Flameless Cremation uses WATER instead of fire and is a new alternative to burial or flame cremation. The scientific name for Flameless Cremation is alkaline hydrolysis which is essentially an accelerated form of natural breakdown. A combination of gentle water flow, temperature, and alkalinity are used to accelerate the natural course of breakdown accomplished by our eco-system at the end of life.
Trusted institutions have chosen this process for bodies donated to medical science for many years. The Department of Anatomy at MAYO Clinic has been using alkaline hydrolysis since 2006 because the sterile process prevents the release of emissions and helps protect the earth's natural resources. This new innovative process is now available to the general public as an end of life option.

Today, more individuals and families are making the decision to prearrange their funerals (Flameless Cremation) than ever before. Because of various factors such as inflation, fewer extended family members living close by, and other changes in our society, planning your own funeral (Flameless Cremation) can make a lot of sense.

Ryan has been a blessing to my family from beginning to end! He made the already painful process easy. The services are very affordable. My mother passed away in Bloomington, IL and AquaGreen picked her up with care and brought her back to South Holland for services. Ryan has been keeping in touch with our family since that dreadful day in April to make sure we are ok and if we need anything he always let's us know we can reach out to him. I would highly recommend AquaGreen and hope that this company remains for years to come. Thank you Ryan!!

No one wants to have to use these sorts of services, but we could not have had a better experience. Our mother chose to use AquaGreen before she passed because it was a good choice for the environment, but we also received such good service from Ryan and his team throughout the whole process. He was so kind and walked us through every step of the process, including other things that aren't even their responsibility. We can't recommend them enough.

I am so grateful for Ryan's professionalism and compassion during this very emotional time. I cannot say enough good things about AquaGreen Dispositions and all that Ryan did to assist me through the process. From start to finish I was satisfied and comforted that my beloved Uncle, who was like a Father to me, had the care and dignity that he deserved. I highly recommend AquaGreen Dispositions.

Losing a parent is such an unbearable pain. But Ryan made the process, much more bearable. He handled my family, with so much compassion and patience, and made us feel at ease. He made this process stress free, and he was always a phone call away, if you had an questions.
He even allowed my family to spend time and say our last goodbyes, before going through the actual process. We felt extremely comfortable knowing that our mom were in good hands throughout the preparation. Ryan is such a Blessing!

Highly recommended for their professional and compassionate service. Ryan took time to answer all of my questions and helped me to understand exactly what would happen throughout the process. His respectful and caring demeanor was really appreciated during this very difficult time for me. I originally contacted AquaGreen because of the eco-friendly aspect of flameless cremation and found it especially comforting that they took care of every detail of the process themselves.

Ryan helped us prepare and share the passing of our mom's human to divine life without any stress or angst over the costs and choices materialistically. Ryan - and his staff - made the process fairly easy, under the circumstances - with charity and grace. I was also allowed the flexibility to spend time and say the Rosary with mom before actually having a hand in the initial process of the water cremation.
Ryan allowed me to feel at ease and comfortable knowing that mom and the family were in good hands throughout the preparation and celebration of mom's life.

My experience with Aquagreen Dispositions was the best service I could expect when handling my father’s funeral preparations, and was perhaps some of the best customer service I’ve experienced from any business. My mother and I wanted something different from a traditional burial, without a viewing or embalming, or a cremation by fire. These common options are not the most comforting to think about, and water sounded much better. We worked with Ryan, the owner and funeral director, who was able to answer every call, provide us with all the information, answer every question, and work with us

I cannot express what a wonderful experience we had with Ryan after the death of our mother. He was so helpful during this extremely difficult time in our lives. He sat with us for a long period of time and explained the whole process while being so compassionate while dealing with me and my sister's emotions. Part of the process that AquaGreen does is take care of all the things that loved ones don't have the heart to deal with, like reporting the death to the appropriate entities, supplying us with death certificates, etc. The package, which is unbelievably reasonable, includes an urn, thank
