WATER CREMATION: A GENTLE ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL CREMATION
In times of loss, choosing the right farewell matters. At Walter’s Funeral Services, we understand how important it is to find a meaningful way to say goodbye. For families seeking a more natural, environmentally conscious option, water cremation offers a gentle and respectful alternative to traditional cremation.
What Is Water Cremation?
Water cremation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis, aquamation, or green cremation, is a process that uses water, pressure, and an alkaline solution to break down the body to its natural elements. Unlike traditional cremation, which uses heat, water cremation offers an energy-efficient alternative that leaves behind ash, which can be returned to the family just like with traditional cremation.
Why More Families Are Choosing Water Cremation
Water cremation is becoming a preferred option for several reasons:
Eco-Friendly – Water cremation uses 90% less energy than flame cremation and does not release harmful emissions like carbon dioxide into the air.
A Gentle Process – The body undergoes a natural, gentle, water-based process.
No Harsh Flames – Some families find comfort in knowing that their loved one’s farewell is flame-free.
