About Aquamation – Fort Lauderdale Sanctuary
Aquamation, offered by Gentle Pet Crossing, is a gentle, eco-friendly alternative to fire-based cremation, and Miami Shores pet aquamation uses water and alkaline (sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide) with zero direct emissions and less energy. Through Miami Shores pet aquamation, a pet’s body is reduced to pure calcium phosphate remains, yielding 20–30% more than cremation. With Miami Shores pet aquamation, there is no mixing or loss of remains since each pet is processed separately.
The wastewater produced through Miami Shores pet aquamation becomes sterile, neutralizing chemicals such as those left from chemotherapy, making Miami Shores pet aquamation significantly greener than fire cremation. We handle most domestic pets—including cats, dogs, rodents, and birds—through our trusted Miami Shores pet aquamation process. With Miami Shores pet aquamation, families receive an eco-friendly alternative that avoids harmful emissions. Because Miami Shores pet aquamation uses water-based technology, it ensures gentle handling and reduced environmental impact. Many pet owners choose Miami Shores pet aquamation for its sustainability, and every step of our Miami Shores pet aquamation service reflects compassion and care.
The Process
The entire process, from start to finish, takes about a week.

- We document your pet and give them an ID tag and number that we use to track them throughout the process.
- Our basic package includes the Tree of Life rosewood urn, an engraved brass nameplate, a hair clipping in a glass vial and an aquamation certificate.
- After one week, your pet’s urn and locket of hair are returned to you. You can either pick up your keepsakes from our location or at your veterinarian, or we can ship them to you for an additional charge.
