O. R. Woodyard Funeral Home & Crematory Midtown Chapel

Our pet passed away on a Saturday night. Our vet had told us that Shoedinger is available on weekends. We called on Sunday morning and were greeted with a human voice. We got directions to the rear entrance for pets, with the paw print heart on the door(see pic). Pet cremation prices are broken into weight groups. You can even book an appointment to be present at the cremation. Services offered vary by price(see 2020 pic of prices). I felt the same condolences for my loss, as if it were a human. They have an understanding of how close a family member your pet was. When business was concluded, our pet was carried in. In 3 business days we received the call that our urn was available for pickup at the Gahanna location. You have the option of choosing where you want to pick up. We received our urn along with a very nice packet of materials(see pic). A form inside was to be filled out and sent back for the included engraved nameplate. It took only 7 days(see pic). In the past we have done this thru our vet and handled in a pet drop off, payment, pickup manner. Nothing special offered. Though IMHO we did not choose a special package. Service, satisfaction, and choices make this a 5 star experience. I would not hesitate to recommend this service to another pet owner during their difficult time. BTW this was all done during the Covid-19 pandemic, and they were extremely cautious for everyone's safety.

Our best friend, SOCKS, passed in his sleep Thursday May 31st. That morning he greeted Andy and went outside to bring in the paper, went to his bed in the closet and never woke up from his nap. It was 7 p.m.,well past normal business hours when we called Schoedinger to arrange pick up. He was treated with respect and care by the driver. The entire staff was sympathetic to our loss and made the arrangements as stress free as possible. A few days later when I went to pick up his ashes the staff was kind and explained everything with patience and understanding. They posted the tribute quickly and even made a change when I made a mistake in the copy. Losing a pet is a painful experience, Schoedinger can be trusted to care for your companion. Our thanks to them for all they did to ease SOCKS passing.

A heartfelt “thank you” to the staff at Shoedinger’s mid-town location. My beloved female terrier pup, Pearl, passed suddenly and the attention given with gentle understanding from the staff at Shoedinger’s Pet Crematory was instrumental in helping me get through the process. Special appreciation to Hannah who followed up throughout the process.
