Thank you for showing the public the details of all that takes place with aquamation. Our 16 year old Labrador Retriever passed yesterday, and we chose to aquamate her because she loved the water, plus it seems so gentle. She deserved only the best.
@234576able It was about $300 because we chose to do a private aquamation for her. We had a Vet come to our home to help her cross the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge and then Heavenlee came and picked her up and they returned her to us 48 hours later.
@@johndavid5618 they use enough of the acid to break down the body . no more no less . its weighed in proportion to the body to be dissolved at the end its basically jsut dirty water . the process sterilises it too . its jsut mush that fish can eat and breaks down on the river beds for plants to enjoy
Grandfather died. Kinsfolks have heard about aquamation, but don't know what is it. After process they got soap from their Grandfather ... "Earth must be clean, you must be clean to Grandma. Soap for everyone!". And after that she died too from heart attack...
Do you know if this is available on the East Coast? I hope I won’t need your services for another 50 years or so (well…you never know 🤔) but next to natural organic reduction I would much prefer this option over flame based cremation. By the way I saw a video on VICE that showed some eco friendly funeral directors keeping the remaining water and donating it to groups that use it to regenerate parklands in the Northwest due to the nutrients found in the waste water. Have you consider including that option to your system?
Excuse my ignorance, I don't fully understand so it makes it all break down into liquid then gets emptied into the sewer. It then gets to the water treatment plant gets cleaned then we eventually drink it and the cycle goes on ?
Yes, because water is not destroyed it recycles, so every glass of water you drink could at some point in it's history have been peed out of a dinosaur, been used to wash garbage cans out, was part of the latex paint someone used and washed their brushes in the sink afterwards...
I was thinking the same thing! But truth is everything from paint companies to morticians flush everything into the sewers and we trust that the water treatment facility can magically turn the water into 100% clean drinking water with more chemicals!
Once the body into the tank, is there any way to view the interior of the tank with the body inside getting to speak covered with the chemichal solution and th ewater before the process begins and along when the process is getting done? Another question, is is possible to be into this process with no tissue covering the body? (We came into this world naked why not being able leaving it as we came into it. Naked pure with no fabric getting mixtup with our body desolved liquid.
WTF you want a viewing window for? Gonna rub one out creepo. Of course it's possible to complete process without sheets, that's how it's normally done. They just had a little class and didn't show that on YT especially with necrophiliacs like you watching. Can't you just watch porn like a regular dude. SMH
I believe so…much like a pressure cooker! However it is also the same process as making soap as well hence the lye…alkaline hydrolysis. The fat in the body becomes the soap. More soap from a fat person I guess. Cremation is also cooking then burning our loved ones. In my opinion I believe that allowing nature to manage the problem is best with natural burial. Cremation and alkaline hydrolysis wastes precious natural resources.
No, the LYE (sodium hydroxide) that is added to the process is what does the job, the heat assists it. Ive used lye in a rubber tub full of water to soak 150 year old cast iron artifacts to remove the 1/4" thick layer of old paint on the pieces, the lye bath takes all the paint off in a few minutes right down to bare metal. Adding lye to water generates a fair amount of heat from the initial chemical reaction too. Lye by the way is used to saponify fats to make SOAP, so powdered lye is solf on-line where soap makers buy and use it in their soap making process. It's a very strong substance that you dont want on your skin or splashed in your eyes it will start acting fast!
It's my understanding that after this disposal process was approved by the state legislature (in NH, IIRC), a year or two later the legislature repealed the law and made aquamation no longer an approved disposal procedure for final remains. Why?
