When we die we currently have the options of flame cremation and burial for our bodies. There is likely to be another choice soon which is significantly more in harmony with our environment. And where we can even give back. During the water cremation process, a body is dissolved in an alkaline solution of potassium hydroxide and water, inside a stainless steel machine called a Resomator. This process usually takes between three-four hours.
Water Cremation or Alkaline Hydrolysis, is a more environmentally sustainable way of caring for the bodies of our loved ones, than the process of flame cremation or burial. Water cremation provides another choice for everyone; one that is more environmentally sustainable, and we plan to offer it to our community.
It’s not regulated in New Zealand yet, but it is permitted in parts of Canada, more than half of the United States and Ireland. We are continuing to work closely with the Christchurch City Council and the Ministry of Health to bring this option to the public.
