FAQ
What Is Aquamation?
Aquamation is a water-based cremation process that is a sought after alternative to flame-based cremation.

It's not just an innovative process; it's a natural, respectful way to lay your beloved pet companion to rest. With minimal energy consumption and no emission of harmful gases, aquamation stands as a gentle, forward-thinking choice.

Depending on the weight of your pet, the range of costs for pet cremation varies. At Peaceful Veterinary Care, our individual cremation package starts from $300 for a weight limit of 0-49 lb.
