Alluvium Water Cremations

11/03/2026

Offering families the choice to care for their deceased in a manner that reflects the values they had in life is one small way we begin to weave a tapestry of meaning around the deaths of those we love.

"But what if meaning's not hidden? What if it's not something to find? What if that's not the story? What if the story is that meaning is not found at all, but that it's made."
- Stephen Jenkinson

Which, to be clear, is all of us.

A few months ago we were lucky enough to be approached by Brand Tasmania to produce a Tasmanian Story about us, and how Alluvium Water Cremations came to be.

This was such a special experience — to pause and reflect on why we started, what drives us, and the unique Tasmanian values that shape our approach. From the beginning, our vision has been simple: to provide families with a gentle, sustainable choice for farewelling loved ones, while honouring both the care of that person and family, and the environment.

We’re incredibly proud to share this story and grateful to Tasmanian for capturing not just what we do, but who we are.

It was a big weekend with Beaker Street, sharing options around death and dying in Tasmania. We were humbled by the turnout at our event, where people came with such openness and curiosity. A little more theatrical than our usual Transparency Tours - and we can’t wait to do more, so stay tuned!
All ticket sales from our event went to Palliative Care Tasmania, which is such a critical service for Tasmanians and we're proud to be able to support them.

A farewell as natural as Tasmania itself.
At Alluvium, we use water — not flame — to return your loved one gently to the earth. It’s a process as peaceful as a misty morning in the Huon or the waves lapping a quiet beach on the East Coast.

Locally owned. Environmentally kind.
Water cremation, right here in Tasmania. 💧

The Beaker Street festival is getting close! Make sure you grab your tickets early so you don't miss out!

It's been twelve months, today, since we were able to open our doors and invite Tasmanian families to bring us into their worlds; those invitations started from only a couple of days after we opened, and haven't stopped or slowed since.

To those families who invited us into their grief, and their unknowing, and their uncertainty, and asked us to walk alongside them. You know who you are, and so do we. Always.

Thank you.

And from Brendan and I, to the partners and small people who have been behind us, holding us, supporting us, and believing that we could manage this all. Always.

Thank you.

To the rest of you, we'll be here when you need us. Always.

It's been an absolute privilege.

We spent 6 hours filming, and all we got to show for it was this not-quite-5min mini-documentary (which is pretty great, all the same).

If you find it's raised more questions than it's answered for you, don't hesitate to reach out. We're always happy to discuss all things death, dying, and final disposition with you!

It’s called water cremation, and it’s changing the way we think about death. It uses 90% less energy than fire, creates no smoke, and families say it feels m...

Come along and find out some answers to some of the questions we don't like to ask. We'll see you there!
