Cremation is a time-honored method of afterlife care, using heat and flame. Creekside has been providing compassionate cremation services since 2008.
Families may choose between two service options: Private Cremation and Communal Cremation.
Only one pet is respectfully placed in the crematory chamber and cremated. The ashes returned to the family are exclusively those of their beloved companion.
Multiple pets are gently placed in the crematory chamber and cremated together, without separation. While ashes are not returned to families, Creekside honors each life by returning the shared remains to nature.
Aquamation also known as Alkaline Hydrolyisis or water cremation, is a gentle, eco-friendly, and deeply respectful alternative to traditional flame-cremation. Aquamation uses a warm water solution and natural alkali to return your pet’s body to nature – just as it would over time in the earth, but in a matter of hours.
Families have a choice of two service options: Individual Aquamation and Communal Aquamation.
When families choose individual aquamation, the ashes returned are exclusively those of their beloved companion.
Your pet is gently placed into their own separate, enclosed, and partitioned compartment within the aquamation chamber – This careful separation guarantees that pets remain fully isolated during the water cycle process.
Complete identity protection is ensured with the exclusive return of just your pet – and only your pet’s ashes.
Multiple pets are gently placed in the aquamation chamber and aquamated together, without separation. While ashes are not returned to families, Creekside honors each life by returning the shared remains to nature.
Creekside partners with Dr. Shannon Shuttle, DVM, to offer humane and compassionate end-of-life care in the comfort of your own home. This service allows your pet to pass peacefully in a familiar setting, surrounded by love.
The process begins with a consultation to ensure you have all the information needed to make a shared, thoughtful decision about your companion’s care. If you choose to proceed, transportation to Creekside’s facility is included as part of the service.
Costs vary depending on your pet’s size and location, and will be discussed during your telephone consultation.
We believe memorials should be as meaningful as the lives they honor. That’s why we offer hand-built urns, crafted with care by local artisans. These pieces are available only through Creekside, ensuring a memorial as special as your pet.

We offer sealed urns and flip top urns to include not only your pet’s cremated remains but also a cherished toy or item of your pet. Special order photo urns are also available.
An in-house laser engraver allows us to custom engrave your chosen urn with names or a personal message. We are with you every step of the way to create your unique keepsake.
Hand made by a local artist with care our glass cremation jewelry pieces are available in a wide variety of colors and patterns.
