Aquamation, also known as water cremation or alkaline hydrolysis, is an eco-friendly process that uses water, heat, and natural minerals to gently return your pet’s remains to nature. It is a sustainable and respectful alternative to fire cremation. It does not require fossil fuels and it does not release emissions harmful to the ozone.

Unlike fire cremation, aquamation uses water and natural elements, producing no harmful emissions. It does not require fossil fuels and it uses 90% less energy. It is a gentler and more environmentally friendly process.

Yes, aquamation is 100% eco-friendly. The process uses biodegradable materials, produces no air pollution, and does not require fossil fuels. It is the sustainable choice.

Simply reach out to us, and our compassionate team will guide you through the process, answer your questions, and help coordinate everything with care and respect.

If you choose the communal cremation, the cremains will be spread in a nature preserve, keeping your pet local and helping the environment in the nature preserve.

With individual water cremation, you have the choice between one of our three biodegradable scatter urns, or you can receive your cremains and place them in your own preferred urn. You also get to choose a nose print or a paw print from your loved pet. Additional prints are available for an additional charge.

While the cremains are perfectly safe for the environment, the PH level of concentrated cremains is not ideally balanced for some plant growth. We don't advise scattering the cremains on your grass or plants. We recommend scattering the remains across a larger area, like along your favorite hike, or turning them into stones.

Instead of receiving cremains, you can elect to get Parting Stones. Green Paws will handle sending your cremains to the company and we will let you know when we have received them back in 14 weeks or less. This process costs $995 for dogs and $795 for cats.
