This process is known by many names: water cremation, flameless cremation, alkaline hydrolysis, and bio-cremation, just to name a few. Standard cremation relies on flame to accelerate the natural breakdown that occurs in the soil. Alkaline hydrolysis uses specific combinations of temperature, water, and alkalinity to speed up this process more naturally, safely, and respectfully. Once the process is complete, ashes are available to be returned to you depending on the process you select. Click the button below to learn more.