Basically a large pressure cooker and chemicals that dissolve all the soft tissues of the body. It’s less harmful to the environment than burning cremation or filling a body full of carcinogens that seep into the ground from regular burial. The bones are ground up to powder, just like regular cremation, and given to the family. It is a lot less expensive than regular embalming and burial. **The info was good. The video was horrible! The movement was so fast it was almost worthless.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I want to setup this in my country but needs good workmanship to create a simple aquamation machine or international collaboration
Thanks for taking the time to review your process - highly informative. I was trying to find the segment where you shared why you chose 1 over the other (Bio vs Aquamation). Can you point me to that video? After using it for 1 year, what're your thoughts?
The terror cartel known as Los Zetas in the late 2000s did the same with blue barrels and acid. They had a guy by the name El Pozolero or Soup Maker, turn humans into nothing.
It looks like the same process as making Biodiesel, as im guessing you have to weigh the person so you know how much methanol and sodium hydroxide to usr
The process time is set at 2 hours. The rest is flooding, heat up, cooldown and draining. Not sure where in the video you heard that but it had nothing to do with dissolving flesh.
So in a few words the biologics of the body is liquefied and poured down into the sewers leaving only the bones. What do they do with the bones?????. The water goes on to pollute the lakes, oceans etc. or rest in the sediment.😱😱😱😱
The water goes to a water treatment plant. It's no more dangerous than the sewage, runoff from golf courses, roadway rain water runoff, or industrial water that goes to the treatment plant.
Интересно, сколько электроэнергии расходуется при данном способе утилизации (иначе не назовешь) тела? Насколько безопасны отходы? Фактически, останки человека выбывают из круговорота веществ в природе. "Прах к праху... " - этот принцип нарушается. В чем экологичность метода?
It’s actually the silk bag the body goes on for aquamation. You’re required in most states to provide some kind of “cremation container” or “aquamation container” that the deceased are in prior to being processed. That is what you’re seeing here.
So it melts a human body and the sludge is flushed into the sewer. I don't find that to be "super impressive." There's got to be a more respectful way to do this.
Sooo....exactly what do you think is done with all of the blood and waste that is removed during an embalming, for example? What is left is really no different than soapy water here, it is far less impactful on the environment and far less wasteful than cremating with fire which requires an outrageous amount of energy. If you are that concerned about it, I recommend that you get in touch with some folks in Denver that will actually use the runoff to water trees and return it to nature properly. Or, you could opt to keep a gallon or two for yourself and water your rose garden with it. If your definition of "respect" is dependent on what happens with natural human waste, then you should truly recalculate your expectations of life. Personally, I opt for this before being wrapped in the ground or polluting the skies with an unneeded waste of energy. Believe me when I say that the funeral industry absolutely loves people like you.
@@gabrielreyes8476 you don't seem to understand what happens during this process. The liquid isn't blood, like what's drained before an embalming. It's literally the liquefied skin, muscle, and organs of the person, minus the bones. If you think it's ok to flush a person into the sewer, you've got problems.
Cartel style even here them going down the drain 🤨 Melting with chem and being cooked and water blasted then washed down the drain ending up in the sea isn't for me.
Im curious are you really a lic FD? You don’t dress like one and a loved one is not considered a subject ! You forget to mention. That it also has line in the chemicals I am a lic FD and I would never disrespect a loved one by calling them a subject
Yes, license #76 in the State of California. I have been licensed for decades. Your choice of words leads me to believe that you are a corporate funeral home drone wearing fancy threads and charging the next of kin for every stitch. All of that expensive phony empathy and buzz words is exactly what Jessica Mitford warned consumers about in her book THE AMERICAN WAY OF DEATH. I will stay in my work cloths, do the job properly and efficiently and pass the savings on to my clients. If you truly want to show respect and empathy start with your client's wallet.

