Resomation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis, is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional flame cremation and burial. It is a process that uses water, alkaline solutions, and heat to break down the body into its natural elements, leaving behind a sterile liquid and dry bone fragments.


One of the main benefits of resomation is that it is significantly more environmentally friendly than traditional cremation. Cremation requires burning fossil fuels, which releases harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. In contrast, resomation uses a closed-loop system that recycles water and reduces the carbon footprint by up to 80%.

Another advantage of resomation is that it is a more hygienic option. During the cremation process, toxic gases such as mercury, chlorine, and formaldehyde are released into the atmosphere. These gases can be harmful to the environment and to those living near the crematorium. With resomation, these gases are eliminated, as the process uses water and alkaline solutions to bring the body back to its natural elements.


Resomation is gaining popularity as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional cremation and burial. It is an important option to consider for those who want to reduce their carbon footprint and make a more environmentally conscious choice for their final disposition.
