What is Alkaline Hydrolysis? - Aquamation Info

Alkaline hydrolysis (also known as aquamation or water cremation) is a method of final disposition that uses water flow, temperature, and alkalinity to accelerate the natural decomposition of organic materials, leaving only bones and metal. The process, patented in the U.S. in 1888, is considered a gentler and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cremation, with lower carbon footprint and fuel usage.
