The Difference of Water Cremation

Preserving the planet

At Green Heart Pet Water Cremation, we are dedicated to providing a compassionate and environmentally friendly aftercare service for your beloved companion. We understand the importance of honoring the memory of your pet, and we aim to guide you through this difficult time with care and understanding.

Choosing water cremation for your pet is a powerful way to honor their memory. It is a gentle, water-based process that significantly reduces their carbon footprint compared to burial and flame cremation. By choosing water cremation, you are contributing to a greener and more sustainable future for our planet.

A greener way to say good-bye.

Gentle water cremation

Water cremation, also known as aquamation and alkaline hydrolysis, is an accelerated method of natural decomposition without the burning of fossil fuels nor the emission of harmful greenhouse gasses. A warm salt water bath gently separates organic bonds over several hours, leaving only the mineral remains which are returned to the family.

Return your pet to nature with water cremation

Water cremation takes place in a state-of-the-art stainless-steel system powered only by electricity. The amount of water used during the process is less than the amount of water consumed by the average American household per day. The resulting nutrient dense, sterile water is recycled to the environment or used as fertilizer for plants, flowers, and trees.

Harmony with nature, compassion for pets.

The technology of alkaline hydrolysis or aquamation has been utilized by hospitals and universities for over 30 years for its environmental benefits and its ability to neutralize all pathogens and medications. Studies comparing different aftercare options found that water cremation has the lowest environmental impact of all other disposition techniques.

Low carbon footprint

Preserving the planet

When given the choice, 80% of families choose water cremation over flame cremation.

cremation ash

Cremation ash consists of the inorganic minerals that remain after all organic material has been broken down. Unlike flame cremation, the ash from water cremation is pure mineral with no contaminants. The gentle process of aquamation results in cleaner, whiter cremains, and the return of 10-20% more ash compared to traditional incineration. This makes water cremation the preferred choice for memorial glass keepsakes or cremation jewelry.

Caring for pets, preserving the planet.

Green Heart Pet Water Cremation is a family-owned business dedicated to providing compassionate and eco-friendly aftercare for beloved family companions. Our founder and operations director, Dr. Megan Niedens, is a licensed veterinarian with over 20 years of experience in the animal care industry. Her passion for personalized, compassionate care extends through her work at Companion Crossroads where she continues to provide in-home end-of-life care for family pets.

Dr. Megan's commitment to sustainable practices and her gentle approach to pet care inspired her to establish Green Heart. Alongside her supportive family, Dr. Megan has created a service that honors the life of each pet while minimizing the environmental impact. Unlike large traditional crematoriums that may process hundreds of pets each day, Green Heart focuses on a more intimate approach, respectfully handling only a small number of pets per day. This allows us to dedicate the time and care necessary to ensure that each pet receives individualized attention.

At Green Heart Water Cremation, we understand the profound bond between pets and their families and strive to give your companion the respectful farewell that they deserve. Thank you for entrusting us during this tender time.
