Pet Cremation by Water is an earth friendly alternative to fire cremation, in Arlington Height servicing Chicagoland and suburbia 24/7. The technical name is Alkaline Hydrolysis; however, it goes by similar names such as water cremation or aqua cremation. The process mimics Mother Nature’s course when a pet is laid to rest in the soil except it happens in hours instead of years or decade. A combination of gentle slow water flow, temperature, and alkalinity are used to accelerate the breakdown of organic materials. Water cremation uses a solution of 95% water and 5% alkali. It is eco-friendly, has no direct emissions of harmful greenhouse gases, and there is no burning of fossil fuels. The sterile water is returned to the earth providing nourishment. The remains are lighter in color, have the consistency resembling a bag of flower and the cremains are placed in a bamboo cylinder urn. It is truly the better choice for the environment and the air we all breath.
