A Gentler Approach to Cremation For
Every Kind of Companion
Rabbits, birds, ferrets, guinea pigs, reptiles, and even fish — every kind of companion deserves the same dignity and care. Our water cremation method is uniquely suited to smaller, more fragile companions, and the memorials we make for them are tailored to each species.
The companions we care for
Rabbits
From dwarf to Flemish Giant. Guinea pigs, too — small in size, vast in personality.
Hedgehogs & Small Mammals
Hedgehogs, hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, ferrets, sugar gliders — the mischief-makers and the quiet ones.
Birds
Parrots, cockatiels, canaries, finches — companions of every wingspan.
Reptiles
Bearded dragons, geckos, snakes, turtles, tortoises — the scaled and the shelled.
Fish
Koi, bettas, oscars — the long-loved tank companions.
Amphibians
Frogs, toads, salamanders, newts — the quiet ones who shared the water and the leaf.
If your companion isn’t on this list, please call us anyway. The list keeps growing.
Why water cremation
A gentler process for fragile companions.
Water cremation is gentle by design. The process works with warm, gently moving water rather than high heat, which makes it especially well suited to the delicate skeletal structure of exotic companions — the fine bones of a bird, the small frame of a guinea pig, the unique anatomy of a reptile. Where other methods can leave families with little to hold, water cremation honors what remains.
Memorials made for them
A paw print isn’t always the right keepsake.
A paw print isn't always the right keepsake. We work with families to choose what fits their companion — a tail print for a reptile, a small feather impression for a bird, a keepsake urn sized for the smaller companions in our care. Every memorial is shaped around who your companion was.
For reptiles
Tail Prints
A printed impression of your companion's tail — distinct and unmistakable. We capture the texture and shape with the same care we'd give a paw print.
For birds
Feather Impressions
A single feather or a small arrangement, preserved as a keepsake. Each is handled gently and presented in a way that honors the companion it came from.
For every small companion
Keepsake Urns
Smaller urns sized for the smaller companions in our care — wooden, ceramic, photo-frame, and biodegradable options. Picked to fit, not just to scale down.
