Oops the Woof Market is postponed to 26th July due to the wild weather!

Stay dry and warm everyone, and be safe!

A tribute to our tiny pocket sized friends. Our smallest pets are so incredibly fragile, they require an entirely different level of care. Without harsh fire or forceful drafts, water is the only way to safely preserve their delicate little bones, allowing us to return the comfort right back to your hands.

Come and see us at the Woof Market this Saturday at Kai Tahi. Chat to us about this amazing gentle aftercare process.

Did you know we can help to arrange for a very experienced and trusted local vet to come to our quiet farewell room here in Tawa, gently helping your pet find their final rest?

This allows your pet to pass peacefully on a soft blanket in a private, peaceful and unhurried space. Once they transition, they are already safely in our care, saving you from having to drive anywhere else. (Of course, we can still collect from your local vet clinic if you prefer!)

Just putting this out there for anyone who might need a quieter option.

Where's your fur babies' favourite spot to hang out in Wellington?

They sniffed through our trails, Makara and Mt Kaukau. They loved running on the waterfront, Petone, Red Rocks, or maybe Kapiti coast.

Choosing a farewell that protects the nature our fur babies loved just makes sense.

Using a gentle flow of warm water instead of fire, aquamation leaves an incredible soft footprint on the earth. There is merely any carbon output and less than 10% energy used compared to flame. It is a quiet comfort knowing we honour the beautiful nature we live in. A peaceful, respectful and natural return is what settles many hearts.

It is a choice made out of love for our fur babies, out of respect for the environment we share with them. and a gentle tribute to a life well lived and forever loved.

Our families choose aquamation because it offers the most gentle farewell. Gentle to our pet babies, gentle to our environment; and gentle to our hearts, knowing it is a quiet return to nature and the beautiful start of a new life cycle. Escorted by a soothing flow, they leave this world surrounded by the same protective embrace they entered it with.

A gentle farewell. A peaceful circle of life.

The storm in the past week certainly reminded us who the boss is with the wild weather! The calm that follows always feels a little more precious on a Saturday arvo like this. We hope everyone weathered the storm safely.

My schnauzer girl, aka the Ambassador of Aquafare, was too sassy to even consider getting her paws wet for a toilet break outside last few days. There were a lot of very disapproving looks (like this one in the photo) aimed at the backyard. Sitting down with a warm drink today and watching her finally get to roll around on the dry lawn is such a simple but incredibly satisfying moment of life.

Did yours bravely faced the rain, or you also got the "I am absolutely NOT going out in that" look?

Wellington's first pet's funeral home and aquamation services

17/04/2026

If keeping them close to home brings peace of mind to you and your whanau, we got you.

Our aquamation facility is located onsite, right here in Tawa. This means from the moment your pet comes into our care, they stay with us until they come home to you. There is no out-of-town transport, no third party, just continuous, dignified care and love from us.

We can arrange a gentle transfer directly from your home or vet clinic to us here: www.aquafare.co.nz/arrange-care

Get in touch with Aquafare today to discuss about our services. We're here to support.
