The process
Water cremation, explained
Creating a greener future while keeping costs down for families — the gentlest end-of-life process available today.
What is it?
A revolutionary, gentle alternative
We proudly offer water cremation — an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fire cremation and burial. As Australia's leading and only provider with a built-in filtration system, we combine advanced technology with compassionate care to deliver a service that is both ethical and sustainable.
This innovative process was recognised as a 2015 Finalist in the prestigious Australian Technology Competition for its groundbreaking contribution to green funeral practices.
Fire cremation generates approximately 400 kilograms of carbon emissions per cremation — as much CO₂ as driving from Melbourne to Perth — and contributes around 40 million kilograms of carbon emissions annually in Australia.
Water cremation is a low-emission solution that operates at significantly lower temperatures, producing less than 10% of those carbon emissions. Compared to burial, it is a far more sustainable choice.
