Water Cremation

Water cremation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis or aquamtion, is a modern and environmentally kind alternative to traditional flame cremation. This gentle process uses 95% water and 5% potassium, along with warmth, to minor nature's way of returning a body to the earth.

Water cremation is kinder to the planet and to your family. Unlike flame cremation, it uses significantly less energy and produces no harmful emissions. It’s a peaceful process that aligns with a love for nature, sustainability, and leaving a legacy of care for the environment.

Water cremation naturally breaks down the body using water, heat, and an alkaline solution. Everything except the skeletal remains and any medical implants is gently transformed into a nutrient-rich, sterile liquid that is safe to return to the Earth.

The remains are dried and refined into a fine powder, much like traditional cremation ashes, and are returned to you in a beautiful urn. Any implants, like pacemakers or joint replacements, are responsibly recycled, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

The water used in the alkaline hydrolysis process is returned to the ecosystem through the standard wastewater treatment system, similar to the procedure followed by all funeral homes in the United States during the embalming process. This process creates a sterile solution containing amino acids, sugars, nutrients, salts, and soap, which are natural byproducts of decomposition.

Water cremation takes about 14-18 hours. This thoughtful process ensures we care for one loved one at a time, providing individual attention and respect that reflects your family’s wishes.
