Aquamation
A sustainable, eco-friendly solution.
Aquamation is a form of cremation that uses water-based alkaline hydrolysis instead of fire. This process uses a combination of pressure, water, and an alkaline solution to dissolve the body, reducing it to its basic elements in a matter of hours. It is considered an eco-friendly alternative to traditional cremation and is gaining popularity as a more sustainable option.
Aquamation offers several benefits compared to traditional cremation, including:
- Environmentally friendly: Aquamation uses less energy and produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional cremation.
- Reduced time: The aquamation process takes a shorter amount of time compared to traditional cremation.
- Reduced temperature: Aquamation operates at a lower temperature than cremation, reducing the risk of airborne emissions and making it a safer option for some individuals.
- No odors: Aquamation does not produce the strong odors associated with traditional cremation.
- More accepted by some religious groups: Aquamation is more acceptable to some religious groups that may not consider traditional cremation to be in line with their beliefs.
