The folks here are so kind and did an amazing job with my Selene. The urn options are gorgeous, and they even did a full-shave (for only $50) so I could keep her fur. They also give you a complimentary paw print impression. Beyond all that, knowing my beloved friend was preserved for me in a way that is way better for the environment (aquamation vs cremation) is very helpful as well in my grief. I can't recommend Resting Waters enough.

This place is AMAZING! Kale was wonderful throughout the whole process and was able to answer all of my questions. He was kind, patient and comforting during such a difficult and emotional time. We were able to get great quality imprints of our sweet Luna's paws. We also appreciated the tasteful selection of urns they offered. Could not recommend this place enough.

If I could give Resting Waters 10 stars I would.Both Kale and Darcy were amazing every step of the way, I don’t know how much better to put it. The kindness and compassion those two carry was incomparable, the services offered are priced reasonably and considerate, even compared to standard services at local vets, and the processes used (hydrolysis) are so much better for the earth than traditional cremation. This was extremely important to my partner and it’s all Resting Waters does.I wanted to put this review up from the first call I had, but I’m glad I waited, they just continued to knock it out of the park.As painful as it is to say, they have earned customers for life.

I am truly grateful for the genuine care and kindness of the Resting Waters team. My beloved cat companion of 18 years (Oscar) passed away a month ago after being diagnosed with a terribly aggressive form of cancer. It all happened so suddenly, and I was a mess by the time I had to reach out to Resting Waters. They were soothing and accommodating, and allowed me as much time as I needed to say goodbye. They even let me cover his body in roses before his aquamation.A few days later, he was ready to come home. I was so touched by the thoughtful way they packaged his fur, paw prints, and the beautiful urn with his remains. Not a day goes by that I don’t look at his memorial with gratitude, knowing that Oscar was lovingly cared for until the very end.I highly recommend turning to Resting Waters when that heartbreaking day comes.

I wish I could give Resting Waters 100 stars. If you read any of the reviews you would see that Kale is an exceptional person to work with. They are incredibly kind and understanding. They answered all my questions and were really able to put me at ease. My little Yoshi was an older guy but his passing was so sudden. I am in the human death care industry so I knew more than maybe a standard family coming in and I wanted to know pretty much everything that was happening and what was going to happen. Kale explained everything, and even made us laugh. They are an extremely comforting presence to be around and I was more than comfortable to leave my little guy with them. I know what standard of care we give to our humans that pass everyday and Kale never once made me feel like it was "just a dog" that had died. Our pets are such an integral part of our lives and honoring them at Resting Waters was the best decision I made in one of the worst times of my life. I really cant praise Kale and the whole Resting Waters Team enough! Thank you so much for everything

Resting Waters is simply above the rest when coming to pet funeral services. Our pet chinchilla, Sterling, recently died, and Kale made us feel welcomed and comfortable. It was very warm and inviting when we walked in, and we were able to have a small wake for our pet to say our final goodbyes. We would highly recommend.

Our sweet and zany boy Frank hopped over the rainbow bridge at the end of June. It was really sudden, even though he was 10, since he hadn't been visibly ailing. We were just in shock, unsure what to do, who to call, or even what questions to ask. My husband called Resting Waters since we had noticed it driving around WS.Kale walked him through the process on the phone and then he blocked out time for us to come the same day.with Frank. He was so incredibly kind to us and made us feel so understood, grieving for the loss of our rabbit. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm pretty used to people saying things like, "oh well it's just a rabbit." Kale kept referring to Frank as our beloved family member and showed so much care whilst being very informative and explaining things really calmly and clearly. We picked up Frank about a week later. His urn and the hand written card and all the packaging was really thoughtfully done.Thank you Kale! It really meant the world to us to have your support during that hard time. It takes a special person to sit comfortably with those in grief, we appreciate you ❤️

