NEW GENTLE WATER CREMATION SERVICE OPENS IN MANGONIA PARK
Thursday, November 14, 2024 -- Monday, May 12, 2025, 0900 - 2300
Gentle Water Cremation, Florida's only water cremation provider, is excited to introduce an eco-friendly, compassionate alternative to traditional burial and flame cremation.
Water cremation, also known as aquamation and alkaline hydrolysis, is a natural process that uses water and a small amount of potassium hydroxide to reduce remains in a manner similar to what happens in the ground post-burial, producing cremated remains similar to flame cremation. This innovative method is kind to the environment, with a carbon footprint estimated to be as little as one-tenth of traditional flame cremation.
As the only provider in Florida, Gentle Water is dedicated to giving families a fresh and dignified choice during a difficult time. The company believes that, while water cremation may not be the right choice for everyone, it is important to offer this additional option to Florida's families.
"We're proud to offer families a choice they might find more meaningful. Water cremation appeals to different people for different reasons: For some, it's the eco-friendly aspect, but for many others, the natural and gentle process is the main draw. It can also hold special significance for those who love spending time around water," said Steve Pomerantz,
co-founder of Gentle Water Cremation.
With any new technology, questions are sure to arise. "We love getting the opportunity to meet with curious people, explain this technology, and address their questions and concerns," said Holly Sutton, Managing Licensed Funeral Director, "When we're given the opportunity to serve a family during their most sensitive time, our top priority is treating their loved one with dignity and respect."
Gentle Water Cremation serves families throughout Florida from its location in the City of Mangonia Park, at 1112 48th Street Unit 2, West Palm Beach, FL 33407.
The company holds monthly open houses and offers free tours and consultations for anyone considering pre-need plans. Staff are available 24/7 at 561-899-0008. More information can be found at https://www.gentlewater.com/.
