When low-impact options are a priority, Water Cremation offers an eco-friendly solution. Also known as alkaline hydrolysis, this innovative process is the gentlest final footprint available. It utilizes natural elements and principles to reduce the body in a sustainable manner. Families can expect to receive 20% more of their loved one’s remains compared to traditional flame cremation.
Water Cremation has a significantly lower environmental impact, leaving only one-tenth of the carbon footprint associated with flame cremation. It consumes 90% less energy and serves as a carbon-neutral alternative. Furthermore, 95% of the water used in this process is returned to the earth as sterilized, nutrient-rich liquid fertilizer, minimizing bio-waste.
Our Water Cremation option provides the same memorial possibilities as traditional cremation, and ensures long-term peace of mind.
No fossil fuels are burned, and no greenhouse gasses are emitted, using only one-tenth the energy of flame-based cremation.
This process mimics nature's decomposition, breaking down organic material into basic building blocks within hours.
The warm water flow, combined with alkaline, accelerates tissue decomposition, leaving only the mineral remains of the bone.

Typically, the creamated remains from flame cremation are gray due to carbon discoloration from burning, while the creamated remains from water cremation range from white to tan. There is also individual variation in physical appearance for both processes. Water cremation creamated remains are often described as “chippy” bone fragments, whereas water cremation creamated remains are a fine powder, with about 20% more remains returned to the family.
