How Water Cremation Works in Connecticut

Water cremation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis, is a gentle, water-based alternative to flame cremation. The process uses a carefully controlled combination of water, temperature, and alkalinity to accelerate the natural process that occurs after burial.

Your Loved One Remains in Our Care

Aquamation of Connecticut operates its own dedicated water-cremation facility in Torrington.

When a family makes direct arrangements with us, the aquamation is not outsourced to an unidentified third-party facility. Our funeral-service professionals oversee the transfer, documentation, care and aquamation process.

This continuity allows us to provide clear answers, maintain professional accountability and care for each individual with dignity from the initial transfer through the return of the remains.
