Why pre-plan?

Pre-planning avoids placing your family in an unfavorable emotional or financial position when you are no longer in the picture. A few questions to ponder:

 

  • Have you discussed whether you want a cremation or a burial? 
  • Does your family have the funds in place to pay for either service?
  • Does your family know where to locate the "important papers?" 


Pre-planning manages those concerns ahead of time and allows you to control the outcome.

Alkaline Hydrolysis: A look inside

Alkaline hydrolysis: A greener alternative to burial or flame-based cremations. The process uses a combination of water and potassium hydroxide to decompose a body down to bones. The process does NOT use acid.


Lastly, it uses 1/12 the energy of traditional cremations, and the process does not produce toxic gases or air pollutants. (Note -- the actual equipment used may differ.)
