1. Ownership & Authorization
I certify that I am the legal owner, or a duly authorized agent for the owner, of the pet named above, and that I have full legal right to authorize euthanasia, aquamation (alkaline hydrolysis), and/or cremation for this animal.
I hereby authorize Dr. Grace Krzan of Graceful Journey LLC, along with any authorized agents, staff, or representatives, to humanely euthanize the above-named animal. I further authorize Graceful Journey LLC to arrange for Water Bridge Aquamation to perform aquamation, or Lasting Paws Pet Memorial Services to perform cremation, and final disposition of my pet's remains, in a manner consistent with professional standards and applicable laws within the City and County of Denver, Colorado.
2. Aquamation/Cremation Process & Disposition
I understand that aquamation (alkaline hydrolysis) and cremation are irreversible and final processes that gently reduce the body to mineral ash. I authorize Water Bridge Aquamation or Lasting Paws Pet Memorial Services, whichever applies, to handle and perform this process. I understand that if my pet's remains go unclaimed after 90 days, they may be disposed of in a respectful, non-recoverable manner such as scattering. I acknowledge that Water Bridge Aquamation and Lasting Paws Pet Memorial Services each use a permanent ID tracking system to help ensure the proper return of remains.
3. Rabies Certification (Required by Colorado State Law)
I certify that my response above regarding whether this animal has bitten a person or animal, or been exposed to rabies, within the past 10 days is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand that if my pet has bitten a person or animal, or been exposed to rabies, within this period, the animal must be tested for rabies after euthanasia, and remains cannot be returned unless authorized following testing.
4. Liability Release & Agreement
I agree to release, indemnify, and hold harmless Graceful Journey LLC, Water Bridge Aquamation, Lasting Paws Pet Memorial Services, and their respective members, managers, agents, staff, successors, affiliates, and employees from any and all liability, claims, losses, damages, demands, attorneys' fees, or costs, whether known or unknown, anticipated or not, arising from or related to the euthanasia, aquamation, cremation, and handling of remains. No warranties, express or implied, are made. Any damages shall be limited to the fees paid for these services.
This writing includes the parties' entire agreement and understanding of the subject matter hereof. This agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to its subject matter.
This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of Colorado.
By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read, understood, and agree to the terms above, and I authorize Graceful Journey LLC, Water Bridge Aquamation, and Lasting Paws Pet Memorial Services to proceed accordingly.
