This ensures a seamless, expert, and heartfelt process during this difficult time.
Understanding Aquamation: A Compassionate and Sustainable Choice
Aquamation is a gentle, innovative, and water-based process that accelerates the
natural breakdown of tissue, offering a serene and respectful alternative to traditional
flame-based cremation. It’s more than just a service; it's a choice for peace of mind and
planetary health.
How the Gentle Process Works:
1. Placement: Your pet is carefully placed in the aquamation chamber.
2. The Gentle Cycle: Warm water and alkaline salts are added, initiating a warm,
gentle flow that breaks down the organic tissue. This cycle takes approximately
18-24 hours, creating a tranquil environment.
3. Collection: The remaining bones and mineral remains are then dried and
processed into soft, pure ash for your return.
4. Eco-Friendly Return: The released water (known as effluent) is sterile, nutrient-
rich, and safely disposed of. It contains harmless compounds like amino acids,
sugars, and salts, and can even be used as fertilizer. We are proud to make an
eco-friendly return of the effluent to nature.
