About Eternal Tides, LLC

Eternal Tides, LLC is Fargo's pioneering pet aquamation and funeral services provider, founded by Curtis Sullivan and located at 4074 98th Avenue S, Fargo, ND 58104. Launched as an environmentally conscious alternative to flame-based cremation, Eternal Tides brought aquamation — also known as alkaline hydrolysis or water cremation — to the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo region for the first time. The business has received coverage from local media including WDAY, The Forum, and Fargo Inc!, establishing itself as a trusted, innovative option for pet families across the region. The facility itself was thoughtfully designed with soft lighting and sustainable materials, including recycled turf from a football field, to create a welcoming, calming environment.

Aquamation uses a combination of warm water, time, and a natural alkaline solution to gently break down organic material over approximately 18 to 20 hours — the same process as natural decomposition, but accelerated and controlled. The result is a fine, white powder similar to cremation remains, though families typically receive about 20% more cremains compared to flame cremation. The process uses roughly 10% of the energy of traditional cremation, produces no harmful emissions, and fully neutralizes pathogens. Eternal Tides serves families in Fargo, Moorhead, West Fargo, and surrounding communities.

What to Expect

The aquamation process at Eternal Tides typically takes 7 to 10 days from the time of pickup to the return of your pet's remains. You can arrange for your pet to be picked up from a participating veterinary clinic, brought directly to the facility, or collected from your home within about 20 miles of Fargo for a small additional fee. Each individual aquamation ensures that only your pet's remains are returned to you, carefully tracked from start to finish. Remains are then placed in your choice of urn or vessel, with custom engraving options available. For families who want to gather and honor their pet together, Eternal Tides' memorial space — designed to feel like an indoor park — accommodates intimate gatherings or larger memorial services. The facility also offers a private comfort room as a peaceful alternative to at-home or in-clinic euthanasia, available by appointment.
