Water cremation, also known as aquamation or alkaline hydrolysis, is a gentle, eco-friendly alternative to traditional fire cremation. It uses water, heat, and alkalinity to accelerate the natural decomposition process, leaving only the mineral remains of the bones.
The pet’s body is placed in a stainless steel vessel filled with a solution of 95% water and 5% alkali. The solution is gently heated and circulated, breaking down organic materials into their basic building blocks. At the end of the process, only the mineral remains of the bones are left, which are then processed into a fine powder and returned to the family.
The aquamation process takes approximately 18-20 hours at a temperature of 200°F. In contrast, traditional fire cremation is much faster, taking 1-3 hours at an intense 1,800°F.
The cremains are a fine, uniform powder with a soft texture, typically ranging in color from white to tan. Due to the gentle nature of the process, they are 20-30% greater in volume compared to ashes from flame cremation.
Yes, the cremains are completely safe to handle. The aquamation process ensures they are 100% pathogen-free and fully sterilized.
You can scatter, bury, or keep your pet's cremains in a beautiful urn. Honor Pet also offers unique memorial options, such as cremation jewelry, Resting Reefs, and memorial prints. Visit store.honor.pet to explore all available options.
Yes, it has a significantly lower environmental impact compared to flame cremation. It uses 90% less energy and emits no harmful greenhouse gases. Plus, with every aquamation, Honor Pet plants a tree in your pet's honor and provides online satellite monitoring of our Honor Forest.
Costs vary based on pet size and the selected memorial items, but it is generally comparable to flame cremation and less expensive than burial.
Families often choose aquamation for its gentle, flame-free process, environmental benefits, and the increased volume of cremains returned.
The water, containing natural byproducts like amino acids and salts, is safely returned to the ecosystem through wastewater treatment facilities.
