Water cremation is the gentle process of changing the body to ash of organic material using water and a small amount of alkali-based solution. The body is first carefully placed in the water cremator, then the body returns to its basic organic elements. Once the process is completed, families receive the ashes in the same way with a traditional flame cremation. Water cremation service is provided by a company, Natural Funeral, in US. This process is nature friendly. They do not make any carbon emissions. Ash made from water cremation becomes good fertilizer and it helps the plants to grow. Some families are choosing this natural, environmentally sustainable funeral option.
