Faithful Companion Locations (2026): All 13 + Who Owns It

Two questions bring people to this page. Where is the nearest Faithful Companion, and is it one of those "local-sounding" pet cremation brands that turns out to belong to a national chain?

We can answer both, and the second answer is more interesting than you might expect.

Faithful Companion does not appear on Gateway Services Inc.'s brand list. Gateway is the company the Federal Trade Commission described in September 2025 as "by far the largest pet cremation services company in the United States," and it publishes a state-by-state map on its own corporate site assigning each state to one of its brands. Checked on August 16, 2026, Faithful Companion is not on that map or on Gateway's brand roster, and Faithful Companion's own website carries no Gateway branding. Gateway's map instead routes Tennessee to Pet Angel Memorial Center and North Carolina to Agape Pet Services -- two states where Faithful Companion operates separately.

We should be equally clear about what we could not verify: we were unable to confirm Faithful Companion's ownership structure from a primary source, so this page makes no claim about who owns it. "Not on Gateway's list" is a fact we checked. Anything beyond that would be guesswork, and we would rather leave a gap than fill it with a guess.

Last verified: August 16, 2026. Locations below come from our own provider directory and were cross-checked against the company's own locations page on that date. We do not state a price for Faithful Companion anywhere on this page.

The 13 Markets Faithful Companion Lists

As of August 16, 2026, faithfulcompanion.com's own locations page lists thirteen US markets:

Atlanta · Charlotte · Cincinnati · Cleveland · Columbia · Columbus · Dallas · Naples · Nashville · Northwest Indiana · Raleigh · Tampa · Troy

Our directory currently carries listings in seven of those thirteen, plus one Michigan listing discussed below. If your market appears on the company's list but not in our table, that simply means we have not indexed that location yet -- go straight to the company's own page.

Faithful Companion Locations in Our Directory

Ratings shown are Google ratings as recorded in our directory. Click a location for its full listing, or a city to see other providers in that market.

Two notes on that table, because accuracy is the point of this page:

• Morrisville, NC has no city page in our directory yet, so that row has no link. It is the facility serving the company's Raleigh market. The address and phone are from our directory.
• Kalamazoo, MI is listed in our directory as "Faithful Companion Southwest Michigan," but a Southwest Michigan market does not appear on faithfulcompanion.com's current locations page. It may have closed, been consolidated into the Troy operation, or simply not be listed. Call before you drive there.

Several of these map to the company's market names rather than the town on the sign: Marietta serves Atlanta, Sharonville serves Cincinnati, Lexington serves Columbia, and Morrisville serves Raleigh.

Three Similarly Named Companies That Are Not the Same Business

This is the trap on this particular search term, and it catches people.

Our directory contains three additional providers with nearly identical names that operate on entirely different websites and are, as far as we can tell, unrelated businesses:

Note the plural -- "Faithful Companions" -- and note that none of the three shares a domain with faithfulcompanion.com. If you are in Louisville, Iowa City or Green Bay and you found "Faithful Companion" through a search, the business near you is one of these, not the multi-state brand. They appear to be independent local operations, which many families will consider a point in their favor.

The broader lesson: in pet aftercare, the name on the sign carries almost no information about who owns the business. Similar names can be unrelated companies, and folksy names can belong to national parents. Verifying takes about a minute, and we walk through exactly how in who owns your pet crematory.

Why There Are No Prices on This Page

You will not find a Faithful Companion price here, in any city. That is deliberate, not an oversight.

Pet cremation pricing is set locally, varies substantially with your pet's weight, and varies again with the service type -- private, partitioned or communal, terms the industry uses inconsistently. Faithful Companion does not publish a rate card, and neither do most crematories, chain or independent. Any page quoting you a specific Faithful Companion figure for Charlotte or Nashville is repeating an unsourced number or inventing one, and a wrong number is worse than no number when you are deciding this in a bad week.

What to do instead: call the location and ask for a written, itemized total for the exact service you want -- cremation, urn, paw print or fur clipping if you want them, transport, and return delivery. Then get the same written total from one other provider in your market that is not affiliated with the first. Our guide to pet cremation cost by weight explains what actually drives the figure so you can tell whether a quote is reasonable.

What the Reviews Suggest

Across the eight locations in our directory, ratings run from 4.8 to 4.9 where recorded, with review counts from 30 to 539. That is an unusually tight and high band for a multi-location provider -- compare it with another multi-state pet brand, Lasting Paws, whose eight locations range from 3.8 to 5.0 in the same directory.

We would not turn that into a recommendation. Ratings are a snapshot from our directory rather than a live feed, review counts vary a great deal between locations, and a strong average tells you nothing about how a specific facility will handle your specific pet. But it is a fair signal that experiences at these locations have been consistent, and consistency across branches is genuinely hard to achieve.

Read the current reviews for the exact facility that will handle your pet before you decide.

