General
Humans and animals are composed of approximately 60% to 90% water. During the Water-based Cremation process, water is used to return a body to its natural state. Also known as aquamation, bio-cremation, alkaline hydrolysis, or flameless cremation, Water-based Pet Cremation is a respectful and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cremation and burial. It accelerates the natural decomposition process, breaking remains down to ashes while minimizing environmental impact.
Water-based Cremation is a greener approach because it reduces the use of fossil fuels, produces no harmful gases or chemicals, and does not contribute to pollution. During the procedure, a pet’s body is placed in a clean, stainless steel cradle. The water temperature and alkalinity are carefully controlled to facilitate the natural breakdown of tissues. After approximately 24 hours, only bone ashes remain.
Importantly, no DNA or RNA is left in the liquid during the process, allowing the filtered nutrients from the circulating water to be safely used for irrigation, benefiting plants without harming the environment. Staying true to the spirit of Pet to Nature, our dedicated consultants assist pet owners in creating meaningful memorial services that are personalized to honor their beloved companions.
