Services

Regardless of the services rendered, our staff are always respectful and compassionate when handling the departed animal companions of our neighbors. ​

Water Cremation - gentle and affordable without the compromise.
For those searching for a simple option, our basic cremation services ensure your pet is treated with the utmost respect and care. 

• Communal
  Fees: $2 per pound of body weight
  Your animal companion is placed alongside the beloved pets of other families within the main chamber of our water cremation equipment. After the water cremation is complete, we process the remaining bone fragments and scatter the ashes in one of our favorite natural spaces. Ashes are not returned to you following communal cremations. 
• Individual 
  Fees: $100 plus $2 per pound of body weight
  Your animal companion is placed in their own, private compartment within the equipment. After the water cremation process is complete, we process the remaining bone fragments from your dog and return their cremated remains to you in an urn.  

Logistics -- We can pick up within 1 business day from Girdwood to Wasilla. If applicable, will let you know when ashes and memorial items are ready for you to pick up from us in Anchorage.

Straightforward, a la carte water cremation.

Premium Service - more than just cremation, a caring hand when you need it most. 
This is where our heart is -- in creating meaningful experiences for grieving pet families. 
Additional Fees:  $250
The death of a beloved animal companion, expected or not, is profoundly sad. Let us be there for you. Because every family and every animal is unique, our Premium Services can mean different things to different families, including:

• Transporting the animal from a euthanasia appointment back to their home, so families can spend more time saying "goodbye"
• Guiding families in memory making, like clipping a lock of fur or taking nose prints
• Bathing an animal and shrouding them in a favorite blanket

Logistics -- leave the logistics to us. We're on-call to provide transport of your animal to our facility from wherever you are between Girdwood and Wasilla. We will return ashes and memorial items to your doorstep when they are ready. You will also have lifetime access to the online bereavement support and educational platform, Next Level Pets.

Premium Services are offered in conjunction with either Communal or Individual water cremation. 

Rainbow Bridge Sendoff - a farewell like no other, crafted with care and tailored for your family.
Our Premium Service joins forces with the mobile veterinary community to offer a heartfelt farewell to celebrate your pet's unique spirit. We've developed a collaborative relationship with local mobile veterinarians to provide unified end-of-life services in the comfort of your home.
Additional Fees:  $410
When it's clear that euthanasia is the most humane next step, let us make the arrangements. We will arrange for a licensed veterinarian to meet us at your doorstep. Once the euthanasia appointment is concluded, we will stay for as long as you'd like before shrouding the body and transporting for cremation.

The Rainbow Bridge Sendoff is offered in conjunction with Premium Services and either Communal or Individual water cremation.
