    • The basics of water cremation

Planning a cremation—whether for yourself or someone you love—is a personal and often meaningful choice. More and more families are choosing cremation. There are a number of reasons why—including the variety of options available. One of those options is water cremation.*

Water cremation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis or flameless cremation, uses water and alkaline chemicals with the addition of heat to break down a loved one’s body. Some people consider water cremation a gentler alternative to flame-based cremation. Plus, water cremation allows for limitless ways to memorialize a loved one. At the end of the process, you’ll have your loved one’s ashes to scatter, keep close or create a permanent cemetery memorial.

Choose the most trusted provider

It’s important to understand that all providers are not the same. We go beyond what is required, exceed what is expected and back our care for families with a 100% service guarantee.

Plan ahead for peace of mind

Making arrangements in advance helps alleviate stress on your loved ones. When you plan ahead, you not only ensure a service exactly as you envision it, you also ease the emotional and financial burdens of those closest to you. Family and friends can better cope with their loss and focus on what's most important—celebrating your life.

My family has used Witzke for many years . They really listen to your stories about your loved ones and then bring it to life during the service with the decor. They are always available to talk and go the extra mile to make a difficult time so memorable and meaningful for all.

There is so much that has to be done when a loved one dies, but the Oshawa Funeral Home took all that stress away by professionally and compassionately handling all those details and paperwork. The Home was beautiful, the people very warm and the support was awesome.
