Saying goodbye to your pet is never easy. At AquaCrossings, we’re here to provide comfort, care, and a meaningful way to honor their memory. With our pet aquamation service, you can rest assured that your beloved companion is treated with the dignity and love they deserve, while also making a kinder choice for the environment.
What is Pet Aquamation?
Pet aquamation, also known as water-based cremation or alkaline hydrolysis, offers a gentle alternative to traditional fire-based cremation. This innovative method mirrors a natural process, using a blend of water and alkali to return your pet to their natural elements.
Aquamation is not only tender on your pet but also a more sustainable option, leaving no harmful greenhouse gases and using 90% less energy than fire cremation. With pet aquamation, you honor your pet’s memory and their impact on your life in a way that reflects love, care, and mindfulness.
How Does the Aquamation Work?
Here’s how AquaCrossings ensures every step of the aquamation process is handled with professionalism and respect.
1. Your Pet is Brought Into Our Care
Whether through home pickup or drop-off at our memorial care center, we ensure that each pet receives gentle handling and remains tracked throughout the process.
2. Alkaline Hydrolysis Begins
Your pet is placed in a specialized chamber with water and alkali. This combination breaks down organic material over several hours in a respectful, serene setting.
3. Completion with Care
The only remains are your pet’s bone fragments, which are carefully processed into a fine powder. Each step is documented to ensure accuracy and dignity.
4. Return of Ashes
We return your pet’s ashes in a transitional urn, ready for scattering, placement in a keepsake, or however you choose to commemorate them.
5. A Symbol of Life
For every pet entrusted to us, we plant a tree in their memory as part of our commitment to giving back to the planet.
