Cremation with Pet Farewells

A respectful, traditional option to commemorate your animal companion.

What is cremation?

Cremation gently reduces your pet’s remains to fine, sand-like ashes in a high-temperature chamber over 2–4 hours.

What happens to the ashes?

Depending on your selected service:

• Ashes will be returned to the clinic in a urn or keepsake of your choice within 2 weeks
• Or respectfully scattered in the Garden of Remembrance
• Or disposed of with care by the Pet Farewells team.

Aquamation with Fond Farewells

An eco-friendly, water-based farewell.

What is aquamation?

This gentle process mimics natural decomposition using warm water and alkaline solution. Over 8–10 hours, your pet’s remains are carefully reduced, producing ashes similar to those from cremation.

Why choose aquamation?

• No flame used
• 90% less energy than cremation
• No harmful emissions or byproducts.
