Resting Waters, located in West Seattle, is a heart-based business that provides an alternative form of cremation for cherished companion animals through alkaline hydrolysis, also known as aquamation. This process is much better for the earth than traditional flame-based cremation. The business is comparable in price to standard services and offers a hybrid care approach, guiding families through in-home ritual and services along with offering space at their center, which is considered the most family-centric and beneficial approach to deathcare. Services include viewings, aquamation witnessing, and funeral and memorial services. The team at Resting Waters is consistently described as amazing, wonderful, kind, patient, comforting, understanding, and an extremely comforting presence. They are soothing and accommodating during difficult and emotional times, answering all questions and putting families at ease. Their genuine care, kindness, and incomparable compassion help families feel welcomed and comfortable. The thoughtful care extends to tasteful offerings like quality paw imprints, fur clippings, and a selection of beautiful urns, all packaged with consideration. Reviewers highlight that the staff makes them feel that their pet is lovingly cared for and honored, never treated as "just a dog." The process allows families the time they need for final goodbyes, even permitting personal rituals. For these reasons, Resting Waters is highly and repeatedly recommended, with many stating they have earned customers for life and are simply above the rest in pet funeral services.
Resting Waters is simply above the rest when coming to pet funeral services. Our pet chinchilla, Sterling, recently died, and Kale made us feel welcomed and comfortable. It was very warm and inviting when we walked in, and we were able to have a small wake for our pet to say our final goodbyes. We would highly recommend.

I received the call to come pick up my beloved girl. The last thing that was said to me was "I'll take care of her for you." It was a comfort to know how important and valued she is to me.
