About Norcross Award Program

The Norcross Award Program is an annual awards program...

The alkaline hydrolysis process has been around since 1888, but surprisingly, not many people have heard about it, and even fewer understand how it works. When you are facing the death of a pet, or have been surprised by the death of a pet, we understand that the last thing you want to think about is pet cremation, but Heavenly Paws Pet Aquamation wants to provide a way for you to honor your pet’s life.

Heavenly Paws in Peachtree Corners, outside of Atlanta, offers water cremation services, which is a natural alternative to traditional flame-based cremations. But what is water cremation? How does the alkaline hydrolysis process work? Keep reading to learn more, and contact our office today.

There are many concepts that children need to be taught as they grow older, everything from why it’s important to wash their hands, to why the sky is blue, and one of the most challenging concepts for a child is death and why pets or people die. We sincerely hope that you don’t need to explain death before your child may be ready, but as with many things in life, death is unpredictable.

If your family dog or cat has recently passed away, we are sorry for your loss. We know how hard it can be to lose someone who has been in your life for so long. We also understand the challenges that come with having to explain what happened to your pet to a young child. Along with our pet cremation services, Heavenly Paws Pet Aquamation is here to help with a variety of situations, including offering tips on how to talk to your child about the death of their beloved pet.

No one likes to think about having to put their beloved dog or cat down due to an illness or condition, but the unfortunate fact of life is that it does come to an end. Our furry companions offer so much love and adoration that when the time comes, it’s one of the most difficult situations. Many pet owners find comfort in the thought that their friend lived a wonderful life — they had the happiest days chasing balls in the yard, sticking their heads out the car window, or curling up in your lap for a nap. So even though there isn’t a way to turn back the clock, there is a way to make their end of life as comfortable as possible, and for you to honor them in death as well.

At Heavenly Paws Pet Aquamation, we offer a pet cremation option that uses a more natural process to cremate the body — aquamation, or alkaline hydrolysis. Using water and natural salts found in soil, your pet’s body will be placed into an alkali bath and broken down in a way that is similar to if they were buried. This process has been recognized for centuries (since 1888, in fact), but has only recently...

Heavenly Paws is water cremation.

How’s the old saying go’…if it ain’t broke don’t fix it….’,

but what if there is a better way and we are just not aware of it? When it comes to what happens to your pet when he or she passes there is now an alternative in the Metro Atlanta Area, Heavenly Paws Pet Aquamation.

Alkaline hydrolysis (aka Aquamation) is essentially an accelerated version of what takes place in natural decomposition. A combination of gentle water flow, low temperature, and alkalinity is used to accelerate the natural course of tissue hydrolysis. At the end of the process the body has been returned to its natural form, dissolved in the water. Remember – our bodies are 65% water to begin with! Similar to fire cremation, the only solid remains are the mineral ash of the bones.

The liquid byproduct actually has a preservative and beneficial effect on iron and steel pipes, and is not harmful to plastic pipes. A standard feature on the Aquamation system is an automated pH neutralization feature. The effluent is an excellent micronutrient package that...

Aquamation Is an Environmentally Friendly Alternative to Cremation

http://www.independent.com/news/2015/dec/18/dont-cremate-aquamate/

As a lifelong pet lover, I have had many beloved pets pass away. Each one of them I chose to cremate. At the time, I was unaware that cremation process releases toxic fumes into the atmosphere and requires considerable amounts of energy. Now there is a more eco-friendly option for disposing of your pets’ remains: aquamation.

Peaceful Pets Aquamation is the nation’s first 100 percent green and gentle alternative to cremation and the “pet project” of an award-winning television executive, Jerry Shevick.

Aquamation is an eco-friendly, water-based process that is similar to natural decomposition, utilizing alkaline hydrolysis to expedite the process. “Cremation is a violent, oxidative process, while aquamation is a gentle, reductive process,” explained Shevick. “One uses fire and the other uses water....

NORCROSS, GA (January 21, 2016)

For the first time in metro Atlanta there is a gentle and environmentally friendly way to take care of your pet after he or she passes away thanks to Heavenly Paws Pet Aquamation.

Until now, this natural, water-based cremation technology has been available only at veterinary colleges and other large institutions.

“As a pet parent and pet advocate, water cremation, or Aquamation, is how I want my pets to make their final journey,” said Randy Stewart, Owner and Founder of Heavenly Paws. “I wanted to bring this cleaner and gentler method of aftercare to our community to take care of our pets when they pass away. We and our pets are mainly water so what’s more natural than to leave the world in water?”

“The process creates remains that are much like sand and can be returned to the owner as a memorial,” said Dr. Alida Baroco of Town Center Animal Clinic. “In large metropolitan areas like ours, where space is limited and regulations may prohibit burial, water cremation is a great aftercare choice, now that Heavenly Paws has made...

Pet owners who want to have their deceased pets cremated, but don’t want to harm the environment in the process have a new option in metro Atlanta.

Norcross-based Heavenly Paws Pet Aquamation announced that it is one of the first companies in metro Atlanta, if not the first, to offer a water-based cremation option that had previously been offered primarily in large institutions such as veterinary colleges.

The process uses water flow, low temperatures and alkalinity to accelerate the natural process of decomposition, according to company officials. Heavenly Paws officials said the aquamation process eliminates the threat of dangerous emissions and greenhouses gases.

The process’ carbon footprint is about one-tenth of the impact made by traditional cremations, they said.

“I wanted to bring this cleaner and gentler method of aftercare to our community to take care of our pets when they pass away,” Heavenly Paws owner Randy Stewart said in a statement. “We and our pets are mainly water so what’s more natural than to leave the world in water?”
