How does this compare to a 'traditional' cremation?
While Water Cremation is growing in popularity, most people haven't heard much about it. Here are some key points:
The water cremation process is also known as Alkaline Hydrolysis. A small quantity of fluid within a sealed chamber combines with a gentle rolling action to complete the cremation process.
Traditional cremations generate arounds 400 kilograms of carbon emissions per cremation. Water Cremation generates less that 10% of that to cremate someone.
All fluids are filtered and treated onsite, and are clean enough to be reused. No one being cremated with this process is disposed of 'down the drain'!
The ashes produced by The Gentle Way water cremation are exceptionally clean and able to be placed in an urn, or memorialised in whatever manner you wish.
