About Evvi Aftercare & Aquamation
Founded in 2016 by sisters Darci Bernard and Joslin Roth, Resting Waters Aquamation pioneered environmentally friendly pet aftercare and water cremation in Seattle. As the first of its kind in the city, Resting Waters created a beautiful, compassionate space where families could honor their beloved animals with the same care and dignity given to humans—helping redefine what pet end-of-life care could be. In 2024, Resting Waters joined forces with Evvi Aftercare to expand access to water cremation across Seattle, with an emphasis on growing veterinary partnerships. Together, Evvi and Resting Waters opened a second facility in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle in 2025.

The first night
The rule: nothing has to be decided tonight, except one thing.
Read tonight's cardClose the card
If they are still at home with you
The one thing to decide tonight is where they rest until morning. That is all.
- Lay them on a towel or a blanket in the coolest room you have: a laundry room, a garage, a tiled floor. Not the car.
- If you can, settle them on their side with the legs gently tucked, the way they slept. Do this soon rather than later. Within a few hours the body stiffens, and it becomes harder to move them with care.
- A little fluid can release. One towel underneath and one folded over is enough. This is normal, and it is not a sign that anything was done wrong.
- In a cool room they can stay overnight and through tomorrow. If it is warm where you are, wrap them in the blanket and then a large bag, and use the coolest space you have.
- Collar on or collar off. Either is fine. Many people take it off tonight and are glad later that they did.
If they died at the vet's
Then the where is already handled, and there is nothing you have to do tonight. The clinic will keep them safely until you have chosen what happens next. You can call in the morning. Card 4 covers what you can still ask the clinic for: time with them, a paw print, the collar back.
What you do not have to do tonight
- Choose a crematory. Tomorrow is fine. Almost every crematory collects within a day, and the person who answers the phone has heard every version of this call. Card 3 has the eight questions to ask.
- Decide private or communal. Card 2, when you are ready.
- Tell everyone. Tell the people in the house. Everyone else can wait until tomorrow, or next week.
- Move anything. The bowl, the bed, the leash by the door: leave them exactly where they are. Card 7 is for when you want it, and there is no deadline.
What to say in the house tonight
To a child: "[Name] died today. Her body stopped working and the vet could not fix it. It was not anyone's fault. We are going to be sad for a while, and that is okay." Then stop talking and let them ask. Card 6 has more, by age.
To each other: nothing clever. "I am so sad" is a complete sentence.
One small thing, if you want one
Sit with them for a few minutes. Tell them one thing you will miss. Turn off the light.
That is a goodbye, and it counts. A fuller one can come later, and card 16 will help. Tonight, this is enough.
If tonight feels like more than you can carry, card 25 has people who answer the phone at this hour.
