When faced with the death of a loved one, British Columbians can only choose between burial and fire cremation. There is another alternative, already offered in the provinces of Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland/Labrador and the Northwest Territories, and that is alkaline hydrolysis, aka aquamation.
What is alkaline hydrolysis aka aquamation?
We compiled a few videos for you to watch and learn about this technology.
If you prefer a written version of alkaline hydrolysis, and the history behind it, you can download a printable version here.

How can I help?
Since 2012, several funeral directors and supporters have been meeting with Consumer Protection BC, as they regulate the cemetery and funeral services in the province, known as the Cremation, Interment and Funeral Services Act.
Presentations were made, meetings were held, information was submitted and 10 years later, we are still waiting for our province to finally approve this alternative to burial and fire cremation.
