What is aquamation?
Aquamation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis or water cremation, is a gentle, eco-conscious alternative to traditional flame cremation. This water-based process uses a combination of water, heat, and alkaline compounds to accelerate the natural decomposition process, mimicking what occurs in nature when an animal passes. Aquamation is 90% more energy-efficient than flame cremation and produces no harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
