What Is Pet Aquamation?
Pet aquamation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis, is a gentle, water-based alternative to traditional pet cremation. Instead of using fire, aquamation uses warm water and natural alkalinity to accelerate the same process that occurs naturally in the earth over time.
The result is your pet’s clean remains, which are carefully dried and returned to you in an urn if you choose a private or semi-private package.
Families throughout Clarks Summit, Scranton, Waverly, Dalton, and surrounding areas are choosing aquamation because it is peaceful, environmentally friendly, and allows for a meaningful way to honor a beloved companion.
How Aquamation Differs from Traditional Cremation
Many pet owners are familiar with cremation because it is commonly arranged through veterinary offices. Aquamation offers another option that many families find gentler and more comforting.
Aquamation:
- Uses warm water and natural alkalinity
- Eco-friendly and emission-free
- Gentle, natural process
- Includes meaningful keepsakes and memorial options
Traditional Cremation:
- Uses high heat and flame
- Produces emissions
- Rapid process
- Limited personalization
Aquamation provides the same ability to receive your pet’s remains while using a process that many families feel better reflects the love and care their pet deserves.
