Is Aquamation Different From Cremation?
Yes. Traditional cremation uses high temperatures and flame to reduce the body to ashes. Aquamation uses water instead of fire, producing the same type of remains that can be kept in an urn, scattered in a meaningful location (where permitted), or memorialized in another special way.
Both options are respectful ways to honor your pet. The choice simply comes down to what feels most meaningful for your family.
Will I Still Receive My Pet's Ashes?
Yes. After Aquamation is complete, your pet's remains are carefully processed into a soft, white powder and returned exclusively to your family.
The remains are typically lighter in color and slightly greater in volume than those from traditional cremation because the process is gentler on the bone.
