Natural
Mid-Michigan's Preferred End Of Life Service Provider With Pet Aquamation
Aquamation, also known as water-based cremation, is a gentle and compassionate alternative to traditional flame cremation. This eco-friendly process mirrors nature’s own way of returning a body to the earth, using water and natural salts to softly break down your pet’s body, just as it would if buried in the ground.
At its heart, aquamation honors the bond you shared by providing a peaceful and respectful way to say goodbye. Unlike fire cremation, there’s no harsh flames—only the soothing embrace of water, which feels like a reflection of the love and care you gave your pet throughout their life. The remains from this process are more plentiful and pure, allowing you to have a lasting keepsake that represents your pet in a meaningful way.
It’s not just about a final act; it’s about honoring the journey you’ve shared, and aquamation provides a process that is both kind to the earth and gentle on the heart.
Our Gentle & Compassionate Process Sets Us Apart!
Honor Your Pet with Eco-Friendly Water Cremation
Individual pet aquamation is a water-based, eco-friendly alternative to conventional flame cremation. Every pet entrusted to our care receives an individual aquamation, meaning only your loved one’s remains are returned to you. Once your family member is in Nature’s Way’s care, they will be ready to return home in approximately 7-10 days. Some custom urns and memorial items may take longer to be prepared, and you are always welcome to pick items up as they become available. We encourage you to contact us at any time for updates on your loved ones status on their journey as we understand the anxiety that can come from the unknown and waiting process.
We offer free pick-up from local vet offices, and in-home pick-up is available with pricing based on distance and your pet's size. There are no additional charges for nights, weekends, or holidays, ensuring compassionate care whenever you need it.

What is Aquamation?
Most environmental issues are caused by our daily living, but have you ever thought about the impact of death on the environment?
Aquamation, or alkaline hydrolysis, offers a greener alternative to traditional cremation. By using a combination of water and potassium hydroxide, it gently dissolves the body in a process that uses only half the energy of flame-based cremation. Unlike traditional methods, aquamation doesn’t release toxic gasses or harmful air pollutants, making it a more eco-friendly and compassionate choice for both your loved one and the planet.
Nature's Way Pet Aquamation
From the pawrents: "I can't thank Drew at Nature’s Way Pet Aquamation enough for helping us through this difficult time and being a light in a time of need. He truly is a compassionate and professional pet aftercare business that I would highly recommend to anyone who has lost a beloved pet family member."

From the pawrents: "Drew was very compassionate and quickly responded when our family knew it was time for our cat to cross the rainbow bridge. He recommended Dr. Lisa for aiding in allowing our baby to pass peacefully rather than in pain. Even with him on vacation, he has aided our family through the entire process. He provides amazing memorial products. They are very well priced for services in taking care of our fur baby! We know Aries is in good hands!"

From the pawrents: "We can't thank Drew enough for making one of the most painful and difficult experience we have faced as peaceful and perfect as possible. Our sweet boy Sumo had an aggressive terminal cancer and when the time came to say good bye, Drew and Dr. Lisa were there for us immediatly. Sumo fell ill on a Sunday, over a holiday weekend. We were able to say goodbye in our yard, in one of Sumos favorite spots peacefully. The empathy and care Drew and Dr. Lisa have are beyond words in a situation like this. I can't thank them enough."
SUMO
4/5
From the pawrents: "Nature’s Way were so helpful in navigating the difficult choice to help my sweet cat pass quickly and peacefully in our home with their at home euthanasia. As awful as it was, the owner Drew and the vet were so compassionate and caring and so delicate from the first email, all the way to making sure my kitty was properly cared for after the process. I look forward to not needing their services for a while, but when the need arises, I’ll only be calling them."
SUSHI
5/5
From the pawrents: "I could not have asked for anyone better to handle my puppers remains. Drew and AJ were so sweet and compassionate. They gave us all the time we needed and wanted to say good bye. I would recommend their services to anyone. They are also fairly priced and they respond super fast."
