Aquamation involves placing the body of the dead in an aluminum cylinder that has been pressurized using potassium hydroxide. The body is then heated to 150°C over three to four hours. After being cooked in an oven, the food is turned into a substance. The bones are then put in an urn, and then crushed to form a powder.
In a time when burial places are scarce around the world, aquamation continues increase in popularity. Many supporters of the aquamation method argue that water is more effective than burning for making ashes. Also, they assert that a liquid cremation uses lesser energy than a traditional one and releases fewer greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. The process requires only one fifth of the amount of energy required by fire in addition to reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases by approximately 1/3 compared to conventional burial methods. kp8hzlf2jc.
