What is 'Water Cremation'?

The funeral industry is not exactly known for innovation. For a very long time, the only choices we've had are burial or cremation. That's it. But not any more! Southeast Queensland now has a third alternative - water cremation. Our friends at The Gentle Way are now providing this gentle, eco-friendly option to families in and around Brisbane (and surrounding regions).

So what is water cremation? As an alternative to regular flame/heat-based cremation, the deceased is placed carefully in a specially-designed capsule and gentle rocked back and forward while partially submersed in a warm eco-friendly solution. Once the process is completed, the person's remains are processed to leave only fine, clean ashes, which can be placed in an urn, a memorial garden, or scattered at a meaningful location. The process is clean, dignified, and gentle on the environment.

While it might not be everyone's choice, we are proud to offer this excellent alternative. We believe that more and more people will choose water cremation in the future. We'd love to speak with you more about water cremation to see if it's right for you. Here is a video with more information about it:
