WATER CREMATION

A gentle, sustainable process that uses water instead of flame to honor both your loved ones and the environment. This eco-friendly method provides a meaningful alternative to traditional cremation, offering a significantly lower carbon footprint while remaining deeply respectful and compassionate. It allows families to make a choice that reflects their values and commitment to preserving the planet, ensuring a respectful and environmentally conscious farewell.

Who is This Right For?

Water cremation is an option for anyone looking for a respectful and environmentally friendly way to say goodbye to their loved ones. While it is a natural choice for environmentalists, it also appeals to a wide range of people, including:


  • Families who spent summers at the cabin by the lake and feel a deep connection to water and nature.
  • Individuals who enjoyed fishing, boating, or simply being near water.
  • Those looking for a gentle and compassionate alternative to traditional cremation or burial, with minimal environmental impact as part of their legacy.
