     CycledLife: A Gift to the Living 

Let’s explore why CycledLife is vastly superior to the alternative means for a final disposition of a body. Consider the impact of the various means of disposing of a pet's body on friends, family, and other animals. With CycledLife, substances contained in the body are returned to the earth in their basic elemental forms. CycledLife consumes 90% less fossil fuel and emits 94% less carbon dioxide, compared to cremation. 

     Cremation Alternative

To privately cremate a fifty-pound pet requires the consumption of about a million BTUs of finite fossil fuel. About 96% of a cremated pet's body is discharged from a smokestack into our air. Pets' bodies are turned into pollution. Each 30 pound pet is reduced to 160 pounds of carbon dioxide, water vapors, floating bits of body particles, toxins, carcinogens, and other undesirable substances. After exposing a body to temperatures in excess of 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit for a couple hours, a cremationist collects what little is left of the charred body, the ashes.

Cremating bodies fails to honor the world in which one's pet lived. As the number of cremations grows at an alarming rate, deceased pets impose a growing and heavy burden on the living.

Many cremation services sell "private" or "individual" cremations, when their service offering is actually a communal separated cremation. This deceptive business practice results in the return of commingled ashes. The Association of Private Pet Cemeteries & Crematoria states, "crematories place several pets into a cremation chamber with some form of separation where a certain amount of mixing of ashes naturally occurs." If you choose cremation and desire to receive your own pet's ashes, ask to observe the process to ensure you are not being deceived. If you have been taken, consider seeking damages from these unscrupulous cremationists.    

     Burial Alternative

Burial in a pet cemetery is the most burdensome in terms of financial costs and in resources consumed to maintain these special landfills for the dead.

Cemeteries have become increasing more burdensome and undesirable for communities. No one wants these special landfills for the dead in their backyards - rightfully so. Once a body is buried, the final disposition of the body continues through a putrefaction process. Within four-weeks, the unsterile soft tissue begins to liquefy and enter the soil and aquifers. Buried bodies remain infectious, posing health risks to the living by entering our water supplies, according to the World Health Organization. Scientific research indicates that as many as 19 million Americans may become ill each year due to the parasites, viruses and bacteria in drinking water.

Home burials involving euthanized pets pose a high risk to the living. The sodium pentobarbital used in euthanasia can kill other animals that come in contact with a buried pet. CycledLife neutralize this biocide; whereas, burial does not.

     CycledLife

CycledLife is better for the living. It is an ecological, new way to avoid the harm caused by cremation. A pet remain is secured in an individual shroud. The CycledLife vessel contains multiple shrouded remains, water and potassium (the same mineral farmers use on their fields). The vessel is heated to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. After about 11-hours, the pet's bones contained in the shroud are pure-white in color. As none of the bones were incinerated, a pet's urn would contain about 25% more remains than with cremation. In sharp contrast to cremation, an urn only contains the sole remains from a single pet, with no commingled charred body parts. The soft tissue undergoes an accelerated decomposition, similar to that of an interred body. With CycledLife, the body's soft tissue, comprised of about 70% water, becomes completely safe. The sterile soft tissue contains no genetic identifiers, DNA. The decomposed soft tissue is given back to the earth, letting a pet's body participate in the circle of life.  

We would be grateful if you were to share with your friends and family the good news about In the Circle of Life's CycledLife.
