Gentle, Environmentally Conscious Water Cremations
Aquamation is a much gentler, environmentally friendly method of cremation that uses water instead of flame to return your loved one back to nature.
Honor your loved one’s commitment to the natural world by choosing aquamation for their final act.
What is Aquamation?
Aquamation (also called “alkaline hydrolysis”) is a water-based alternative to traditional flame cremation. Your loved one is placed in a special vessel which uses a mixture of pressure, heated water and salts to gently cremate their body.
This process is significantly more environmentally friendly than flame cremation and results in much cleaner, purer ashes when compared to a flame cremation.
Aquamation is very similar to the natural processes that occur with a green burial or human composting, mimicking natural decomposition.
Natural and Gentle
Aquamation uses only 10% of the energy a traditional flame cremation uses, doesn’t burn fossil fuels and doesn’t generate any greenhouse gases.

How is Aquamation Different?
Traditional cremation comes at a cost - both in fuel and CO2 pollution. Inpeace aquamations remove more than 95% of the environmental impact of a flame cremation. Aquamations only require a small amount of electricity and don’t burn any liquid fuel.
How Inpeace Direct Aquamation Works
Inpeace takes your loved one into our care and transports them to our aquamation facility in Connecticut.
After the necessary authorizations are signed the body is carefully placed into the sterlized aquamation chamber.
The aquamation takes between 6-8 hours. An alkaline solution flows around the body and mimics natural breakdown that occurs in the earth.
The bone remains - the same as those in a flame cremation - are collected and prepared for return to the family - either USPS or hand delivery within our service area.
Honesty - no upsells, no surprises.

Aquamation and cremation both produce bone remains. Many people think that cremated remains, often called cremains, are a fine ash or powder. However, when the bones are removed from the cremation chamber, they are often still intact and recognizable as bones. Crematoriums use cremulators to pulverize the bones, as required by law. Similarly, aquamation facilities are required to reduce the bones into a fine powder before returning them to the family.
The ashes from aquamation look more pristine and uniform than cremains. The cremation process chars the bones. Cremains are often course and dark, from the intense heat in the cremation chamber.

The “essence” is returned to the ecosystem via the normal wastewater treatment facility, just as all funeral homes in the United States do during the embalming process. The alkaline hydrolysis process produces a completely sterile solution of amino acids, sugars, nutrients, salts, and soap in a water solution. These are the byproducts of natural decomposition.
