About Tranquil Tides

Our Commitment to Individual Care and Trust

We honestly thought we were ready to retire, slow down, and spend time with our own nine fur faces. However, our true calling was not finished. When the vision for Tranquil Tides Pet Aquamation came to life, we took the leap and never looked back.

Pet aquamation gives us a meaningful way to give back to Mother Nature, our planet, and the community. Our family remains dedicated to guiding you through pet loss. We are honored to help you celebrate the special bond you shared with your companion.

What to Expect with Gentle Pet Aquamation

At Tranquil Tides, we offer both individual and communal aquamation services to meet your family’s needs:

• Individual Pet Aquamation: Your pet stays in a private chamber throughout the process. We guarantee that we return only your pet’s remains to you. You can safely display, scatter, or bury the ashes.

• Communal Pet Aquamation: Your pet shares the chamber with other companions. While no remains are returned to your family, their ashes are respectfully scattered in a private garden.

Our 100% Identification & Tracking Guarantee We attach a dedicated ID tag to your pet the moment they enter our care. This tag stays with them through the entire process, ensuring total accuracy and peace of mind.

Why Families Choose Pet Aquamation Over Flame Cremation

More and more pet parents are choosing gentle water cremation over traditional flame pet cremation. We are always here to help you explore your options and decide what feels right for your family.

We encourage you to call us directly to share memories of your best friend and ask any questions. You are also welcome to visit us by appointment at our peaceful facility in Nixa, Missouri. We are just a short drive from Springfield and serving communities across Southwest Missouri and Northern Arkansas.

Helpful Guidance When Your Pet Passes Away

Tranquil Tides Pet Aquamation is here to assist you through pet loss, whether your precious companion is furry, scaled, feathered, or swimming.

• If Your Pet Passes Away at Home: Wrap them gently in a favorite blanket and keep them in a cool area. Call us right away—we offer compassionate home pick-up services, or you can schedule an appointment to drop off your beloved pet at our serene Nixa facility.

• If Your Pet Passes Away at the Vet: Contact us to discuss your options, and inform your veterinary clinic that you choose Tranquil Tides. You will simply need to complete our Pet Aquamation Authorization and Release Form and provide a printable copy to your vet so we can arrange transport (stretcher service provided if needed).

If your pet passes outside normal business hours, there is little risk to keeping the body for up to 24 hours wrapped in a blanket in a cool, dry place with something absorbent underneath them.

As a tribute to police K-9 or military dogs, your loved ones are complementary for the service they provide to our community and nation.
