Aquamation for Dogs, Cats, and Pocket Pets

At Cholla Afterlife, we understand that losing a pet is a difficult experience, so choosing the right afterlife care is essential. That's why we offer individual, private, and communal options. 

Individual aquamation

Like most pet parents seeking afterlife care for their pet, the biggest concern you may have is how you can be sure that you will get back only your pet's powdered remains. We guarantee that with both the Comfort and Tranquility Packages, you will only get your pet's powdered remains back. 

How can we be so sure? Well, your pet will be placed in his/her own individual cradle where they will travel to the Bridge alongside other pets, but they will remain within their own enclosed cradle at all times. There is no possibility of animals mixing together. As a measure of security, each pet travels with his/her own stainless steel uniquely numbered ID tag thaat is secured to them before they begin their journey. As a second measure of security, we use an electronic pet tracking system with QR codes that allows us to see which step your individual pet is in during every stage of their journey. Finally, as a third measure of security to ensure that you only receive your own pet's remains, we hand write on their paperwork every location that your pet is in throughout their journey at Cholla Afterlife. That means that even in the event that we lose electricity or electronics fail, we know exactly where your pet is at all times. With our Triple Tracking System that we personally developed, you can rest assured that you will receive only your pet's powdered remains.

The Comfort Package includes:

• Individual aquamation for your pet;
• A metal ID tag for physical tracking of your pet;
• A QR code for electronic tracking of your pet;
• A sustainably harvested wood urn containing only your pet's powdered remains; and 
• A handmade unpainted clay paw print.

The Tranquility Package includes:

• Individual aquamation for your pet; 
• A metal ID tag for physical tracking of your pet;
• A QR code for electronic tracking of your pet;
• A sustainably harvested wood urn containing only your pet's powdered remains; 
• A handmade clay paw print hand painted in the colors of your choice; and 
• A small succulent plant watered with Afterlife Water from your pet's aquamation process, giving a plant life from your pet's life.

If you prefer that your pet go one their journey completely alone without other animals alongside them, we have a VIP (Very Important Pet) Package made just for you called the Serenity Package. Your pet will be the only one in the machine for their private aquamation. This service comes with other added perks, including the option to assist with making the pet's clay and ink paw prints, viewing the pet being placed in their cradle, and a special memorial stone with your pet's name placed in the garden at the nonprofit organization Old Souls Animal Rescue and Retirement Home. Contact us for pricing.

Communal aquamation

Individual or private aquamation may not be a cost effective option for some pet owners, but we know that money does not equal love, so we want to make sure that all pets and their people are well cared for after the pet's passing. That's why we offer communal aquamation through our Compassion Package. We place multiple animals into a single cradle to go on their journey to the Bridge together. 

The Compassion Package includes:

• Communal aquamation for your pet; 
• A handmade clay paw print 
• You can add onto the package for a fee a small amount of the communal group's powdered remains in an XS glass vial (teaspoon of communal powdered remains) or small urn (1/4 cup communal powdered remains).

We will spread the rest of the powdered remains from your pet and the communal group in the memorial garden at the nonprofit organization Old Souls Animal Rescue and Retirement Home.
