Saying Goodbye Isn’t Easy…
To us, our pets are family. We know the heartbreak that comes with saying goodbye to your best friend. You’ve been with them every step of the way.

AQUAMATION:
A gentler way to honor your beloved pet.
Aquamation is a water-based process that's an eco-friendly alternative to flame cremation and burial. It uses water instead of fire to return a body back to Mother Nature.
The scientific name for this water-based process is alkaline hydrolysis.
It is the same process that occurs as part of nature's course when a body is laid to rest in the soil. Although the process is water-based, it uses less water than a single household uses in one day from start to finish.
The water-based process is 95% water and 5% alkali. The alkali used in this process is the same alkali used in cosmetics, soaps, shaving creams, and even food preparation. By the end of the process, the chemical has been used and no longer remains in the solution. The remaining liquid is safe enough to be used as a nutrient rich, organic fertilizer.
