Aquamation provides families and veterinarians with a dignified, eco-friendly after-care option that honors the memory of beloved pets through gentle, natural processes.
Aquamation is a gentle, water-based process that provides families with a peaceful alternative to flame cremation. Using warm water flow and natural alkaline solutions, this dignified method returns a pet's remains to their most basic, natural elements.
The process is scientifically proven, environmentally responsible, and provides the same end result as flame cremation—pure mineral ash that families can keep or scatter in meaningful locations.
Aquamation is a gentle process that uses warm water and natural alkali to return a pet's remains to their simplest form. The process accelerates what would naturally occur in the earth over many years, completing it in a matter of hours with complete dignity and care.
No flame, no smoke, no harsh chemicals. The aquamation process is as gentle as nature itself, providing peace of mind during difficult times.
