AQUAMATION VIDEO
EXPERIENCED IN PET CARE
We have spent over a decade serving pets and their families here on the Central Coast. It has been a privilege to care and connect with animals and create lasting relationships.
RESPECTFUL AND PERSONAL
One of the greatest challenges we have in life is the loss of a pet and the grief that will follow. The grief is often overlooked by many and not understood by those who have not known the love an animal can bring. They are not just pets, they are members of our families. Losing a pet with whom we have shared so much is hard, and there are practical considerations that need to be handled with care.
We are a family business committed to helping you through the trying and sad moments of losing your pet.
ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE
It is important to us to provide a service that is environmentally responsible, honoring both our pets and our planet. CCPA uses a water-based system that is 100% green.
Included with Private Aquamation
Along with our private aquamation you will receive a wood urn. However, if you prefer a biodegradeable urn we also offer those at no additional cost (please contact us directly if you prefer this option). We also offer specialty urns and other memorabilia here
Wood Urn Included with Private Aquamation
Simple, clean lines highlight this urn made from Paulownia wood, the fastest-growing hardwood. Paulownia wood is very light, fine-grained, and warp-resistant. Because wood is a natural product, variations in color and grain are to be expected. Some species of wood have unique grain characteristics that may cause the final finish to look darker or lighter in some areas.
Biodegradable Earth-Urn
The Integrity biodegradable urns feature a unique assortment of sustainably crafted, handmade paper urns. They are the perfect greener alternative to plastic, tin, and wood minimum returns containers. The durable and attractive Earthurns are produced from the bark of the mulberry tree using an ancient technique that allows the bark of the tree to be harvested without harming the tree. The finished textured paper is sun dried before being used to create the urns.
WHAT IS AQUAMATION
WHAT IS AQUAMATION
• Water Cremation, or aquamation, uses just 10% of the energy needed in a cremation. Cremations often use temperatures in excess of 1,000 ̊ C, and so they are major energy consumers.
• In Water Cremation, there are no air emissions; 100% pollution free. In a cremation on the other hand, 200 kg of greenhouse gases are released each time.
• In Water Cremation, no 'organic matter' escapes from chimneys as occurs in some older cremators that scatters burnt ash into neighboring areas.
• In many countries cremators must now be installed with mercury filters, costing up to $500,000. By contrast, in Water Cremation, by Aquamation, there are no mercury emissions at all.
• In Water Cremation, no methane gas is produced. In a burial, this can seep out along with other toxic fluids and leak into groundwater.
• In Water Cremation, there is no waste of timber or metals that is often of furniture quality.
