Nora Klinck, owner of Furever Aquamation in Chatham, is offering a unique alternative to traditional pet cremation. The new business uses aquamation, a water-based process that gently breaks down the body, as opposed to flame-based cremation.
What is Aquamation?
Aquamation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis, uses water and alkali to accelerate the natural decomposition process. It is considered more environmentally friendly than traditional cremation, producing fewer emissions and using less energy.
Benefits for Pet Owners
Klinck explains that aquamation is a gentle and respectful way to handle a beloved pet's remains. The process leaves behind only bone ash, which can be returned to the owner in an urn, similar to traditional cremation. Many pet owners appreciate the eco-friendly aspect and the softer approach.
The business has already received positive feedback from the community. Pet owners are seeking alternatives that align with their values, and Furever Aquamation fills that need.
Klinck hopes to expand awareness about aquamation and provide a compassionate service for grieving pet owners in Chatham and surrounding areas.
