  • With our free Guide to Water Cremation, you will learn:

    • The basics of water cremation
    • How water cremation compares to traditional cremation
    • When to plan a cremation celebration
    • Options for cremation cemetery placement

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.

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.

Everyone who worked with us from the planning, preparations, wake, Mass and burial were so compassionate and accommodating. We couldn’t believe how smooth and fast they worked, that everything was done in 4 days. We felt to blessed to have that kind of support in a very difficult time.
