This process doesn’t just honor life; it respects the planet, ensuring that even in death, we contribute to a sustainable future.

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Why are families choosing water cremation?

"Because it’s a choice offered by an honorable company, a choice that offers gentleness over fire, compassion over convention, and sustainability over destruction.” Families are drawn to its alignment with their values: honoring their loved ones while caring for the planet.
