Abstract

Abstract: Water cremation is an ecologically sustainable burial option that uses 10% of the carbon footprint and 85% less energy than flame-based cremation. Water cremation does not emit as many toxic compounds, bacteria, and gases into the atmosphere as flames cremation. It employs fewer toxic chemicals than embalming fluids required for an earthen burial. Flame-based cremation may emit up to 150 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which has a substantial impact on the environment. As more individuals become aware of the negative consequences of traditional funeral practices, the popularity of green funerals grows. As more states adopt this affordable and environmentally responsible alternative, water cremation will only grow in popularity. It's an especially fitting way to remember exceptional loved ones who dedicated their lives to leading sustainable lifestyles. In a green cremation, the remains of the deceased individual are preserved. These are converted to ash and can be scattered, commemorated, or kept in an urn after being placed in a cremulator. Approximately 32% more ashes are produced by water cremation than by fire cremation. While water cremation produces a consistently white powder with a finer texture, conventional cremation produces a coarse, grayish-white hue. This might be useful if your family decides to disperse your loved one's ashes for memorial mementos or ash-scattering rituals among other family members.
