Care for Deceased Companions
What is Alkaline Hydrosis?
Often times the best science is that which follows the patterns of nature. Alkaline hydrolysis, a chemical process that mimics what happens in natural decomposition, is just that.
We call it water cremation – it is an advanced method of creamation that uses an alkaline hydrolysis reaction of aqueous solutions 95% water and 5% potassium hydroxide to break down the body into its basic, soluble, organic components and bone ash.
What Does It Look Like?
Water cremation takes place in a controlled environment, over a period of hours (usually most of a day). It doesn’t use high heat or exhaust any pollutants. The machine produces a gentle water flow at a high pH level with elevated temperature.
Keeping the remains of pets apart from each other, this approach to body care of deceased pets renders a safe and sterile effluent (a mixture of simple proteins, amino acids, and soaps) and bone matter that is reduced to ash (similar to traditional cremation).
Communal Cremation
A respectful means of disposition of your pet’s remains
Your pet is cremated along with other companions in a respectful and environmentally-friendly manner. Remains of these companions are brought back in to the environment in support of organic farms in our area.
