Pet Cremation and Aquamation for Families in Portland
Compassionate Care provides pet aquamation for families in Portland, whether your pet passes at home or after an in-home euthanasia appointment.
Individual Cremation
Your pet is individually cremated and their cremains are returned to you.
Communal Cremation
Your pet is respectfully cremated alongside other pets, and communal cremains are scattered for you.
What is Aquamation?
Aquamation is an environmentally-friendly cremation process that uses approximately 95% water and 5% alkali to gently break down the body. Unlike traditional flame-based cremation, Aquamation is a slower, gentler process that is similar to natural decomposition.

What Our Clients Are Saying
4.8 stars from 900+ verified reviews
The professional and caring team at Compassionate Care made a very sad circumstance better. They provided a peaceful end to our beloved Finn in our home. Beth P., DVM provided a sense of calm, dignity, respect, and efficiency....for which we are grateful. Joseph W. who collected Finn afterwards was equally caring and respectful.
Hopefully, you won't need their services any time soon, but when you do they're the ones to call.
Thomas Mannix
Enormous gratitude for Dr. Wong. She came in the night and was kind, gentle, and conscientious. Our beloved Dobby was always terrified of being handled by veterinarians...
Susan Remmers & Gillian Leichtling
We will never be able to give enough stars to this company. They accommodated us twice in moving our appointment to an earlier date and time, without any hesitation.
Greg Harris and Steve Kopkau
It’s been almost 24 hours since Jess departed, and I’ve already given your company’s name to several friends who will be facing that difficult decision in the months to come, and I will continue to sing your praises. His dog groomer and I have become good friends and I’ll be sure to give your card to her so she can pass it along to her many clients who will eventually need your services...
