Cremation Coverage

Dealing with death and planning a funeral can be difficult, especially when it comes to selecting a burial option. You can go the traditional casket route, or a cremation -- but what about aquamation? WECT's Kassie Simmons explores this controversial burial option that uses water. 


Mhm. When you think about it were born through water, Our bodies are made up of 65%. Water proclamation makes sense. As far as going out through water, they own a crematory. They don't like us because they know right cremains are more charred granule remains where the aqua mains is truly like flower families. They have a wide range of opportunity to do many different things with one's remains after the process. Whether you want to keep them place them in an urn, have jewelry made. Everything that's organic to our body is dissolved minus the skeletal system. Based on the way to the individual is how much alkali the sodium and potassium we will use and add to the water. Just say 12 hours. We come back here. As you can see system ready vessel was raised and all we do is hit. Start process. It's like a gentle whirlpool bath, the general circulation of the water over our bodies. What does the work? But inside here there's a stainless steel bath and it has holes when you offer water over fire. Again, families, they feel far more comfortable than the thoughts of having to go with the cremation process.