I literally cannot find the words to describe how grateful I am for the way things went with them every step of the way. The person that was helping us was Kale, and I don’t know how to explain it but it was like he was born to do this. He had such a genuine and natural kindness and old soul thoughtfulness about him that I found myself able to willingly hand over my most precious little being after he had passed away, to Kale without completely going into a nervous breakdown like I had figured would happen when it came time. Kale was patient and never tried to rush us as we said our final goodbyes to our little man and I don’t remember what he said at the time but whatever it was, it was just what I needed to hear. I also LOVED that he was so able to to come pick him up from us here so we didn’t have to go through the trauma of trying to Uber with our dogs remains in our lap or something awful like that. When kale found out how close we lived, he said he could come by in the next hour or so after we called so that amazing too. He showered up with a comfy little dog travel bag with a clean and fuzzy comfy blanket as well as opposed to just some box or something like that, it was so comforting to know that is how my baby was going to be treated in Kales care. That said so much. And after he left, I got a call within 20 min or so from him to let me know they made it safely back to his office so I didn’t worry which again, wasn’t something I knew I needed to know but once I did, it meant the world to me and made me so much less on edge. When the time came, Kale called and told me “Buster is ready to come home now, so anytime you are ready for that, please let me know and I will bring him home but no rush, you take as much time as you need ok, he is safe here.” Which again, wasn’t something I thought I would need, but once kale said it, I was actually quite relieved that it was going to be able to be when we were ready and that it was ok. I know I am just blabbing on and on here but this is hard for me to write without getting very emotional because I loved my dog more then I have ever loved anything or anyone, ever, and so this was the darkest time for me and my boyfriend because Buster was the light of our world and I just can’t stress enough that while I recommend using Resting Waters services because they are second to none, it’s Kale who really made this an experience that didn’t make my heart hurt worse and actually made me feel better. Which is crazy because who feels better after having their dog remains prepared and brought back to you, it is when you have to face that it’s really the end. I am so grateful that we had Kale there to help us through that . He is a special person. And last but not least he did such a darling job on the paw prints and also the hair that he put in a little jar for us, I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about that but right when I saw how nice it looked and that it was so much more comforting then I would have thought and that I am so glad he put so much love and care and kindness into the world and I am even more glad that there is people in this world that are have such a beautiful soul. I wouldn’t have wanted Buster to have gone anywhere else with anyone else. Thanks Kale and thanks Resting Waters, you are my angels!

I received the call to come pick up my beloved girl. The last thing that was said to me was "I'll take care of her for you." It was a comfort to know how important and valued she is to me.

I had to say goodbye to my boy a couple weeks ago. My husband and I were supposed to bury him but he was called into work. So there I was with my baby in the back of my car and I didn't know what to do. I started calling cremation places but they either weren't open or would be closed before I got there. I was in Tacoma. I got ahold of resting waters and explained my situation whole crying and freaking out a little because I was thinking I was going to have to keep my boy in the backseat all night. I just needed him out of my car. I made arrangements with her to drive there and the place just happened to be about half a block from my plac.. I didn't know if I'd make it in time befit they closed but the lady told me she'd stay open to I got there. After I got there she said if we decided the next day to bury Goliath she could hold him for us overnight and I could pick him up the next day. I couldn't deal with that and decided to just do the aquamation.. I'm so grateful she was there in my time of despair. I would definitely recommend this place.

Absolutely would recommend to anyone going through the loss of their pet. From our first call after our cat passing to having the remains returned to us a few days later, every interaction was kind and respectful.

Resting Waters was no less than phenomenal. When our precious darling Roxy passed, she was treated with such grace and care by Resting Waters. Darci, one of the owners was especially amazing. She listened to our needs and treated Roxy like the Queen she was. We are incredibly thankful that we were able to get our girl taken care of in the afterlife by Resting Waters; the love and compassion they have for pet owners going through such a painful loss is tremendous. Thank you so much for taking care of our girl.

There are experiences in life that, while heart wrenching and horrible to go through, bring some wonderful people out of the woodwork and remind you there is good in the world. Our dog passing away was one of those experiences for us and Kale and resting waters were those people. Our dog passed away on a Sunday from post surgical complications, too quickly for a visiting hospice to come. We were left with the choice of leaving his body in our home for 24 hours or finding a place to bring him for aftercare. Resting Waters was the only place open on weekends and it was perfect - Kale gave us a same day appointment and was responsive and so understanding and compassionate even on the phone. We appreciated the fact that they use aquamation which has a lower carbon footprint as well. We were given time to say our final goodbyes to our dog in a special room, and then took a walk to recover a bit at Lincoln Park afterwards. Then later when we picked up his ashes were given tokens to remember him by including a paw print and a lock of his hair. Highly recommend resting waters for when pet owners are unfortunately in need of these services.

Thank you Kale and Joslin for being so kind and compassionate towards me during this time. I’m the type of person to laugh or smile during tough times, it’s just the way I cope. Awkward as I may have been trying to hide my real emotions, Kale was still exceedingly empathetic towards me and took such great care of my sweet Grace today.
