Memories are precious for sure !!! It's been a long road for me over the years and two people asked me today if I was going to do the " Trees " this year. Asked me to at least put the " Trees" up the " Trees " without a huge service. I told them I will ~ This programs mean so much to those who hurt horribly so I'll suck it up and do it again for the 21st year ! It's a Jimmy thing for sure. These are the " Trees " ! EVERY SINGLE ornament on these tree's represents the love, the care, the loss, the remembrance, the void of a special companion in a persons life. 21 years of the " Tree's of Loving Memories ". Hundred's of ornaments hang on these special tree's in memory of peoples pet's ! I announce we will do this again this year in memory of your pet(s) again as the year closes. Please call (904) 724-5556 if you would like to add a ornament to one of the " trees ".

Kingsland pet cremation scandal leads to 40 new charges against couple NOW accused of mishandling pet remains at Georgia crematory, including former Atlantic beach manager
KINGSLAND, Ga. – An update to an I-Team investigation reveals that the couple accused of mishandling pet remains at a Kingsland crematory now face 40 additional charges.

The Rayans were initially arrested on Aug. 26, a day after Shawn McCoy’s nearly 13-year-old Labradoodle, Charlie, passed away. McCoy and her son had taken Charlie to Compassionate Care for cremation.
Days later, a detective contacted McCoy with disturbing news: Investigators found Charlie’s remains in a black trash bag in the bed of a pickup truck, exposed to the heat of the day.
“It’s very sad that somebody would come to our little community and think that they could get away with it,” McCoy said.
She described Charlie as laid back, friendly, and like another child in her family. She said her granddaughter is just a few months older than Charlie and the two grew up together. She said Charlie was the first pet she has had.

“He just made me feel better. I had something to come home to. My kids are all adults.”
News4JAX was present as animal remains were uncovered behind the cremation facility. The Rayans were released on bond but were later taken back into custody in Louisiana.
Camden County Police Chief Rick Evans called the case “among the most disturbing I have encountered in my law enforcement career.”
Nader Rayan is no stranger to controversy. He previously served jail time as the former manager of an Atlantic Beach cemetery after accusations of defrauding families who sought the I-TEAM’s help in 2016.
The exact number of pet owners affected by this scandal remains unknown.
McCoy expressed how the situation has made grieving even harder. “It’s a constant reminder,” she said.
Kingsland Police have not released additional reports on the new charges, citing the ongoing investigation.
