Water Cremation
Water Cremation
A Gentle, Environmentally Friendly Alternative to Traditional Cremation
Water cremation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis or aquamation, is an alternative to traditional flame cremation. This gentle process uses water, heat, and an alkaline solution to accelerate the natural process of decomposition, returning clean bone remains to the family in much the same way as traditional cremation.
