If you are planning your funeral, there are many things you must consider. One of these is the type of funeral and burial you want. If you want to stay eco-friendly, one good option would be water cremation. With this, less materials are used. For example, you do not have to purchase a casket, have your body embalmed, or find a burial site. Below is information about water cremation that you should find helpful.
Use Water Cremation
Water cremation is eco-friendly. When cremating a body the traditional way, a lot of energy is used to break down your body and there is air pollution while the body is being cremated.
Instead of this, choose water cremation. You will also hear this referred to as aquamation. Instead of using an oven set to high temperatures to burn the body, the body is placed into a machine that contains an alkaline solution. Once your body is placed into the machine, the machine is turned on and then creates heat and pressurization. The entire process takes a few hours and when finished your body will be liquid and bone.
The cremator would give you the liquid in a tightly sealed container, if you prefer.
Where to Put the Remains
Once you receive the liquid in the container, your family could keep it. They could then place the container they receive into an urn that they place in their home. You can find urns in a variety of shapes and sizes, and urns are beautiful enough to place on a fireplace mantel or other area.
If you enjoy fishing, you could ask your family to spread your liquid remains where you love to fish or take a charter out on the ocean and spread your liquid remains. If you had a favorite place you loved to vacation, such as the mountains, your family could spread your liquid ash in this area.
Your family could choose to use your liquid in gardening. For example, they could plant a tree in your name and pour your liquid remains into the hole they dig. Your family members could remove some of the soil that contains your liquid remains and then use this soil to plant their own plants or trees.
Do your research as this type of cremation is not legal in all states. The funeral director that you choose can give you this information. If allowed, the funeral director can tell you of water cremation services in your area.
