​Aquamation - also known as alkaline hydrolysis -- uses a combination of gentle water flow, temperature, pressure, and minerals to facilitate the natural breakdown of organic material.

​

Aquamation was first pioneered by the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota and has been legal and available for humans since 2003.​

​​

Each pet is placed in a private chamber filled with 95% water and 5% mineral solution, which is heated and circulated gently around the chamber, accelerating the process that would occur in nature.​

 

When the Aquamation process is complete, the remains are respectfully prepared to be returned to the family. ​

 

Aquamation produces 20% more remains than flame-based cremation and the remains are lighter in color -- a soft white that reflects the gentle nature of the process. 

​

We are excited to bring Aquamation to Minnesota as a gentle, respectful alternative to cremation for pets. Our goal is for Aqua Bridge to be the next generation in end-of-life care for pets!
