Frequently Asked Questions - Pet Aquamation
Q: How Does Pet Aquamation Work?
A: Pet aquamation mimics the natural decomposition process that occurs after burial. Water, an alkaline solution, and heat reduce the body to bone fragments and a neutral liquid solution. The entire process is completed in a matter of hours and is the gentle, sustainable alternative to flame-based pet cremation.
Q: Why Should I Choose Alkaline Hydrolysis?
A: Alkaline hydrolysis, or Aquamation, has several benefits. Pet parents prefer Aquamation to traditional cremation by incineration because:
• Pet aquamation is environmentally friendly and does not release harmful toxins or pollutants.
• Alkaline Hydrolysis produces 32% more remains than flame-based cremation
• Cremation by fire is detrimental to the environment and releases toxins into the air that are hazardous to human and plant life.
• Pet Aquamation is gentle and natural form of disposition.
