Aquamation

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

Individual vs Private 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 ashes. We promise you will only get your pet's ashes back. How can we be so sure? Well, your pet will be placed in its own individual cradle where they will be aquamated alongside other pets, but they will remain within their own enclosed cradle at all times. As an added level of security, each pet has its own stainless steel numbered tag that travels with them throughout the process. Plus, as a third measure, we use an electronic pet tracking system that allows you to see which step your pet is in during every stage of the process. You can rest assured that you will receive only your pet's ashes back.

If you prefer that your pet be placed in the unit alone, without other animals alongside them, we have a VIP (Very Important Pet) service made just for you. Your pet will be the only one in the machine for their private aquamation. This service comes with other added perks, like transportation for your pet and their remains, and a special memorial stone in the garden at the nonprofit organization, Old Souls Animal Rescue. See our pricing list for more details.

Communal Aquamation 

Individual or private aquamation may not be a feasible 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 their passing. That's why we offer communal aquamation in which we place multiple animals into a single cradle to head off on their journey to the Bridge together. While you will not get back your own pet's ashes from this process, we can give you a small amount of the group's ashes, and we will spread the rest in the memorial garden at the nonprofit organization, Old Souls Animal Rescue.
