Water cremation: Co-op Funeralcare to be first UK company to offer resomation
By Emma PetrieBBC News
Water cremation is set to be made available for The First Time in The UK.
The Process , known as resomation, uses a mix of potassium hydroxide and water to break down Human Remains in what is billed as a more sustainable option.
It takes four Hours - The Bones remain, and are powdered then returned to loved ones in a similar way to ashes, in an urn.
Resomation is used in Canada, South Africa and many US states.
It will be The First alternative way to dispose of a body in The UK since The introduction of The Cremation Act in 1902 - and Co-op Funeralcare will be The First to offer it, starting later this year.
The British company Resomation, which supplies The equipment, claims The Process produces a third less Greenhouse Gas than cremation and uses a seventh of The energy.
According to The Founder of The Company , Sandy Sullivan, The liquid used in resomation is " safely returned to The water cycle free from any traces of DNA".
Anti-apartheid campaigner Archbishop Desmond Tutu chose The Process for his funeral arrangements in South Africa - he died in late 2021.
Gill Stewart, Managing Director of Co-op Funeralcare, Said that " land for burials is running out" and that resomation could help The industry " improve its carbon reduction targets and meet The capacity challenges of a growing population".
The Funeral provider anticipates that The cost of resomation will be similar to that of a traditional cremation.
