Our 7 year old dog Rosie was buried at the Garden of Rememberance this morning. We were in two minds whether to take our young children (ages 4 and 2) along as we did not know if it would add to the trauma or help with the loss. I am so glad we did.
When we arrived Dave showed us to the plot he had ready for her and was so respectful of our feelings making the whole thing so much easier to deal with. He laid out a 'soft bed' for her first and then gently put her in. We buried her in a soft cloth that he adjusted to cover her face before asking if we wanted to help to fill in the hole.
We were made to feel so welcome and comfortable to return to visit her at any time. The children have been so much calmer since this afternoon and although of course we all miss her very much we know her resting place is a peaceful beautiful place which makes our loss that little bit easier to deal with.

We have 2 pets buried at Eirever, and we try to visit at least once a week. The place is an awesome location for pets to rest, and even more comforting for those visiting.
The work that Dave and Jackie do is fantastic. They are such nice people and made the griefing process easier.
I highly recommend Eirever.

Dave made the task of working out what to do with the remains of my 20yo cat so easy and painless.
He was great to chat to and so helpful.
The property is gorgeous and so well kept.
Keli was returned to me in a lovely (spill proof) wooden box with her name on it, and two nice poems.
I highly recommend Auckland Pet Funerals and will be using them again in the future

I had to unexpectedly put our beloved cat down and was so relieved that Dave & Jackie could help me that very day. We laid our beloved Osca to rest at their beautiful park, and I have peace knowing that he has a quiet place to rest, undistrubed for eternity.
I cannot recommend their service enough. For those wondering if a burial is the right thing - I can only speak from my experience, that thinking of their beautiful gardens, and putting a beloved pet to rest there is is a wonderful memory to have.

It was a relief to find EIREVER when our small furry family member and friend of 14 years Mickey passed away after a short illness. He has passed from this life and lives on in our hearts and memories, and so it is that while he now lays in the beautiful remembrance gardens in Albany we can visit at any time and tend to his final resting place, finding for ourselves relief and settlement. The permanence that EIREVER offers was better for us than to have him interred at home when we might have to relive the pain of his passing should we ever move.

Dave made what was a very sad event as painless as possible, and the gardens themselves are magnificent. The whole area is peaceful with beautiful plants and whimsical artwork - exactly the sort of place my critters would have loved to play in. Dave and Jackie are doing the community a huge service, in the most graceful way imaginable.

EIREVER is such a beautiful and serene resting place for our beloved chihuahuas Chloe and Bazil when they made their final transition and flew up to doggie heaven. Our animals are such special a part of our lives and we love them so much- we like to think that they are now carefree, flickering and happily running around in this beautiful place. It really is such a special, sacred place. Dave & Jackie have bought a little light into our sadness, lifted our hearts and created a very special memorial and place for our much loved friends- thank you so much.
Warm wishes
Sam & Lucy :-)

our shar pei, Bella, passed away suddenly and it was difficult for my family to accept the loss... though she's left her physically, we hope that she would be able to find happiness and joy in the afterlife and it gives us great peace of mind to be able to bury her at EIREVER... we know that she'll be happy chasing ducks at the pond, running across the field and doing all the other silly things dogs do that make my family chuckle and laugh at her antics....
we are touched by Dave and Jackie's dream and the development of EIREVER which allows us to grieve for Bella as we would any normal being, as to us, she is not merely a dog, but our daughter, sister and much loved friend.... our most heartfelt thanks to Dave and Jackie for their kind understanding and EIREVER - a place where we are able to gain closure when we lose a beloved family member....
to Dave and Jackie, may God bless you two cos you have been our angels in our moments of great sorrow and despondence

I have 2 pets buried there, and Dave & Jackie have created an incredibly awesome place for us to reflect on our fond memories. The gardens are beautiful and the place is ever so serene.
