Aquamation for Exotics (Includes reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish)

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 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 promise 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 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 travels through the entire process with its own stainless steel uniquely numbered ID tag. Plus, as a third measure, 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 the process. You can rest assured that you will receive only your pet's powdered remains back.

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/claw/fin/tail 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/claw/fin/tail 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 be processed completely alone, without other animals alongside them, we have a VIP (Very Important Pet) Package 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 pickup service for your pet and delivery to you of their remains, as well as a special memorial stone with your pet's name placed in the garden at the nonprofit organization Old Souls Animal Rescue. 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/claw/fin/tail print
• You can add onto the package a small amount of the communal group's powdered remains in an XS glass vial or small urn.

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.
