Eco-friendly & modern pet aftercare you can trust

———————

Coming to Seattle 2025

We provide aquamation & aftercare services to veterinarians

Aquamation

Aquamation achieves the same end result as flame cremation, which is reduction of the body to final ash remains.
Aquamation – also referred to as bio cremation, water cremation and alkaline hydrolysis – is more like natural decomposition than any other method of disposition. The Aquamation process uses gentle water flow, temperature and alkalinity to accelerate our ecosystem’s natural method of breaking down and decomposing organic matter. A process that would naturally take months or years is reduced to just 20 hours. During that time, a combination of 95% warm water and 5% alkali gently rushes over the body.
At the end of the Aquamation process, your companion’s physical components have been returned to their natural elements, dispersed in water – with only the solid bone remaining, pathogen and disease free. In fact, viruses – and even chemicals such as cytotoxic drugs (e.g., chemotherapy drugs) – are broken down into basic nutrient elements, rendering them non-toxic. The mineral bone ash is returned in an urn to those who request take home remains. The water byproduct, known as effluent, is not only benign, but also beneficial. Returned to the environment, effluent is shown to improve municipal water systems. The effluent may also be used as a natural, chemical free fertilizer.
Aquamation is better for the environment than traditional flame cremation. The process does not burn any fossil fuels, does not emit harmful greenhouse gases, uses 90% less energy than flame cremation and does not emit mercury into the air.

Aftercare

We reach out directly to families and work with them to customize aftercare for their loved one. Our modern, digital arrangement lets families make urn and memorial decisions from home.
Many pet parents feel pressure to make a decision in the moment at time of death. Giving pet parents more time to make decisions can alleviate the stress and trauma of their loss.
Evvi arranging everything also means less work for your vet staff and a better experience for our shared clients.
We prioritize supporting our families above all else. We give families the option to arrange everything online, on their own time, offering a wide selection of aftercare & memorial services, as well as customizations for their loved one's return home.
- Additional paw prints, clay prints or hair tufts
- Separation of remains into multiple containers
- Paw & nose castings
- Artisan, locally sourced urns
- Cremation jewelry, blown glass & art
- Solidified remains
- Taxidermy & skeletal preservation
- Grief support

Your families see aftercare as an extension of you

That's why our services are rooted in empathy & built with intention

Aquamation is affordable, better for the environment & still results in ashes for pet parents to bring home.
We believe every pet deserves the dignity of an individual cremation. We do not offer communal cremations.
We're transparent about every step of the process: flat rate pricing, digital tracking and our doors are always open.
We love our own pets like family, and understand the difficulty of pet loss.
We're here for the pet parents navigating grief.
No more deciding between only two urn options. Our expansive offering of memorials, not just urns, are available to all of our families.
