What is Pet Aquamation

Pet Aquamation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis, is an innovative and environmentally friendly end-of-life solution for pets. Unlike traditional, flame-based cremation, aquamation uses a water-based process to gently break down the pet's remains, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint and reduced energy consumption. This method mimics the natural decomposition process, making it a more compassionate and respectful choice.

Aquamation

How does the Process Work?

Similar to natural decomposition in the earth’s soil, aquamation uses a method that combines gentle water flow, temperature and alkalinity to accelerate the natural breakdown of organic materials. Once the gentle, water-based process concludes, we dry and reduce the remaining bone fragments to a fine, ash-like powder. We carefully collect the pet’s ashes, place them in a secure, biodegradable urn or a container of your choice and return them to the pet owner. This thoughtful presentation ensures that families receive their pet's remains in a respectful and meaningful way, providing comfort and a lasting keepsake to cherish their pet's memory.

Why Aquamation?

The aquamation process provides pet owners with a serene and sustainable way to honor their beloved pets, ensuring that their final journey is both gentle on their pet and the environment. Flame-based cremation methods release harmful emissions and consume significant energy, whereas aquamation offers a cleaner, greener alternative. By opting for this gentle, water-based process, pet owners are reducing their carbon footprint while providing a more dignified and peaceful transition for their pets. Embracing this innovative approach signifies a thoughtful and responsible choice, honoring pets in a way that respects both their memory and the planet.
