Pet farewell: Redefining the way we say goodbye

A gentler farewell for the pets we call family

For many of us, pets are not just pets. They are family, companions, and part of our everyday lives. When the time comes to say goodbye, families deserve care that feels personal and gentle.

Gentle Waves was created from our own love for pets, and from the belief that every farewell should be handled with dignity, respect and compassion. As Auckland’s first dedicated pet aquamation service, we offer a gentler alternative to traditional flame cremation through a water-based process that is kinder to pets and the planet. Families choose Gentle Waves because every pet is cared for as an individual. We offer private aquamation, personalised farewell options, handcrafted urns, and meaningful keepsakes, while supporting families with warmth and honesty every step of the way.

What one client says: “I don't know how to put into words my gratitude for Erica and Summer at Gentle Waves. I have always been terrified of the idea of cremation. I never knew water was an option. Something drew me to Gentle Waves, and I am so thankful that it happened.” – Frink’s family

Our standard package includes individual auqmation, keepsakes (paw prints, nose prints, fur clippings), and a pet urn.
