A Natural, Earth-Friendly Farewell — also known as alkaline hydrolysis or water cremation - is a gentle, sustainable alternative to traditional flame cremation and burial. Instead of using fire, Aquamation® uses a warm water solution and natural alkalis to return the body to its elemental form, closely mimicking the natural decomposition process that occurs in soil over time.

Aquamation® is the most environmentally responsible farewell available today. Here's why:

✅ No Harmful Emissions

Unlike flame cremation, Aquamation® produces no smoke, mercury, or carbon dioxide—protecting the air we breathe and the climate we share.

✅ Minimal Energy Use

Aquamation® uses up to 90% less energy than traditional cremation, making it one of the gentlest options for the planet.

✅ Water-Safe & Non-Toxic

The process produces a sterile, nutrient-rich solution that’s safely removed —containing no chemicals, DNA, or toxins.

✅ No Caskets or Embalming

No need for hardwood caskets or embalming fluids, reducing waste.

✅ Gentle on the Earth

With soft ashes and zero environmental burden, Aquamation® honours your loved one—and the natural world they leave behind.
