When a pet passes on, families are left with several decisions that they must make. Oftentimes, in this period of deep grief and confusion, families will turn to their veterinarians for support and guidance. Veterinarians should provide families with multiple choices in pet disposition after a clients pet passes away. Aquamation is certainly a green alternative that all Veterinarian should provide as an option without changing their end-of-life offerings as it is set up now. Let the family decide on what end of life method is best suited for them and their beliefs. It is a fiduciary responsibility of every Veterinarian to provide all end of life options to the families they serve. Allow those families to make the best choice suited for them.
As unquestioned fact, aquamation is a greener alternative to fire based cremation and traditional burial. Fire cremation and traditional Earth burial are the two most common end of life services that are primarily offered by many pet funeral services. Of the two, fire-based cremation is the most popular form of disposition. It has been estimated that about ninety percent of pet owners choose to cremate their pet rather than have them buried. On average, fire cremation is less expensive than traditional earthen burial. This is mainly because if owners opt to have their pet cremated, there is in most cases, no need for a casket. There is also no need to purchase a piece of real estate in a pet cemetery. Please note that there is no universal set price for a pet cremation service. The price of a pet cremation is dependent on the weight of the pet and the location of the cremation provider. For example, it is less expensive to cremate a small dog like a chihuahua than it is to cremate a larger dog such as a Great Dane. The price of cremation can also be dependent on if an owner choses a communal or individual cremation. A communal cremation is the most affordable option of the three previously mentioned. In a communal cremation, multiple pets are cremated at once. With this method, owners cannot request their pet’s cremated remains to be returned to them because it is impossible to determine which remains belong to which individual pet.
With Aquamation, there are no direct emissions of harmful greenhouse gases and no burning of fossil fuels. This is great news for the Town of Hempstead and New York in general. Aquamation boasts positive environmental benefits because it ensures the air we all breathe is cleaner. In addition, one of the amazing by-products of the Aquamation process is an organic liquid known as effluent. This effluent is organically rich and completely sterile and non-toxic. The effluent can be returned to the environment through wastewater treatment facilities as an effective nutrient rich liquid helping to break down waste before the water is returned to the ecosystem. Even more amazing, the nutrient rich liquid can also be optimized as a plant fertilizer and given back to families to create new life or provided to agricultural partners to help grow their crops. This is an area that Compassionate Care Pet Aquamation is heavily focused upon that can be life changing for Hempstead NY and the world we leave behind to future generations.
Compassionate Care’s pet cremation process on Long Island is simple. It takes about 20 hours for the aquamation process to be completed. The process uses a solution of 95% water and 5% alkali and it’s the water molecules that break the bonds. To give you an example of how clean this process is, the 5% alkali used in this process are the same alkalis used in common cosmetic products, body washes, shaving creams, and even in food preparation. At the end of the process, all alkali has been completely consumed and neutralized, and no longer remains in the water solution. At the end of the Aquamation process, the only remains are the inorganic minerals of the bone. The mineral remains of the bone are then dried and processed into a powder for return to the family. Essentially, aquamation breaks down a pet’s body in the same way that nature does but in a shorter amount of time.
For those practices that mark-up flame cremation, Compassionate Care has customized partner pricing setup for the many Veterinarians they already serve. Aquamation won’t cost a practice more than what they currently pay for flame cremation but the environmental impact to the world all of us live in will be tremendous.

As I searched information about cremation, I saw information on aquamation. I quickly contacted Alan. Words can’t explain how wonderful he is. Not only was he compassionate, he loved explaining the process to us. My kids also came, and I swear it was like a class trip. He really loves helping us ease our mind by explaining every step.
