A familiar name doesnโt always mean local ownership.
As more regional pet cremation providers join Gateway Services, a large pet aftercare network backed by private equity, families may see the same business names (such as Agape Pet Services) while the ownership behind them changes.
We believe families deserve to understand those differences when choosing who will care for their pet.
Furever Faithful Pet Aquamation remains independently, locally owned by a veterinarian family. That independence means we decide our standards of care, how we support grieving families, and where we invest our time and resources. We have the authority to make those decisions, and the personal responsibility to stand behind them.
This matters deeply to us. Our sister practice, Faithful Hearts Mobile Veterinary Services, previously partnered with a large flame crematorium that eventually sold to a private equity group. We chose to end that relationship when it no longer aligned with the care we wanted to offer. Creating Furever Faithful allowed us to personally oversee the aftercare we entrusted others to provide.
For your family, that means a small, familiar team, direct access to the owners, a comforting space to say goodbye, and thoughtful care for the keepsakes that help you remember your pet.
Compassionate people work in businesses of every size. Our commitment is to preserve an independent choice here in the Upstate, where the people caring for your pet also make the decisions about that care.
Your trust is personal. Our responsibility is, too. ๐ค๐พ
