Tillwell Inc Sustainability Actions

Offers aquamation services

Alkaline hydrolysis, also known as aquamation or water cremation, is an environmentally friendly funeral option that cares for our world. Traditional cremation and burial methods can have significant environmental impacts. In contrast, alkaline hydrolysis, or aquamation, produces just 1/10 the carbon footprint and operates without fossil fuels.

Avoids harmful emissions

Flame-based cremation releases harmful pollutants like mercury and dioxins into the air. However, alkaline hydrolysis, or aquamation, utilizes a gentle process involving water and alkali salts that produces no harmful emissions. By selecting this method, we contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment.

Returns liquid to water cycle

The remaining sterile liquid safely returns to the water cycle, while the small amount of bone ash can be scattered, buried, or kept in an urn – just like traditional cremains. The aquamation process creates a sterile and nutrient-rich liquid that can be safely returned to the ecosystem.
