, also saved snippets of his beloved golden fur. He was so kind to us, It was a much needed respite to find someone that took our grief with that much care, it made this horrible experience just a little more bearable. Thank you again Terry for your kind heart.

Terry responded quick to my call and was able to set up the appointment right away. It is really a private service. When you are going through difficult times like this nothing better than dealing with people that understand you and shows compassion.

This was the first time Ive ever lost a pet and I wanted to find the best service to give by baby and I wouldnt recommend any other place. Terry was so kind and understanding, he serviced us quickly and communicated with us perfectly. He explained everything to us and took great care of our baby. Terry is also open to cremate almost any animal you can think of, even fish, and treats the pets as his own. He genuinely cares more about the pet and their treatment than the money unlike many other places you will find. If you live anywhere in central florida this is the perfect place for your pet. Absolutely amazing.

This is the best place to have your pet cremated. Terry is such a kind and compassionate person!!! Unlike most places, it is one day service, usually only 2-3 hours, and you can wait if you want. And if you want to, he allows you to put your pet in the unit, and watch as door is closed and turned on. This insures you’re getting a truly private cremation. And before final processing, I like to pick out a couple of bone fragments. This may seem morbid, but it brings me comfort. Prices are very reasonable. I’d never take my pet to anyone else. He’s just a wonderful man who provides A+ service!

Terry provided our family with top notch customer service when our cat passed. She passed in the late afternoon on a Saturday when most businesses are already closed. I called at 8:37pm expecting to get a voicemail as I did with the local pet crematory, but was pleasantly surprised when Terry answered my call. When you are grieving over the loss of a pet the last thing you want to do is leave a message and wait for a call back. Terry not only answered my call but walked me through what steps to take next to preserve our cat before cremation. He was so kind to squeeze us in the very next day. We were able to receive her ashes the same day of cremation which allowed our family the closure we needed & saved us an extra trip. As far as urns go, I highly recommend the picture frame urn Terry designed himself 20 years ago. It is obvious Terry genuinely cares about his customers and I will Recommend him to everyone I know. Thank you Terry!

Roughly 3 months ago I called Terry after my Pittie unexpectedly passed away. He was so super friendly and helped make our loss easier. Just this week we had to put our Husky down which we knew wed come back to him. And as usual, he was amazing. I recommend Pine Castle to anyone that suffers the loss of their loved fur babies.

One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to experience was saying goodbye to my baby of 11 years and Terry was so comforting and caring that it made the process so much easier. I received her remains, locks of hair, her paw print and certificate all for one affordable price. Thank you Terry!

Terry is as wonderful and caring as advertised. You can tell he genuinely cares. I had to take my parents beloved dog in to be cremated because they were inconsolable that morning. Terry made a very sad, stressful day as easy as possible, accommodating the cremation on extremely short notice on a weekend day no less. Thank you again, Terry.

I have to say that Mr Terry has a great heart. I could really feel that he cares for animals with respect and dignity. We came out of our way to come down to his place to have our cat cremated because of so many positive reviews. I really wanted a private cremation and was very nervous. I felt very assured that our pet was well taken care of here. He is very kind and the process was explained very thoroughly. She came home with us today, along with a poem with her paw print and some of her fur. Thank you for everything.

We have called on Terry 3 times over the course of 3 years after being referred to him by a doctor and vet. His loyalty to the families and their pets is top notch. He cares for your pet like it’s his own. He makes you feel comfortable during a heartbreaking time. Terry is fantastic at what he does, and he will be the only person I refer families to for cremation services. Thank you so very muchTerry for your continued kindness, compassion, knowledge, time, and dedication to each and every family you meet.

When a pet dies, especially one who feels more like a family member than just a pet, it can be extremely traumatic and difficult to cope with the loss. When we found our hamster Meatball dead, this was the reaction we immediately felt. We debated burying him but the fact that we live in an condominium complex made that option nearly impossible. All it took was one Google search and we had found the place: Pine Castle Pet Crematory. Scores of rave online reviews led us there and upon calling Pine Castle the next day I was introduced to Terry McGlashan, the kind, sincere, and extremely professional owner and operator or the crematorium. Terry was extremely understanding of the grief we felt for our beloved pet and knows the gravity any pet owner feels when their family member dies, regardless of the size or species. We missed our initial appointment for Meatball and had to reschedule until later in the day but Terry stayed open late for us, having to miss his trip to the post office just so he could help us out. Terry is one of the finest gentlemen I have had the opportunity to meet and was more than happy to indulge any request. Upon completing the initial paperwork he offered us a fine selection of urns which we declined as they were mostly too large to justify housing a small hamsters remains. He instead supplied us with a free temporary urn to use in the meantime. Terry offered us to stay in his office while the cremation took place or, if we felt more comfortable, to step out while the process took place. We decided to step out for a while and Terry offered us a list of local restaurants to visit while we waited. Upon returning, Terry was just finishing up and beckoned us his office where we were presented with a plastic baggie containing some of Meatballs fur as a special gift so we would always have a tangible piece of our furry friend to cherish forever. He also gave us a professionally notarized letter bearing his signature with a certification of cremation in an envelope complete with the seal of the crematorium. Terry also explained to us why cremation is the best way to take care of a deceased pet. He detailed how he was able to take the bodies of two exhumed dogs who had been best friends and join their ashes in a single urn for a grieving owner who had burial remorse. All this just added to the outstanding service we experienced with Terry and the Pine Castle Pet Crematory. I ensured him I would repay him for his kindness in leaving a review befitting the job he had done for my family and I. I cannot express enough the level of respect and admiration I have for Mr. McGlashan and the business he provides at Pine Castle Pet Crematory. I hope anyone grieving the loss of a pet seeks out Terrys help, as he is truly the best in the business and a saint.

