Aquamation is a respectful aftercare process that uses warm water and an alkaline solution to accelerate the natural decomposition process. Often referred to as water cremation for pets, this method mirrors what occurs naturally in nature, only in a carefully controlled and dignified environment.
Compared to traditional cremation, aquamation offers:
- No direct flame
- Lower emissions than flame cremation
- Significantly lower environmental impact
- Softer, white sand-like remains
Families often describe aquamation as a gentler and more peaceful farewell for their beloved companion.
