Gentle Waves: Eco-Friendly Pet Water Cremation
A farewell as gentle as your love.
What is Water Cremation?
Water Cremation, also known as Alkaline Hydrolysis or Aquamation, is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional cremation. It uses a water-based process with a solution of 95% water and 5% alkali to gently break down the body, returning it to its natural elements. It is the same process that occurs as part of nature’s course when a body is laid to rest in the soil.
The Benefits:
90% Less Energy Used Than Flame Cremation
No Harmful Gases Or Smoke Released
