What is aquamation?
Aquamation, also known as water cremation or alkaline hydrolysis, is an environmentally-friendly and gentle alternative to traditional cremation or burial for horses. It uses a water-based process to break down the body tissues, leaving behind bone fragments that can be processed and returned to the owner.
How does equine aquamation work?
Equine aquamation involves placing the horse’s body in a specialized vessel filled with a water and alkali solution. Through a combination of heat and circulation, the tissues are gently broken down over several hours. The process is natural and it mimics the decomposition that occurs in nature.
