Aquamation Cremation
As pet parents, you surround your companions with love and care from the moment they enter your life. They offer you unwavering loyalty, comfort, and joy—and when the time comes, you can honor that bond by choosing an aftercare option that reflects the same love and dignity.

Cremation Options
Communal Cremation
Your pet is placed with other cherished pets in a communal setting. Because this option is shared, ashes are not returned. However, we offer several keepsakes to help you remember your companion:
Individual Cremation
If you prefer to have your pet’s ashes returned, we offer individual cremation.
Aquamation is performed here in our hospital.
Your pet is placed alone in the aquatorium chamber.
A silver identification tag remains with them throughout the process.
We will return your loved one’s cremated remains in a timely manner with the utmost care and respect.
