Bio-Cremation 

Bio-Cremation is a gentle, water-based process that returns your loved one's remains to its natural form.

A Natural Alternative to Cremation

Bio-Cremation is more environmentally friendly than the traditional flame cremation process while offering the same benefits and more by using an alternative eco-friendly technology that steadily circulates a warm water solution using less energy and leaves a smaller carbon footprint.


The final cremains are cleansed, and dry bone ash is returned to you for hosting a reception, personal memorial tribute, destination memorial, burial, scattering at a sacred place, and others of your choosing.
