The Rise of Sustainable Pet Aftercare: Bringing Aquamation to the Alabama Gulf Coast
As environmental awareness continues to grow, more people are seeking ways to incorporate sustainability into every aspect of their lives—including the care of their beloved pets. This trend is extending to aftercare options, where aquamation is emerging as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional cremation.
At Reverent Coast℠, we’re proud to lead this movement on the Alabama Gulf Coast by offering aquamation as a gentle, sustainable, and dignified choice for pet aftercare.
The Shift Toward Sustainability in Pet Care
Pet owners today are more eco-conscious than ever. From choosing natural pet foods to using biodegradable waste bags, many families strive to reduce their environmental impact. However, when it comes to aftercare, traditional methods such as burial and flame cremation often don’t align with these values.
Burial requires land resources and may introduce chemicals into the soil. Flame cremation, while widely available, consumes a significant amount of energy and emits greenhouse gases. These challenges have created a demand for greener alternatives, which is where aquamation steps in.
What Makes Aquamation Sustainable?
Aquamation, also known as water cremation, uses a gentle combination of water and alkali to return a pet’s body to its natural elements. The process uses 90% less energy than flame cremation and releases no harmful emissions, making it one of the most environmentally-friendly options available.
In addition to its low carbon footprint, aquamation generates clean, natural ashes that are safe for scattering or memorialization. For eco-minded families, it’s a meaningful way to honor their pet while respecting the planet.
Reverent Coast: Pioneering Pet Aquamation Locally
While aquamation is gaining popularity across the country, Reverent Coast℠ is proud to be the first pet aquatorium to bring this innovative service to the Alabama Gulf Coast.
