Body Care Options

If you choose to bury your pet on your property in Colorado, there are a few guidelines that must be followed:

• The burial property must be outside the city limits and belong to you or someone who has granted permission for the burial
• Burial sites must be covered with a minimum of 3 feet of soil – usually requiring a site 4 feet deep
• Burials must be at least 150 feet from any water supply sources and downgradient from any groundwater supply
• Be aware of tree roots or buried power lines when digging

• Don’t forget to check your local county ordinances as well

​Traditional flame-based cremation is also available as a private or communal service.

Communal cremation means the ashes will not be returned to families.

Private cremation means your pet’s ashes will be returned to you.

We work with Lasting Paws for flame cremation.

Aquamation (water-based cremation) is an emerging form of body care that is gentler to the environment. Also known as alkaline hydrolysis, water reduction, bio-cremation, green cremation, and flame-less cremation, Aquamation offers a more sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to traditional cremation/

Private and communal services are available using aquamation:

• A communal aquamation means the ashes will not be returned to families
• Private aquamation means your pet’s ashes will be returned to you
• Private chambers reside within the machine providing a complete barrier among individual pets
• Two container options will be available for the return of your pet’s ashes
