Water Cremation - gentle and affordable without the compromise.
We treat every animal like they're our own, at every step of the way.
- Communal
Your animal companion is placed alongside the beloved pets of other families within the main chamber of our water cremation equipment. After cremation, 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.
Fees:
Small (0-30 pounds) $85
Medium (31-60 pounds) $175
Large (61+ pounds) $350
- Individual
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 pet and return their cremated remains to you in an urn.
Fees:
Small (0-30 pounds) $225
Medium (31-60 pounds) $325
Large (61+ pounds) $475
Included in the fee for cremation, we can pick up the mortal remains of your departed animal companion within 1 business day, from your home or vet clinic, anywhere between Girdwood and Wasilla. You may alternately elect to deliver them to us.
New in 2025, we are trialing a sliding scale for communal and individual cremation services. We cannot apply the sliding scale to any other add-on items. Details about the sliding scale features are on the home page here.
Not just for dogs and cats, we love large animals and exotic pets too.
Water cremation works for pigs, goats, mini horses,
and anyone else who once slithered, swam, or soared.

Eco-friendly water cremation is at the core of everything we do, but it's not all we do. More than just a crematory, we understand that many families want (and need) more than most pet crematories can provide. This is where we outshine the others -- with our Premium Services collection and collaborative Rainbow Bridge Sendoff.
Premium Services - more than just cremation, a caring hand when you need it most.
This is where our heart is -- in being there when you need us.
Additional Fees: $150
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 for different families. For example:
Premium Services are offered in conjunction with either Communal or Individual water cremation.

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 for different families. For example:
- 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
- Vigiling with the family in the hours following death, treasuring the last hours with the body of this being who brought you so much joy in life
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: $475
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, vigiling with you or helping you collect a lock of fur or nose print, before shrouding the body and transporting your departed animal companion for cremation.
