When it comes time to say goodbye to a cherished companion, it’s natural to want their final journey to reflect the love, care, and dignity they gave us throughout their life. At Eternal Water Cremation, we believe that every goodbye matters, which is why we’re proud to be Miami-Dade’s first dedicated provider of water cremation for pets.

If you're considering this gentle, eco-friendly alternative to traditional flame cremation, here’s what you can expect every step of the way.

What Is Water Cremation for Pets?

Water cremation, also known as aquamation or alkaline hydrolysis, is a flame-free process that uses water, heat, and alkali to return your pet’s remains to ashes.

Unlike traditional flame cremation, water cremation:

Uses 90% less energy
Produces no harmful emissions
Returns more ashes to families
Offers a gentler, more natural process

It’s an option that honors both your pet and the planet they loved exploring by your side.

Step-by-Step: How the Process Works

We know that planning for your pet’s aftercare can feel overwhelming, especially during a time of grief. That’s why we’ve designed our process to be clear, compassionate, and supportive from start to finish.

Easy Scheduling and 24/7 Support

Families can request services directly through our website or by calling us anytime. We also partner with veterinary clinics to coordinate aftercare seamlessly, but you can always contact us directly—you don’t need to go through your vet to work with us.

Gentle Pick-Up and Secure Transport

We offer 24/7 pick-up availability from homes or clinics. Your pet will be transported in custom sustainable transport bags designed to reduce plastic use by 40% while providing respectful, secure handling.

Individual, Private Cremation

Every pet entrusted to us is tracked individually with a secure identification system. This ensures your pet is always treated with respect and that the ashes you receive are solely theirs.

Thoughtful Presentation and Memorial Keepsakes

Your pet’s ashes will be returned in our custom satin pouches and retail bags featuring our promise: Your pet’s final journey handled with care.

We also offer meaningful memorial options including:

Sustainable urns
Engraved name plates
Clay paw prints

Each family also receives a Certificate of Aquamation embossed with our official seal for an added touch of dignity and care.

Flexible Return Options

We can deliver your pet’s ashes back to your veterinary clinic for pickup, directly to your home, or ship them via FedEx for convenience. We’re committed to making this process as easy and comforting as possible for families.

Supporting Families and Veterinary Partners Alike

At Eternal Water Cremation, we’re proud to support families directly while also partnering with veterinary clinics across Miami-Dade and South Florida. Our goal is to ensure every pet and every family receives the same level of compassion, professionalism, and gentle care—no matter how they come to us.

We offer 24/7 availability and flexible pick-up scheduling to meet the needs of busy clinics while providing clear, kind communication to the families they serve.