My hamster just passed away last week and I knew I wanted her to be cremated. I called a few places to make sure that she would be cremated on her own and what kind of pricing I was looking at. I was being quote upwards of $150 and that was for a public cremation with no remains returned!Terry showed me around his crematory and showed the pan he used for small animals and explained the process. He shared some real horror stories about other cremation practices. A lot of people are just in it for the money, Terry explained, But I treat every pet as if they were my own.Long story short, if your pet has passed away and you want to look into cremation, call Pine Castle Pet Cremation. No one else is going to treat your pet with the respect and love that Terry will. If I could give him a 100 stars, I would.

Review №86

When it comes to loosing a fur baby to me, its like loosing a family member. The heartbreak, emptiness and sadness is overwhelming to say the least. I met Terry 7 years ago when I had to put my first pet Kobe down after 16 years. He was gentle, kind, compassionate caring and most of all, made me feel completely comfortable he would take care of him as if he were his own. I unfortunately, had to call upon Terry twice in the month of April for my Bella and my fiance dog Jasmine....Imagine having to do this TWICE in a month!! Devastating! Again, Terry was the most kind, compassionate & caring person I remembered just like 7 years ago. When you leave your pet with Terry you are able to have a peace of mind knowing they are treated with the utmost dignity. THAT IN ITSELF MEANS EVERYTHING! I look at Terry and his professionalism as nothing but outstanding! You really dont meet to many people like Terry and when you have lost your fur babies, he is exactly the kind of person you need. Thank you Terry from the bottom of my heart I am forever grateful to have found you and will ALWAYS call you and NO ONE else when it comes that time I need you again!

On Saturday afternoon Winston, our family cat of 20 plus years peacefully passed into our memories forever. The grieving process started and so did our resolve for taking care of Winston’s remains. We called Terry of Pine Castle Pet Cremation on a Saturaday night to setup Winstons cremation. Terry knew how distraught we were and told us to come by on Sunday at noon. We needed Terrys personal service to overcome our grief and Terry fulfilled our wishes fully, professionally, and respectfully. We highly recommend this service to all pet owners.

We were out of town, and our dog passed away over the weekend. Unlike other services, I was surprised that he not only answered the phone but I was able to have the option to get our pet’s remains back the same day. Terry was very compassionate and professional and gave us a dignified experience for our family member. I was very grateful to have found him during our time of need, and highly recommend him to any Pet Owner.

We lost our pitbull Zoey on 7/11. It was a Saturday afternoon. I was so distraught I had no idea what to do. I searched for pet cremations and Pine Castle appeared with high reviews. Being a Saturday I was skeptical if they would be there. Terry answered the phone and answered all of my questions. He was flexible, compassionate and very understanding. He handled our dog as if she was his own and provided us items to remember her by. I was so thankful that I found this place and will use him again when the time comes for our husky!

Review №91

This was my first time having to cremate an animal, my parents never did. But as an adult, I felt like I needed to do this for myself. My fiancé and I have a little fur baby filled family. A dog, 2 cats, a bunny and a hamster. Unfortunately, our hamster passed away early this morning. She was the first animal that he and I adopted together as a couple. So she means a lot to us. Terry was very sweet and genuine. I loved his energy and how compassionate he was. I was very hesitant on cremation because I felt like most clinics probably didn’t care that much and it was most likely just all about how much money they could get out of poor grieving pet owners, but Terry truly treated her like it were his own, and I am very grateful for that. The process took about an hour in total, and I got my baby’s ashes back the same day, literally an hour after, whereas other places it would have taken days to get back... I very much appreciated his kindness. From here on out he will definitely have my services when my other fur babies time comes. But hopefully not any time soon.

I recently lost my cat of 15 years. Being devastates by losing him I couldn’t bare dealing with the cremation of my beloved cat Mac. Then I came across such a wonderful and caring man named Terry. The first thing he told me was he was sorry for the loss of my beloved family member. He said your pet is family also. Terry had us come to his office when ever we felt was the right time for us. When arriving at his office I was very happy that we chose Terry to help me deal with Macs cremation. I felt so at eased with Mac being there and very confident that it would be completed with dignity and respect and that is exactly what happened. My baby boy Mac was back home the very next day where he belongs.So if you are going through this hard part of your life Terry is the person for you and your pet..Terry, Thank you so much for all you did for me during the lose of my baby boy Mac...Thank you

On behalf of my entire family I would like to Thank Terry for going above and beyond to take care of our Dog, “Taz”.

I wanted to thank Terry for his help during this difficult time. You can tell that he truly loves animals and it was comforting to know that my Kitty was handled with respect. Terry also explains the whole process to you. I appreciate how highly ethical he is and that he cremates only one pet at the time. It was comforting to know that I was picking the ashes of just my fur baby. Thank you Terry for your kindness and compassion!

I have a dog who gave birth to a liter of 5, but now there’s only 4. A special one named Ollie that I loved the most out of the liter.. he was actually the one I was planning to keep but unfortunately he didn’t make it. when Me and my husband gave Terence a call I was glad to hear In his voice that he actually cared about our lil baby’s death. He made the process so special and really took his time to make sure we were ready to let Our baby go and treated ours like it was his. So respectful and a great soul he is.
