Pet Aquamation
A gentle, dignified, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional pet cremation for families across New Zealand.
A peaceful farewell
Returned to nature, gently
Aquamation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis or water cremation, is a flameless pet aftercare process that uses warm water and a natural alkaline solution to gently return your beloved companion to nature. The process produces a beautiful, pure ash memorial while using significantly less energy than traditional flame cremation.
We know that pets are family. Whether you are saying goodbye to a cherished dog, cat, rabbit, bird, or another much-loved companion, every pet entrusted to our care is treated with the same love, compassion, and respect we would give our own.
Owned and operated by experienced veterinary professionals, Pet Aquamation is committed to providing exceptional pet aftercare with honesty, transparency, and genuine care. We work closely with veterinary clinics and pet owners to ensure a seamless and supportive experience during one of life’s most difficult moments.
