Understanding Water Cremation

Water Cremation, or alkaline hydrolysis, is a respectful process that uses water and an alkaline solution to accelerate natural decomposition, leaving behind only the bones. This method is recognized for its gentle approach and minimal environmental impact.

Honoring a life while respecting the Earth

Water cremation, also known as Alkaline Hydrolysis and Aquamation, is a water-based process that reduces the body to its basic elements without exposure to fossile fuels.

Water Cremation requires less water than the average family goes through in a single day, and the environmental impact is minimal.

A gentle and dignified treatment of the body

The water-based process uses much lower temperatures than flame cremation and does not expose the body to fossil fuels.

As with flame cremation, cremated remains are returned in an urn.

All Water Cremations are performed by knowledgeable and caring staff in a clean, state-of-the-art facility that meets the highest quality standards.
