Please visit www.finalgift.com for more information on cremation products.
Aquamation/Eco-Friendly Cremation (see next page (Aquamation) for more information and pricing):
Aquamation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis, is a flameless process that utilizes the same mechanism that occurs as part of nature's course when a body is laid to rest in the soil. We use a combination of gentle water flow, temperature, and a small amount of alkalinity to accelerate nature's process. After either a flame cremation or Aquamation only the bones remain. In fact, Aquamation preserves more of the ash remains with no black ash carbonization when compared to fire cremation.
Aquamation produces significantly less impact than traditional fire cremation. This is because Aquamation produces no direct emissions of harmful greenhouse gases or mercury into the atmosphere, nor does this process burn any fossil fuels. The process is very efficient, with more than 90% energy savings compared to flame cremation and only 1/10th the carbon footprint.
Traditional Private Cremation:
With this option, after we have euthanized your pet, the remains are transported from your home by Say Goodbye At Home Mobile Veterinary Euthanasia Services to the crematorium. Each pet is placed in the crematory alone, and your pet’s ashes will be mailed to you within about 7-10 days via certified mail. The cremation remains of your pet will be returned to you in a cedar wooden urn. The prices below include transportation of remains to the crematorium, private cremation, a cedar urn plus a personalized engraved brass plate, as well as shipment to your home via certified mail.
We understand that the sanctity of the cremation process is extremely important to a pet owner. It is just as important to us. All remains are handled with care and respect.
Due to inflation and increasing prices at the crematorium, these prices will be increasing on January 1st, 2023.
