Aftercare Options
Every pet in our care is laid to rest through gentle water cremation — aquamation.
Individual aquamation — ashes returned
Your pet is aquamated individually, and their ashes come home to you in a curated Honor Box: a sustainable scatter urn, a fur clipping in a glass vial, a digital nose print, a memorial candle, forget-me-not seeds, and a tree planted in your pet's honor.
Communal aquamation — no ashes returned
Your pet is aquamated alongside other beloved companions, and their ashes are scattered respectfully. Keepsakes like paw prints and fur clippings are still available if you'd like something to hold onto.
Self-managed aftercare
Some families prefer to handle aftercare themselves. We'll walk you through what's involved and what the law requires please read the remains-handling section of our terms, and know that we're glad to help you think it through.
Working with one of our referral partners? You can get aftercare details directly from them — and trust
that we coordinate closely with every partner to make this as easy for you as possible.
