Green Cremation

What is Green Cremation?

If you are interested in both cremation and protecting the environment, we recommend our green cremation services. Also called water cremation, aquamation, or alkaline hydrolysis, this form of cremation does not use flame or high levels of carbon emissions to break down the body.

Instead, green cremation uses water and potassium hydroxide to reduce the body to cremated remains. By using water instead of flame, the cremation process requires less energy and creates fewer emissions (green cremation produces roughly 90% less carbon emissions than traditional flame cremation). After the process is complete, the cremated remains (or ashes) will be returned to the family, so they can honor and memorialize their loved one in a personalized way.
