Sponsor spotlight A look at Alkaline Hydrolysis, or Water Cremation

Beck’s Funeral Home has begun offering Alkaline Hydrolysis, or Water Cremation, as part of its services. This environmentally friendly method employs water mixed with an alkaline solution to accelerate the breakdown of human tissues, resulting in sterile bone remains. Unlike traditional cremation, Alkaline Hydrolysis uses less energy and produces fewer greenhouse gases, making it a more sustainable option. Beck’s Funeral Home provides various services, including traditional funerals and celebrations of life, alongside this modern method. The introduction of Alkaline Hydrolysis aligns with a nationwide shift towards eco-conscious practices in the funeral industry.

Local residents can reach Planning Advisor Julie Hartman at 425-771-1234 or via email for inquiries or preplanning needs. This innovative service highlights the ongoing evolution of funeral options available to families. As awareness of environmental issues grows, more individuals may seek sustainable alternatives for end-of-life arrangements.
