Pet Aquamation

What Is Pet Aquamation

Aquamation is a water based process that uses a combination of warm water and gentle alkalinity to return your pet's remains to a fine ash. Many families feel that this calm, contained process better matches how they want to say goodbye.

The end result is similar to cremation in that you receive a soft, powder like ash that can be kept in an urn, scattered in a meaningful place or divided among family members. The path to that result is different, and for some people that difference matters.

How Aquamation Works In Simple Terms

• Your pet is placed in a clean chamber filled with water and a mild alkaline solution.
• The water is gently circulated at a controlled temperature over a set period of time.
• Soft tissues are broken down by this combination of water, alkalinity and time.
• At the end of the process, we carefully dry and process the remains into a fine ash.
• The ashes are placed in a simple urn or a keepsake you have selected.

Why Some Families Choose Aquamation

Families who choose aquamation often say that they like the idea of a process centered on water rather than flame. Others appreciate that aquamation can feel quieter and more controlled, with a clear, documented series of steps from start to finish.

For many people, the most important factor is trust. They want to know who is caring for their pet, how tracking works and when they will receive ashes back. We answer these questions in detail before you decide.
