The first flameless cremation facility for humans in the state of California is now open in San Diego County.

White Rose Aqua Cremation in Escondido offers a completely water-based, eco-friendly end of life. It combines water and an alkali solution to accelerate the decomposition process – saving 90 percent more energy than flame-based cremation and preventing fossil fuel and greenhouse gas emissions.

“You have a new industry and your city was chosen to be the first person not only in the county, but also in the state,” said Escondido Mayor, Paul McNamara.

It’s a process that some prefer not to talk about, but that we all face – what happens to a body after death. For most, burial or flame-based cremation is the result.
