Cremation Definitions
• Communal Cremation: A cremation procedure in which multiple pets are cremated together without any form of separation. Cremated remains are not returned to the pet parent, but are instead scattered in a private garden. A paw print can be added to a communal cremation for an additional fee.
• Private Cremation: A cremation procedure during which only one pet is present in the cremation chamber during the cremation process. This pet is uniquely identified throughout the process. The cremated remains of your pet are the only remains processed and returned.

Aquamation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis or water cremation, is an eco-friendly and gentle alternative to traditional flame-based cremation for pets. Instead of fire, the process uses a combination of warm water (roughly 200∘F–300∘F), a small amount of alkali (often sodium or potassium hydroxide), and gentle water flow to accelerate
Aquamation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis or water cremation, is an eco-friendly and gentle alternative to traditional flame-based cremation for pets. Instead of fire, the process uses a combination of warm water (roughly 200∘F–300∘F), a small amount of alkali (often sodium or potassium hydroxide), and gentle water flow to accelerate the natural decomposition of organic tissues.
This method mimics the natural process of decomposition that occurs in a burial but speeds it up from years to approximately 6 to 24 hours depending on the pet's size.
