Green Heart Pet Water Cremation

About Green Heart Pet Water Cremation

Green Heart Pet Water Cremation is a Wheat Ridge, Colorado pet aftercare provider founded and operated by Dr. Megan Niedens, a hospice veterinarian whose background in end-of-life animal care informs every aspect of the business. Located at 9751 W 44th Avenue, Green Heart specializes exclusively in water cremation — a process that mirrors the way organic material decomposes naturally in soil, using water rather than flame. The result is a gentle, clean procedure that produces no harmful pollutants, no carbon emissions, and no greenhouse gases, while consuming less than 10% of the energy required by traditional cremation.

Green Heart's commitment to environmental stewardship extends beyond the cremation process itself: for every companion animal in their care, the company plants a tree through the Arbor Day Foundation. The nutrient-rich water produced during aquamation can be used to fertilize fields, pastures, flowers, or trees, making the process genuinely circular and restorative. Dr. Niedens built Green Heart around a mission of honoring lost companions while simultaneously preserving the planet — striving, as their tagline describes, to leave only a small pawprint on the Earth.
