An environmentally friendly and gentler alternative to traditional flame cremation, the end result is the same with water cremation. How this process differs from flame cremation is that it uses a mixture of water and a gentle detergent process to return the body to its natural elements. This same process has been used by major universities and hospitals for decades as a form of disposition of anatomical remains (cadavers) and also for animal remains. Families often describe water cremation as a calm and peaceful end-of-life option for their loved one with the use of water, rather than flame.

Water Cremation uses 90% less energy than flame based cremation, relying on electricity rather than fossil fuels. This results in significantly lower carbon footprint and the elimination of harmful airborne emissions. In addition to its environmental benefits, medical implants such as pacemakers and joint replacements remain in excellent sterile condition and can be safely and appropriately recycled. This prevents valuable resources from being burned or destroyed by the intense heat. Water Cremation is an excellent choice for those who are passionate about the environment.
