Water cremation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis or resomation, is a newer method of body disposition that is becoming increasingly popular. It is a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cremation, as it does not release air pollutants.
If you are considering water cremation, you can make provision for it in your will. In your will, you can simply state that you wish to be water cremated. You can also specify any other details you would like, such as the type of urn you would like your ashes to be placed in.
Here are some tips for making provision for water cremation in your will:
• Be clear about your wishes. State that you want to be water cremated, and specify any other details you would like.
• Use specific language. Avoid using terms like “natural” or “green” cremation, as these terms can have different meanings to different people.
• Update your will regularly. If you change your mind about water cremation, or if the laws surrounding water cremation change, be sure to update your will accordingly.
If you are considering water cremation, we recommend that you speak to a lawyer to discuss your specific wishes and to ensure that your will is properly drafted. We would be happy to discuss a new will or amending your current will when water cremation becomes available in the UK.
