If you have only ever experienced traditional flame cremation, the transition to Alkaline Hydrolysis (Aquamation) offers a profound and beautiful difference—one that we believe honors the "purest" memory of your companion.

When people think of the ultimate companion, they usually think of a dog or a cat. But here at Ikaroa Falls, we’re firm believers that some of the most profound bonds in life come with a beak and a very high opinion of themselves.

It is never easy to say goodbye to a family member who happens to have paws, scales, or feathers. We often think of funeral services as something only for people, but more and more pet parents are finding comfort in creating a special moment to celebrate the incredible bond they shared with their best friends.

Losing a pet can be one of the hardest experiences in a child’s life.

Here are some thoughtful, research-backed ways to support your child through this difficult time.

The process of Aquamation is deeply aligned with values that have guided Native American traditions for centuries—values rooted in balance, gratitude, and reverence for all living things.

When a beloved pet passes away, the decisions that follow are deeply personal. More families are learning that there’s a gentler, more environmentally friendly option than traditional flame cremation — a process called Aquamation (also known as alkaline hydrolysis).