Pros of Using Faithful Companion

• Not part of the Gateway group, based on Gateway's own published brand map as of August 16, 2026 -- so a Faithful Companion quote is genuinely independent of quotes from Lasting Paws, West Coast Pet Memorial, Trusted Journey, Pet Angel Memorial Center and the other brands on that map.
• Consistently high ratings across locations in our directory, 4.8 to 4.9 where recorded.
• Physical facilities with published addresses and direct local phone numbers, rather than a call center routing to an unnamed partner.
• A published locations page on its own site, so you can confirm coverage yourself in seconds.
• Established veterinary relationships in its markets, which makes the handoff routine rather than improvised.

Cons of Using Faithful Companion

• No published pricing, in any market. You have to call to get a number.
• Coverage is 13 markets, concentrated in the Southeast, Midwest and Texas. Large parts of the country have no location.
• Ownership is not disclosed on its own site. We could not verify it from a primary source, so we make no claim -- but if that matters to you, ask them directly; it is a normal question.
• The name is easily confused with at least three unrelated "Faithful Companions" businesses, as shown above. Confirm the domain and phone number before you call.
• One directory listing (Southwest Michigan) does not appear on the company's current market list, so our coverage and theirs do not perfectly agree.

Compare With a Provider in Your City

Whatever quote you get, the way to know if it is fair is a second written quote from an unaffiliated provider in the same market:

• Charlotte, NC
• Nashville, TN
• Troy, MI
• Sharonville, OH
• Marietta, GA
• Lexington, SC
• Kalamazoo, MI

Location details, addresses, phone numbers and ratings in this article are from our provider directory as verified on August 16, 2026 and cross-checked against faithfulcompanion.com's own locations page on that date; they may change, and this article does not assert that any specific facility is currently open. The statement that Faithful Companion does not appear on Gateway Services Inc.'s brand list reflects that company's own published brand map as it read on August 16, 2026. We could not verify Faithful Companion's ownership structure from a primary source and make no claim about it. FTC material referenced here concerns Gateway Services Inc., not Faithful Companion. This article does not state a price for Faithful Companion or any other company. Always request a written, itemized quote before making any decision or payment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are Faithful Companion's locations?

As of August 16, 2026, faithfulcompanion.com's own locations page lists thirteen US markets: Atlanta, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbia, Columbus, Dallas, Naples, Nashville, Northwest Indiana, Raleigh, Tampa and Troy. Our directory carries listings in seven of those, with addresses and phone numbers in the table above, plus a Southwest Michigan listing in Kalamazoo that does not appear on the company's current market list. Note that several facilities sit in suburbs rather than the named city -- Marietta serves Atlanta, Sharonville serves Cincinnati, Lexington serves Columbia, Morrisville serves Raleigh.

Who owns Faithful Companion?

We could not verify Faithful Companion's ownership structure from a primary source, so we make no claim about it. What we did verify is a specific negative: as of August 16, 2026, Faithful Companion does not appear on Gateway Services Inc.'s published state-by-state brand map or brand list, and its own website carries no Gateway branding. Gateway is the company the FTC described in September 2025 as the largest pet cremation services company in the United States. If ownership matters to you, ask the location directly -- it is a normal question and staff answer it routinely.

Is Faithful Companion the same as Faithful Companions Pet Cremation?

No. Our directory contains at least three separate businesses with nearly identical plural names on entirely different websites: Faithful Companions Pet Cremation in Jeffersonville, Indiana (faithful-companions.com), Faithful Companions Pet Cremation Service in Coralville, Iowa (faithfulcompanionsia.com), and Faithful Companions Pet Crmtry in Green Bay, Wisconsin (faithfulcompanionspetcrematory.com). None shares a domain with faithfulcompanion.com. Check the web address and phone number before you call so you reach the business you intended.

How much does Faithful Companion cost?

Faithful Companion does not publish prices, and we do not publish a figure for it, because pet cremation pricing is set locally and varies with your pet's weight and the service type. Any site quoting a specific Faithful Companion price is repeating an unsourced number. Call the location serving you and ask for a written, itemized total covering the cremation, urn, any paw print or fur clipping, transport and return delivery -- then get the same written total from an unaffiliated provider nearby. Our pet cremation cost by weight guide explains what drives the number.

Is Faithful Companion a good pet crematory?

Ratings in our directory run 4.8 to 4.9 across the locations where a rating was recorded, with review counts from 30 to 539 -- a tight, high band for a multi-location provider. That is a reasonable signal, but it is a snapshot rather than a live feed, and the brand average does not tell you how your specific facility will handle your specific pet. Read current reviews for that branch, and ask the questions that determine your actual outcome: how the pet is identified and tracked, whether the cremation is private or partitioned, where it physically takes place, and how long the return takes.

Is there a Faithful Companion near me?

Its own locations page lists thirteen markets, concentrated in the Southeast, Midwest and Texas, so large parts of the country have no Faithful Companion facility. Check faithfulcompanion.com/locations for current coverage rather than relying on any third-party list, including ours -- rosters change. If there is no location near you, our directory lists pet cremation providers city by city, and our state-by-state brand map shows which national brands operate where.
