What Is Water Cremation?

Water cremation uses a gentle flow of warm water and natural minerals (alkali) to return the body to its natural elements within a few hours. What remains are pure bone fragments, which are carefully dried and processed into a fine white powder.

A Caring Option

Using water as a means of cremation often feels like a peaceful alternative.

Connection to Water

The idea of returning to water feels both aligned and natural for many of us.

Truly Sustainable

The process uses 90% less energy and produces zero emissions.

Gentle Water is proud to be Florida’s only water cremation facility.

Why Pre-Planning Matters

Families are often left to make end-of-life decisions in the middle of grief. It’s rushed, stressful, and overwhelming.


Here's how pre-planning your end-of-life options changes that:

Your final farewell is sure to feel meaningful.  By taking the time now to decide what you want, your last wishes will reflect your values... and our loved ones often take comfort in that.

It creates clarity over confusion.  No hard decisions need to be made; those you leave behind will know what you wanted and be able to carry your plans out in confidence.


The focus will be on feelings, not logistics.  When logistics are handled, time and energy can be spent holding space for grief, celebration, or whatever needs to be felt. This is the greatest gift of all.