""But not down the drain and into the sewers..!""That ends up in our water system can that be healthy..!, with all the chemicals they use....? 👀

If the shroud or fibers are natual then they will be dissolved as well. Cotton for example
28:17 I am so curious to know, what are those zigzag things?
Looks like it hold the body down?
So let me get this straight. With these high temperatures we are actually cooking our loved one... am I correct?

More soap from a fat person I guess. Cremation is also cooking then burning our loved ones. In my opinion I believe that allowing nature to manage the problem is best with natural burial.

It is like cremation, but they use liquid.

All true

It's a very strong substance that you dont want on your skin or splashed in your eyes it will start acting fast!
what does the sludge look like?
It is a clear liquid. We did an analysis of the effluence and it was devoid of any bacteria, pathogens, heavy metals or any other pollutants.
It's my understanding that after this disposal process was approved by the state legislature (in NH, IIRC), a year or two later the legislature repealed the law and made aquamation no longer an approved disposal procedure for final remains. Why?
Wait? Your a time traveler? This vid is only a year old...
This is great.. What happens with the remains, buried?
They are similar to cremated remains so they can be buried but most of time go home with family in urn.
Correct
I think they should have even a little more familiar with the machine before they started. Seems like some things didn’t go quite right.
I didn't see the skull amongst the other bones. Did it disintegrate during the Aquamation process?
It was there. Look closer. 💀
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Why is it not 100% automated when it comes to lowering and raising? It has a motor so why not?
Good question... We are working on that also. eg. letting a hydraulic ram do the tilting.
cost, the machine is like $175,000 and up...

**The info was good. The video was horrible! The movement was so fast it was almost worthless.
Agreed! This is one of the worst quality videos I have seen for such an expensive new process.
You are exactly correct. I concur that my video skills suck.
@@themortuarychannelgiven that there are very few videos on this new method I appreciate any video at all.
i would explain the process on tripod then show it in a seperate cut. appreciate the video @themortuarychannel3977
What happens to the skeletal remains?
They are processed by grinding in a processor exactly the same as flame cremation.
Can the water be reused for multiple cremations?
More envromentally friendly.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I want to setup this in my country but needs good workmanship to create a simple aquamation machine or international collaboration
are you in Germany ?
Which is cheaper, aquamation or cremation?
Thanks for taking the time to review your process - highly informative. I was trying to find the segment where you shared why you chose 1 over the other (Bio vs Aquamation). Can you point me to that video? After using it for 1 year, what're your thoughts?
What happens to the waste? Has to go somewhere?
Yes down the sewers not a nice thought.!
You get turned into potassium nitrate finer than silt. My friend's family just got his remains Thursday back.
You turn into a Gatorade drink
Do you normally wear ear plugs or something to protect your hearing due to the noise level?
The noise level of these machine are minimal. No Need
So as the chamber was tilted upwards does that mean the animal slides to the bottom???
The animal? It's a human in there.
It would be nice to do a chalk talk about what is going on with the body.
Great suggestion, I will post that soon, thanks!
Why does it have to be at a 35 degree angle ? to catch the silt?
No, that is to make sure the submersible heaters in the rear of the machine are under water. Otherwise they would burn out.
So this is what happened to Desmond Tutu's body
Mexican mafia would love these machines....
El Pozolero...
It's a good way to preserve the bones if you want them for studdy
The terror cartel known as Los Zetas in the late 2000s did the same with blue barrels and acid. They had a guy by the name El Pozolero or Soup Maker, turn humans into nothing.
Appreciate the demo 😍
Umnnn que interesante desapareció la sabana blanca !!
It looks like the same process as making Biodiesel, as im guessing you have to weigh the person so you know how much methanol and sodium hydroxide to usr
Does the human waste go into the sewer system?
"" Yes not a nice thought for you loved one.!
No, it gets dried into dust
My friend's family just did him poor guy. He is like silt.
Yes, but at that point the remains have been saponated and are no longer human remains (at least technically/legally)
thank you for showing this but your staying zoom through 95% of the video but none the less good video
As a mechanic/gearhed, if they could turn me into biodiesel and complete my journey through an engine I’d pay up
That would be true biodiesel
Como puede decir hermoso al ver los huesos están enfermos 😢
Did anybody hear the guy saying it needs more time? The amount of flesh was still left on the bones needed more time in the water cremation machine
The process time is set at 2 hours. The rest is flooding, heat up, cooldown and draining. Not sure where in the video you heard that but it had nothing to do with dissolving flesh.
Geeze…. I should’ve taken Dramamine before watching…..a guy could get motion sick…

Don’t idea of my body winding up in a sewer. Contamination of another kind.
Just ideal for the evil Govt places like this will be very busy in the coming Months
5 hours ⌛!!!
We are working on reducing that time frame as we speak.
Obviously left the sheet on the “subject”, since it’s not a human body. LMFAO 😂
I'm sure they did that for modesty and privacy of the deceased. The bones in the chamber look pretty human.
