What is Water Cremation/Alkaline Hydrolysis
Alkaline Hydrolysis or Water Cremation is an environmentally friendly end of life alternative to flame-based cremation, that simulates nature’s own burial processes in an accelerated form by using gentle water flow, agitation, warming and alkaline additives.

Your Pet’s Journey
Make Contact
An exchange of you and your pet’s details takes place and is used to create your pet’s own unique identification that will stay with them throughout their entire journey with us.
Collection & Arrival
From the moment we take your pet into our care we honour and respect them with dignity throughout their journey with us.
Memorabilia & Cremation
At this stage we take paw imprints, hair clippings and make any other memorabilia arrangements you request.
Ready for Home
We will contact you as soon as your pet’s ashes are ready to be collected or personally returned by us to your home.

What Our Clients Say About Us
Gentle Waters Pet Cremation treated our boy with respect from the time he passed up until he was returned to us at home. We were so thankful to have had Our Pet’s Goodbye put our Bear to sleep, and to take him away for cremation with Gentle Waters. It was a great comfort to discuss his cremation with Nicola before he passed, and to see her afterwards to collect his ashes.
Bear Dog was a bubbly boy, with the most overwhelming love of tennis balls. He kept our family company for over 15 years, and he now finally lays in peace.
Saying goodbye is never easy. Let US HELP.
