“Exceptional care and service”

Steven A.
1/5/24

I found Mainely Urns doing a Google search for a nameplate for our recently deceased pet. I was impressed by the selection of pet memorials. I ordered three products. Mainely Urns kept me updated to let me know the massive storms had knocked out all communication at their business. Updated me regularly. And followed up now to make sure I actually received the product. So happy during a very sad time. Thank you for going above and beyond and the exceptional products. Highly recommend. Steven Adams

“Package arrived severely damaged with no time to replace”

The packaging was not sufficient in protecting the base of the unit. Was severely damaged/crushed so bad that 2 Iarge chunks were chipped off. Suggest they put it in another box with some styrofoam over the top of it. I brought it to a car dealer [family friend] who bondoed it and repainted it for me overnight. As I had no time to return it and get a new one due to the burial date.

Not only did we receive a beautiful urn for our loved one, but Mainely was amazing to work with. We had questions about the customization/inscription formatting for our daughter's urn, and Mainely responded quickly and thoroughly. They sent a proof for us to review and approve before shipping, which gave us the peace of mind that we were getting exactly what we wanted. I deeply appreciated their level of service.

I ordered a keepsake urn and an NFL emblem. I was sent the mockup to approve. Then there was a delay due to flooding in Maine. Mainely Urns kept me informed about the delays, and once it shipped, it arrived in a timely manner. The urn is beautiful. I would highly recommend Mainly Urns for all your needs, human or fur baby. Thank you Mainely Urns for being so on top of everything.

I had a very smooth experience. This manufactured marble urn is sturdy, and you can use it in the ground at a cemetery without an urn vault as it is weight bearing. The faux marble was pretty and we got it in my mom's favorite color - purple. I got the standard shipping and it arrived in three days. It was packed in at least two cardboard boxes, very secure. My mom was a bargain hunter and she would have appreciated us saving $500 by purchasing this.

Reason I chose this business:

Great price for the same quality.

We ordered an urn that we needed on short notice between Christmas and New Year's. Eve. Even with the holidays and a storm that caused a multi-day power outage in Maine, they got it to us on time. Great communication and a beautiful product. I have already highly recommended them to others. Thank you SO much!

Reason I chose this business:

Perfect product and price!

I received constant updates as to when my items were to be shipped and delivered. Talk about great customer experience. I found the urn on Amazon, but felt more comfortable with ordering directly from this website. I knew that since this was a very delicate item and the care it needed, for my own peace of mind, ordering from the direct website would be best. I was able to do MORE than I was able to do on Amazon. Plus, I also purchased an angel necklace to keep my daddy close to my heart.

Reason I chose this business:

Found on Amazon then went to direct website. Even more options and great reviews.

The wood urn was packaged very well. The wood urn came out perfect with my favorite picture of my Terri girl. I love that we were able to customize it and put an inscription on it. I hope she knows how much we love her and miss her. We have it placed in our living room, makes us feel like she is still with us. Although Terri was a small poodle, we chose a larger urn to allow for it to stand out in our living room.

Reason I chose this business:

I liked the design of the urn. The wood colored urn looks elegant and I loved that we were able to customize it to our liking.

My brother passed in January 2024. He was a proud US Marine serving two tours in Vietnam. We talked on the telephone almost daily three or four times a day. He lived in CT and I live in MA. I loved and still love him. When I ordered his urn and then received it finished I actually cried. I knew then and know how proud he would be. He was proud of his service time as a US Marine and I will always be proud of him.

Reason I chose this business:

Being born and brought up in Maine why not. When I started speaking to Kevin in my initial phone call and finding out where Mainely is located, New Glouster, and knowing that town was near to and dear to my heart I had to purchase my beautiful urn from them. Also knowing that Kevin and I had a connection to Maine…we both grew up in Portland, we both went to the same high school, different years however, and our summers were spent in the same Gray/Dry Mills area at times meant that the urn was going to mean it would be special to me and to my brother forever.

Very nice crafted product. However, it should be noted that the item description suggests this urn can accommodate the remains of a 200lb person. My father weighed approximately 130lbs upon his passing and I was barely able to fit his remains in this box.

Customer service was great. Kevin was very helpful and courteous throughout the process.

Reason I chose this business:

Reputable reviews and selection made Mainely Urns the obvious choice for me.

We could not be more happy with the urn for our beloved pet, Chloe. Her passing at 16 years old was devastating. Michael at Mainely Urns (and others) communicated so well with us regarding the urn we chose from the correct size, engraving, shipping time frame and they were so very nice. We love the quality, lovely engraving, color…it's perfect. Thank you so much!

Reason I chose this business:

I was looking at urns for pets and found Mainley Urns website. The style choices of urns were just what I was hoping to find. I found the shape of urn I had said I wanted…exactly. Then the color! I expected the quality to be excellent and I was not disappointed. It’s a beautiful, petite urn. Just perfect. And once the ordering process began I knew I was in the right place. Quality product and quality people! They care.

Mainely Urns understands that their customers are grieving a beloved person or pet. They are respectful and caring. They sent me a mock-up of my pet's personalized nameplate tag for my approval before printing it. They did a beautiful job on it, packaged it with care and made sure I received the package. I would highly recommend Mainely Urns.

Reason I chose this business:

I chose Mainely Urns because they offered the exact product I was looking for - a personalized nameplate tag for my pet's cremation urn. They did not disappoint.
