“We first became acquainted with Dixie Memorial in 2007 when we lost our wonderful pug, Rowdy. Recently, we needed them again when we had to help our sweet pug, Rosie, across the Rainbow Bridge. I talked to Barbara both times, and she was absolutely wonderful.
We initially visited ahead of time in 2007. I didn't know what to expect, but I had met Barbara at a nursing conference and was so moved by what she was doing. Plus, several friends and our vet recommended them and we were not disappointed. Everything was so respectfully and tastefully done. We chose a beautiful urn, and I got a small replica for my parents.
This time, I knew what to expect. That didn't make me any less composed, though. I spoke with Barbara by phone a couple days before when we knew it was inevitable. I was so emotional and kept apologizing. I told her we were repeat customers and she pulled Rowdy's record up right away, from ten years ago. Wow! I told her we would like private cremation again, and that I did not need a new urn, as we were going to mix Rowdy's and Rosie's ashes. Rosie's cremains were returned to us in a stunningly beautiful carved wooden "temporary urn" box. We were so impressed that we are still combining some of the ashes, but we are keeping the new urn for display. The urn was placed inside a lovely velvet bag.
It's always difficult losing a furbaby, but Barbara and her staff make it as painless as possible. Everything is handled with dignity and respect, just like you'd want for a beloved family member. Thank you so much for making a heartbreaking time a little easier to bear.”

“Extremely kind, answered all questions directly and accurately. They knew I was hurting and while I blubbered on the phone they didn't rush me. Thank God there are people like this in the world. They are making the grieving process for me and my wife easier.”

“Everyone was so kind and respectful. I was especially thankful for the sweet man who waited on us before he did the scattering this afternoon (we got stuck in traffic on our way). He was so kind to my kids, who would have been devastated if we missed the scattering of our beloved Petey cat's ashes. He also gave each of my kids a beautiful poem about the rainbow bridge. Thanks so much!!!”

“Words can't express how satisfied I am with every aspect of the service. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my Fur Fur. You kept her so very safe while awaiting Burial. I was allowed the honor of carrying her casket to the grave. Thank you for the love you showed her, and the respect you showed me.”

"When my precious little Sugar Bear went to glory on a Sunday morning, I didn't think that anyone would be available to help me take care of her final arrangements. However, a wonderful, compassionate lady at Dixie Memorial answered the phone and was prepared to counsel me on my options. Sugar Bear's remains were picked up from the veterinarian's office the next day. And her cremains were ready to be presented to me on Wednesday. I'm so thankful that Dixie provides these services to the Memphis area."

"My dog was buried July-1999, Buddy. I love the atmosphere of the grounds and everyone is very kind and comforting. I was so very distraught over my dog dying. I had never been so close to a dog before and he was so perfect my 4 legged child. Personally I would never consider any other place."

"We had to put our beloved dog Daisy down at the Vets. We wanted her cremated and given back to us to scatter her ashes at home. We called Dixie Memorial and set it all up. They picked her up at the Vets office and cremated Daisy and returned her to the Vet a day and a half later. She was placed in a beautiful wooden box with Daisy's engraved on the top. A wonderful card and all perfect. I am so impressed. Thank you for making this heart breaking moment in our lives a lot easier."

"We had previously buried our family cat here years ago and again chose Dixie Memorial for our cat we recently lost. Barbara and everyone there were so professional, helpful, and caring throughout the entire process. We can't thank everyone at Dixie Memorial enough for making the loss of our baby easier to bear."

"We had the sad opportunity of using Dixie Pet Memorial Gardens this week. After my husband spoke with Barbara on the phone, my daughter and I drove over with our dog in the car and we were greeted promptly by a very nice young man who I'm sorry to say I can't remember his name. We took care of the paper work and went out to the car to hand over our sweet dogs body for cremation. The young man handled this so gently when he put him on the gurney and even called our sweet boy by name. By three that afternoon we could return to pick up his ashes in two urns we picked out. Everything worked exactly as promised. It was a very pleasant experience all around. The grounds were nicely kept and very neat. There is even a rainbow bridge and a little meditation garden. A sweet place for our fur friends to be. We were quite impressed. I would recommend them to anyone who needs this service. They could not have been any nicer."

"Fantastic Care and compassion for our recently fallen K-9 officer . You guys are fantastic and all of us at the sheriff's office are grateful for you."

"Barbara did a great job of honoring our sweet, recently-departed Pug, Maggie. In addition to coming to Stage Road Animal Hospital to pick her up on a Saturday, they took care of things quickly, showed a lot of compassion, and delivered Maggie's remains in a beautiful box. They were timely and efficient in notifying us of all the steps in the process and I thank them for it."

"This is not a place anyone WANTS to be for obvious reasons, but if it comes to it, please do consider contacting Barbara to properly honor your loved one. I have personally called Barbara to thank her and am doing this Yelp review to help bring attention to her business."

"I can't say enough good about Mrs Barbara and the understanding that she has in the time of mourning. We lost our precious fur baby Buster this morning and she helped my wife with care and understanding that can't be faked. I'm so glad that she was there to help. Thank you Mrs Barbara and Dixie memorial for the first rate service! !!"
