Resomation / Water Cremation

Why Resomation?

Around the world, consumer expectations and regulatory pressures are reshaping the deathcare industry. Consumers are increasingly looking forward for alternatives that have a smaller carbon footprint. Resomation®, also known as water cremation, is a high pressure, high temperature alkaline process which represents the most advanced response to this challenge. Instead of using fire, the process uses a combination of water, heat, pressure, and an alkaline solution to accelerate the disposition process.

🌱 Environmental Benefits

• Up to 90% less energy use compared to flame cremation.
• No direct CO₂ emissions — avoiding the release of thousands of kilograms of greenhouse gases per cremation.
• No harmful pollutants — mercury from dental amalgams and other toxins are safely captured, not released into the atmosphere.
• Conserves natural resources, as it relies on water and an alkaline solution rather than fossil fuels.

💧 Dignity & Family Experience

• A gentler process that avoids flames and high heat.
• Families receive pure white ashes, cleaner in appearance to traditional cremation, allowing for the same memorial and scattering options.
• Provides a meaningful choice for families who want to honour their loved one in a more sustainable way
