Water cremation in Tweed Heads
The Gentle Way offers water cremation to Tweed Heads and the Tweed Shire in northern New South Wales. The Tweed is home to one of Australia's most environmentally engaged communities, sitting between the Pacific and the Mount Warning caldera, and local families have been asking for a low-emission alternative to flame cremation for years.
