Freeze-Drying Process
We know it’s hard to let go of family members we used to spend a lot of time with. In our hearts, we can only wish that they could live forever. And that’s why we offer the freeze-drying option. Unlike traditional taxidermy, this process results in a more lifelike appearance of your departed pets.
Freeze-drying will not only leave your pet’s appearance similar to how they looked before passing, it will also retain your pet’s original size and shape, keeping the body firm and intact. While we recommend a lying down or sleeping position for your pets, we can also manage sitting up and standing poses depending on your pet’s size.
More importantly, you will be able to gently pet and carry your pet in this preserved state just like you did when they were alive. With consistent care, your pet’s memorial can last a lifetime.
Aquamation / Alkaline Hydrolysis
We want to pay our respects and treat our pets with honor when they pass, that’s why we have several options to achieve this, and one is by keeping mementos. Aquamation is a unique and environmentally responsible process that is also a more peaceful substitute to cremation. Aquamation uses a combination of gentle water flow, alkalinity, and temperature to accelerate the natural course of tissue hydrolysis. Unlike flame cremation, this process does not emit harmful greenhouse gases and utilizes 90% less energy.
This is a thoughtful way to treasure your deceased loved ones while promoting a healthier environment for everyone at the same time.
Additional Services
Aside from pet preservation and aquamation, it might also be a good idea to keep photos of your pet. These keepsakes are easier to maintain and may be brought anywhere with you. We also offer custom pet portrait service, which we ensure will portray your pets’ best moments.
We also provide plans that include skeletal articulation. Or instead of life size preservation, you can choose whether we will preserve a heart, skull, paw, or tail.
And lastly our wide array of urn designs that are sure to fit your preferences. Selected urns are complimentary when you purchase any of our plans.

What Is Pet Preservation?
Pet preservation freeze-drying is a process used to preserve our furry friends once they pass on. This process involves placing the pet in a sub-zero freezer, where it is frozen at an extremely low temperature. Once the body is frozen, it is placed in a vacuum chamber, where the ice crystals in the body are removed through a process called sublimation. This process removes all the moisture from the body, leaving behind a perfectly preserved pet. The body is then treated with a special solution to help maintain its shape and color.
