Aquamation Service

An aquamation service is a peaceful and respectful way to say goodbye to a loved one, centered around the gentle, water-based process of alkaline hydrolysis. Families often choose to hold a memorial gathering before or after the aquamation, creating space for storytelling, music, shared memories, and expressions of love. These services can take place in a chapel, a family home, a park, or any location that holds special meaning.

While aquamation itself occurs privately, the ceremony provides the emotional framework for remembrance. Families may display photos, light candles, or incorporate personal rituals to honor the life and legacy of their loved one. The resulting ashes are returned to the family and can be placed in a meaningful location—buried, scattered, or preserved in a keepsake urn.

Ultimately, an aquamation service offers the same opportunity for connection, reflection, and healing as any other end-of-life ceremony. It allows families to say goodbye in a way that is both meaningful and environmentally conscious, offering comfort during a difficult time.
