Aquamation - Human Systems

The scientific name for this process is Alkaline Hydrolysis. It’s the same process that occurs as part of nature’s course when a body is laid to rest in the soil.

A combination of gentle water flow, temperature, and alkalinity are used to accelerate the breakdown of organic materials.

Aquamation uses significantly less energy than flame cremation, but more importantly – our process does not rely on fossil fuels.  Because Aquamation uses electricity, it will move into the future as our society improves infrastructure for cleaner energy sources – like wind, water, and solar energy.

Environmental impact isn’t just about energy, though. A “cradle to grave” approach must be taken to get a full picture of the impact our funeral technologies have on our planet.  Scientists use life cycle assessments (LCA) to assess the overall impact.  Aquamation had the lowest environmental impact of all other body care options when all of the impact categories were evaluated.

The Right Technology

Over 80% of families select this option when given the choice.  Aquamation is the solution that moves businesses ahead of others as consumer needs change and environmental regulations tighten.   Our customers can install this equipment in places that would never get approval for a flame crematory – like a downtown historic funeral home.  It opens the doors for how easily they can begin to offer this service and with the consumer demand – their market share increases.

The Right Equipment

Bio-response systems work for you, not the other way around.  Our design team understands—in detail— the challenges that small businesses must manage.  You’re not a huge institution with full-time maintenance staff, so we don’t build the equipment that way!  We’ve designed our equipment to be simple, reliable, and safe.

The Right Team

The technology and equipment are the smaller parts of this partnership.  Who supports you?  What resources are available? What’s the level of experience of the support staff?  We’re proud to have over 35 years of experience building equipment and supporting customers.  We’ve organically grown to include a robust staff of regulatory, engineering, technical, and marketing experts.  We are here to share what we know with our customers and constantly move forward with new features and resources.
