Alternatives to Cremation
Several options besides cremation are available for your precious companion.
Burial at home
Please check your city and/or county guidelines regarding burial of pets at home. Assure your pet is interred in a manner to keeps them protected from wildlife, and that protects wildlife from exposure to the medication, which could be harmful or lethal.
Aquamation
Aquamation is a gentle, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cremation. Using a warm water process, it returns your pet’s remains in a pure, natural form while using significantly less energy and producing no harmful emissions. Many families find comfort in knowing it is both respectful and eco-conscious.
