The Greener Alternative
To Cremation

The Gentle Way

What Is The Gentle Way?

In our journey through life, there comes a time when we must confront the inevitable. Yet, as we face this reality, we also seek a gentle and compassionate way to bid farewell to our loved ones and to honour their journey beyond this world. A gentle end-of-life option, offering solace and reverence in the final transition. 

The Gentle Way, also known as alkaline hydrolysis, stands as a testament to our evolving understanding of both life and death. Unlike traditional cremation methods, which involve intense heat and flames, water gently cradles the departed in a serene aqueous environment. This gentle process not only preserves the dignity of the departed but also honours our interconnectedness with the elements of nature. As the body is gently returned to its elemental form, it undergoes a peaceful transformation, becoming one with the sacred cycle of life and renewal. In this way, water embodies the essence of compassion and harmony, offering a serene departure from this world.

Do I Still Get Ashes?

YES! However because the term "ashes" imposes fire, we don't call them ashes. We return your loved one as "remains", as no fire has been used and we find it a better term. The "remains" we provide back to you are the same consistancy as "ashes". We also return to you a plant of your choosing or a desert rose, with a part of your loved one inside. This way not only do you receive your loved ones "remains" you also receive a living vital presence as well.
