Water cremation - Wikipedia
Alkaline hydrolysis (aquamation) is a body disposal process that uses lye, water, and heat in a pressure vessel to break down human or animal remains as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional cremation or burial. The process uses one-quarter the energy of flame-based cremation, produces less carbon dioxide, and has been adopted in both human funeral services and the pet/agricultural industries since its 1888 patent.
