About Aquamation

What is Pet Aquamation?

Aquamation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis or water cremation, is an innovative and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional flame-based cremation. While both aquamation and cremation ultimately result in the transformation of a pet's remains, aquamation offers a more gentle and sustainable process with several significant advantages.

Respectful & Gentle

Using a combination of warm water and alkaline hydrolysis to gently break down the remains, aquamation mimics the natural process of decomposition, giving your pet a respectful final stage of their life.

Eco-Friendly

Aquamation requires significantly less energy and produces minimal emissions. Therefore, it offers a lower carbon footprint and does not contribute to air pollution, making it an eco-conscious choice for pet owners.

Preservation of Ashes

Due to the gentle nature of the aquamation process, ashes result in a smoother and finer consistency. In addition, 20% more ashes are preserved in our flameless process.

Flameless Process

Because aquamation uses a water solution to process the body instead of fire, it is less harsh than the intense heat of flame-based cremation. More peaceful, and no release of smoke, particulate matter, and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

All Natural Solution

Aquamation utilizes 95% water and 5% alkali solution. Utilizing this solution means our aquamation process is not an acid bath and does not involve harmful chemicals or pollutants, making it gentle on your pet, and for the environment.

Peace of Mind

Choosing aquamation can provide peace of mind for pet owners and offer solace during the grieving process, knowing that they have chosen a respectful, gentle, and environmentally conscious method of aftercare for their pet.
