It is our belief that there is a healthier and more environmentally friendly option to traditional cremation. Over the past 7 years we have searched for an alternative and are proud to offer a gentle, respectful, eco-friendly alternative, called Aquamation. This process uses a solution of 95% water and 5% alkali. Aquamation uses the same alkalis used in common cosmetic products, body washes, shaving creams and food preparations. It is the same process that occurs as part of nature when a body is laid to rest in the soil, however a combination of gentle water flow, temperature, and alkalinity are used to accelerate the natural process of tissue hydrolysis.
