Alkaline Hydrolysis, Resomation, Aquamation,
Flameless Cremation, Water Cremation, Etc...

Instead of using fire, a combination of gentle water flow, temperature, and alkalinity are used to accelerate the breakdown of organic materials.

The process is on average 3-4 hours long.  Once complete the pure white bone ash that remains is returned to the family in an urn as happens with flame based cremation.

​

Some things to think about while considering Water Cremation:

​

• Over 90% energy savings when compared to flame-based cremation.

• No burning of fossil fuels.

• No direct emissions of harmful greenhouse gases or mercury.

• 20% more ash remains returned to the family.
