Question 3

Does the family still receive ashes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and here’s the beautiful part: families receive 20–30% more remains compared to flame cremation. The ashes are finer, whiter, and free from the carbon discoloration caused by fire. They represent the pure essence of a loved one, untouched by flame, and ready to be memorialized in any way.

Question 4

What happens to the water used in the process?

The water, which begins as 95% water and 5% salts/alkali, is completely sterile and nutrient-rich by the end of the process. It’s safely returned to the ecosystem via local wastewater treatment facilities, just as embalming fluids are managed in traditional funerals.
