Our aftercare is provided personally by us, using gentler, greener, water-based cremation.

AFTERCARE

At Faithful Hearts, we handle all of our own aftercare via aquamation with our sister company, Furever Faithful Pet Aquamation. Aquamation is environmentally responsible, energy efficient, water-based cremation. During aquamation, gentle flow of warm water and alkaline salts are used to transform your pet into the same cremains (except you get back up to 20% more of your pet!) you receive with flame cremation.

Learn about the process of aquamation (more here)!

What type of aquamation do you want for your pet?

Individual cremation is when multiple animals are each placed in their own chamber and a cycle is run, so that every pet's aqua-remains stay completely separated and you are able to get just your pet back. Private cremation is when your pet is placed in the machine and an entire daily cycle is run with them alone. While the difference is symbolic, we think that it is important to be transparent with families about this distinction. Communal cremation is group cremation, which is why it does not allow for any ashes to be returned and why it is a lower cost option.

The 20-24 hour cycle used to cremate pets with the gentler process of aquamation is in comparison to the typical 45min-2 hour cycle (at 1400-1800 F) used with flame cremation. This means while flame crematoriums can and often do assist tens to hundreds of pets a day, we instead focus on providing the highest-quality care, with an unmatched attention to detail, to a limited number of pets on a daily basis.

Please call or text if wanting more information about private aquamation.

**For those choosing INDIVIDUAL AQUAMATION, typically pets are ready in 7-10 days.

The fastest option will be to pick up at our office by appointment or at your convenience via our Reunion Room

(107 W Greer St, Honea Path, SC 29654).

You may also choose to pick up your pet at their primary veterinary clinic, in which case most pets will be delivered within 1-2 weeks. PLEASE NOTE, not all clinics are able to accept return of their patients for families to pick up from them, so if this is an important consideration for you we ask that you check with us to ensure we are able to deliver to the clinic.

Alternatively we offer upgrading to hand delivery to your home (price depends on distance) if available for your address. If selecting hand delivery, please allow up to 2-3 weeks, although most pets will be delivered in 1-2 weeks.

COMPLIMENTARY URN CHOICES

We know that as a beloved family member, the urn your pet is placed in following their aftercare is important. That is why we offer a selection of complimentary beautiful urns for the companions we aquamate.

***Please note that if your pet is too large to fit in the largest size of any chosen urn, we will package the rest of your pet's remains in a velvet bag in order to return your entire pet to you.***

*Communal cremains are spread in a

beautiful place! The wind rustling through the trees makes it incredibly peaceful and the ashes help the trees grow. We do everything we can to be a environmentally friendly small business!!

Unfortunately as this is private property you cannot visit. In the future we hope to be able to purchase land to turn into a site for spreading communal remains so that families have a place to visit their loved ones. We are picturing a natural pathway through woods with benches and easily accessible for all!
