Ireland to offer eco-friendly water cremation in first for Europe

  1. If anyone is interested in learning about “aquamation”, theres a great video by Ask a Mortician on YouTube that goes through the process in depth. It’s actually really cool.

  2. Love the way it’s described as ‘heated gently as the water washes over the remains’ when in fact your putting your Nana in a pressure cooker at 160 degrees for 6 hours in a bath of caustic soda to melt her into a couple of hundred litres of green-brown effluent and then flush her down the sewer. Nightmare fuel.

  3. Everyone, PLEASE watch Caitlin Doughtys video on aquamation, seeing people spreading misinformation that people just get flushed into sewers or that aquamation is somehow more grim than standard cremation. Aquamation is literally just water cremation, cre meaning fire and aqua meaning water.

    The process is much more environmentally friendly than spewing ash and smoke into the air and the water can be recycled not discarded.
