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.
