What is the Gentle Way?
The Gentle Way is a water-based alternative to flame cremation. Instead of fire, it uses a gentle, water-led process that returns your loved one to nature softly and respectfully — leaving you with ashes to keep, scatter or plant, just as you would with a traditional cremation.
Because it uses a rental casket rather than a coffin you purchase, it's also a more affordable and lower-impact choice — without compromising the dignity of the farewell.
