Global Funerals have been appointed the agents for Aquamation Services

Aquamation® is the better, greener alternative for the body and our planet.

WHY CHOOSE A WATER CREMATION?

No direct emissions.

Fire cremations burn fossil fuels, which create significant pollution and can emit harmful substances like carbon monoxide, particulates (PM10 and PM2.5), and heavy metals, including mercury, lead, and cadmium. Aquamation® uses only water, heat, and a small amount of an alkaline solution powered by electricity, making it the most eco-friendly funerals.

Less energy use.

Aquamation® uses less than 10% of the energy of a traditional fire cremation, which significantly reduces emissions, and is more efficient compared to a gas, LPG, or diesel-fired cremation. When coupled with electricity from a renewable source, the Aquamation® process can almost be entirely carbon-neutral.

Fewer procedures.

Unlike flame cremation or burial, the delicate nature of the Aquamation® process does not remove medical devices such as pacemakers, implants, or jewellery from the body before the process through invasive mortuary procedures. These can be gathered once the process is complete - maintaining dignity and respect for the body after death.

Fire Cremation and Burial - A Climate Catastrophe

Let's consider the following facts in relation to our environment.

Fire cremation requires very high temperatures and generates approximately 400 kilograms of carbon emissions from each cremation.
A fire cremation emits about the same amount of CO2 as driving a car from Melbourne to Perth, totalling about 40 million kilograms of carbon per year.
Fire cremation is a major contributor to climate change.
A burial does have a lower initial carbon footprint than a fire cremation. However, with the making of the headstone and the mowing and watering of the grave site over many years, a burial totals a greater level of emissions than a fire cremation.

Water Cremation operates at a much lower temperature than fire cremation and produces less than 10% of the carbon emissions. A Water Cremation also produces much fewer carbon emissions than a standard burial.
