What Is Aqua Cremation?

Aqua cremation, also known as water cremation, Aquamation, or alkaline hydrolysis, is an alternative method of final disposition. It is an eco-friendly process that uses a combination of water, gentle agitation, and alkali salts to accelerate the process of what happens naturally as the body breaks down.

Aqua cremation is gaining popularity as it offers a greener alternative to traditional flame-based cremation, saving 90% more energy, producing fewer greenhouse gases and harmful emissions while ensuring a gentle and serene process for your loved one's remains.


Learn about the process below.

The Aqua Cremation Process

Preparation

Your loved one is respectfully positioned within a specially designed stainless steel vessel

Introducing Water and Alkali

A carefully measured mixture of water and alkali salts is added to the vessel, which raises the alkalinity of the water

Sealing and Activation

The vessel is securely sealed, and the aqua cremation process is set into motion

Organic Breakdown

The gentle warm water movement within the vessel facilitates the efficient breakdown of the body's organic materials

Honoring the Departed's Remains

Following the aqua cremation process, the remaining bone fragments are carefully retrieved

Cremated Remains Processing

Similar to traditional cremation, the bone fragments are processed further into a fine ash suitable for memorial purposes

Eco-Friendly Liquid Solution

The aqua cremation process leaves behind a sterile liquid solution which is entirely safe and eco-friendly

Honoring the Ecosystem

The water is responsibly treated, before safely returning it into our ecosystem
