We understand that losing a companion is difficult. These answers are here to guide you through the process with clarity and care.

  • Water cremation, also called alkaline hydrolysis, uses gentle water-based chemistry to return a body to its natural elements — the same process that occurs when a body returns to the earth, simply accelerated. Flame cremation uses high heat instead. Water cremation produces no smoke or greenhouse-gas emissions and returns approximately 30 to 40 percent more cremated remains than flame cremation.
