Why Choose Cremation?
Cremation is chosen by many for a variety of reasons, including cultural and religious beliefs that embrace this practice, its cost-effectiveness compared to traditional burial, and its perceived environmental friendliness due to the reduced use of resources and land. The flexibility of memorialization options, space-saving benefits, and portability of cremated remains also make it an attractive choice. For some, the simplicity of the cremation process eases the emotional burden during a difficult time.
In addition to traditional flame cremation, we also offer water cremation as an alternative method. Water cremation, also known as aquamation or alkaline hydrolysis, is a newer, environmentally friendly approach to cremation. It involves using a water-based solution and gentle heat to accelerate the natural decomposition process, leaving behind only bone fragments. This method has gained popularity for its reduced carbon footprint and its gentler ecological impact.
Ultimately, the decision to opt for cremation is deeply personal and reflects a blend of cultural, financial, environmental, and individual preferences. Learn more about the two types of cremation options we offer below and discover which one aligns best with your values and wishes.
What is Flame Cremation?
Traditional cremation, also known as flame-based cremation, involves placing the deceased in a high-temperature cremation chamber, where the intense heat causes organic matter to combust. This method holds cultural significance and remains a common choice for dignified disposition of human remains.
What is Water Cremation?
Water cremation, also called aquamation, offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional flame-based cremation. It uses a heated alkaline water solution to gently break down the body, leaving behind cremains that can be safely returned to the environment or to the family for memorialization.
