Kindest Farewell has partnered with Compassionate Care Aquamation. Aquamation of water cremation, is an environmentally friendly alternative to flame cremation that uses water rather than fire to create ashes. With Aquamation, no fossil fuels are burned and no greenhouse gasses are released.
Kindest Farewell offers professional cremation services to support pet owners during the difficult time of saying goodbye to their beloved companions. We offer both private and communal cremation options, ensuring your pet is handled respectfully and gently.
Kindest Farewell is honored to offer Aquamation, a gentle, environmentally friendly option that provides a peaceful final resting place for your beloved pet. Aquamation—also known as water cremation or alkaline hydrolysis—is a quiet, water-based process. Using a combination of water and alkali, it gently returns your pet’s body to its natural elements over several hours, mirroring the same soft, natural process that occurs in the earth.
Additional Transportation Services
If your pet passes away at home, Kindest Farewell provides retrieval and transportation services. Standard service is offered Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, for $350. Additional charges might apply for after-hours or weekend services, urgent requests, longer distances, or services during evenings, weekends, and holidays.
Additional fees may apply for pets weighing over 100 lbs, aggressive pets, exotic animals, extended travel distances or time, and appointments scheduled on holidays, weekends, or evenings starting at 6 PM or later.
Private Cremation
With private cremation, your pet will be the only animal present during the cremation process, ensuring the cremated remains you receive are exclusively those of your beloved companion. The ashes will be returned in an urn of your choice, and a personalized paw print can be provided upon request.
If you want to keep your pet’s remains, you are responsible for arranging aftercare. For those considering a home burial, it’s important to check your local town laws and other relevant regulations. Keep in mind that we do not offer home burial services or provide advice on its environmental effects.
