Cremation & Aquamation
When it comes to honoring a loved one, families today are seeking options that are flexible, environmentally conscious, and meaningful. At Smart Funeral Planning, we provide both cremation and aquamation services, giving you the ability to choose a method that aligns with your values, preferences, and lifestyle.
Understanding Cremation
Cremation is a widely chosen option for families seeking flexibility and simplicity. Our cremation services include:
Traditional cremation: Includes a ceremonial service prior to cremation.
Direct cremation: Simple, no-frills service, followed by cremation.
Personalized memorial options: Music, readings, keepsakes, and special rituals.
Why choose cremation?
Allows families to schedule memorial services at a convenient time.
Offers flexibility in choosing urns, scattering, or keepsakes.
Can be combined with traditional elements or custom ceremonies.
Understanding Aquamation (Alkaline Hydrolysis)
Aquamation, also called water cremation or alkaline hydrolysis, is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional cremation. This gentle process uses water and alkaline solution to return the body to its basic elements safely and respectfully.
Benefits of aquamation:
Environmentally sustainable: uses less energy and avoids emissions.
Gentle and natural process.
Supports families who prefer green, eco-conscious options.
