🌊 Did you know there’s a difference in the remains left behind by water cremation and fire cremation?

✨With water cremation, the remains are clean, pure, and soft white in color, resembling fine sand. This gentle process avoids the blackened, brittle appearance often associated with fire cremation remains.

❔One of the most common questions we receive is whether water cremation provides physical remains for memorialization—and the answer is YES. Families are comforted knowing they have something beautiful and meaningful to honor their loved ones. 🌿

Discover the difference and why so many are choosing Aquaterra—the choice for life. ✨

🌊 Is water cremation eco-friendly? Absolutely!

Water cremation, also known as aquamation, is a sustainable and environmentally conscious alternative to traditional flame cremation. Unlike flame-based cremation, which uses high amounts of energy and releases harmful emissions, water cremation uses a water-based solution and heat to break down the body in a gentle, non-toxic process.

The result? Significantly less carbon footprint and no harmful emissions released into the air, making it an earth-friendly choice for honoring loved ones. 🌱

At Aquaterra, we’re proud to offer a solution that not only provides a peaceful way to say goodbye, but also cares for the planet. 🌿
