Flame cremation uses a ton of non-renewable resources to incinerate the body. Most crematories do not have scrubbers to filter out harmful substances such as mercury. Other harmful emissions such as furons and dioxins enter the atmosphere with conventional cremation. With flame cremation, mercury from amalgams in fillings is vaporized into the air we breathe. With alkaline hydrolysis, there are no harmful emissions, a tenth of the energy is used in the process, and the liquid remains after water cremation are pathogen-free, sterile and a rich bio-nutrient we return to the earth. The bones are pure white instead of the gray of cremains from flame cremation.
