What remains when you're nothing but CREMAINS?
A Side by Side Look: Flame vs. Water Cremation 💧🔥
What you’re seeing is the physical difference between the two most common cremation methods today.

🔥 Left: Flame cremation- labeled as cremation:
Remains are light gray, often with visible bone shards, even after going through a cremulator (a machine designed to break them down further). The pH of these remains is highly alkaline, not acidic, and if not mixed with a good amount of soil, can harm plant roots and grass.

💧Right: Water cremation- labeled by brand name, aquamation:
After the water part of alkaline hydrolysis is completes, only soft, powdery bone remains once dry. On a scientific level, it isn't even bone anymore, it is now calcium phosphate. 💀

🌾🍂Hopes for Mother’s Day🍁🍃

I hope that everyone who is a mum of a human person or a fur baby has had a peaceful day and has been made to feel loved, appreciated and special.🌼

If you are lucky enough to celebrate Mother’s Day with your mum or someone who is like a mum to you, that you managed to do something special and meaningful for you both 🌹

I hope that all the ladies who have lost little ones who I have had the privilege of caring for are doing ok on such a difficult day.🦋

I hope that all my friends and family who have lost their beautiful mums are feeling held, remembered and supported especially if it’s a first Mother’s Day without their mum. 💔

I hope that those who have or had difficult or challenging relationships with their mums are not feeling alone. There are so many of us standing in that space.😔

Hoping everyone had a peaceful day today 🙏
