Water cremations are legal in 28 other states but not in Texas. A Texas Senate Bill aims to legalize the service and add aquamation to the state's definition of a cremation.
– Sandi Joralemon recently lost her husband, and during the most difficult time for her and her family, she had little time to decide what steps to take next.
Alkaline hydrolysis, or aquamation, is a form of cremation that uses 95% water and 5% sodium hydroxide. It’s an alkaline solution that reduces the human body to bone fragments, which are then reduced to ashes.“It’s a gentle acceleration of decomposition and I think that’s pretty cool. It’s a natural process using chemicals that we would normally use anyway. So, it wasn’t frightening, it wasn’t scary, and it brought peace and comfort,” Joralemon said.
Currently Texas Senate Bill 105, authored by Sen. Nathan Johnson, aims to legalize the service and would add alkaline hydrolysis to the state’s definition of a cremation. The bill currently stands in committee., said this isn’t the first time a bill has been proposed in Texas. “The Texas Catholic Conferences of Bishops opposes the legalization of water cremation,” said TCCB executive director Jennifer Allmon. “We will continue to oppose these bills. Alkaline hydrolysis fails to treat the body with dignity and respect.”
