Honoring Life, Love, and the Unbreakable Bonds We Share with Our Pets
Ikaroa Falls is an eco-friendly pet aquamation facility located in Southern California, dedicated to providing compassionate support and personalized memorial services for pets and their owners. We are more than just a business; we are a tribute to the profound connection between pets and their families.
Inspired by the spirit of Ikaroa, the Cane Corso after whom we are named, our commitment is to provide dignified pet final care services through Aquamation, honoring the deep bond between pets and their families with respect, care, and integrity.
Why Choose
ikaroa falls?
We recognize the significant emotional distress pet owners face when their cherished companions pass away. We are building a trusted service designed to provide solace to those who have loved and lost while prioritizing the environment.
All Aquamation services are performed in-house at our National City, CA location so your pet never leaves our care.
A Commitment to Sustainability
We utilize Aquamation (alkaline hydrolysis), an eco-friendly process that uses water and alkali to break down organic matter. This method ensures a gentle, environmentally responsible farewell for beloved pets by producing significantly lower emissions and reducing energy use compared to traditional cremation. We cater to environmentally conscious pet owners who prioritize sustainability in their choices.
Veteran-Owned and Community Focused
We are the first veteran-owned pet crematorium in San Diego and surrounding areas. Embodying discipline and integrity, we are deeply committed to serving our community, including offering veteran and senior citizen discounts. Our owner, a proud US Navy Chief and licensed boat captain, allows us to provide dignified ash burials at sea.
Personalized Farewell Experiences
We offer bespoke memorial options that respect the planet. Our services focus on creating meaningful farewell experiences that honor the lives of pets. This includes individual pet aquamation and a range of personalized memorial products such as custom urns, paw prints, and memorial jewelry. We can even transform cremated remains into solidified stones through our Parting Stone service, offering a sustainable and tactile sense of comfort and closeness.
