In this episode, Jason and Nichola Threadgold explore the emerging process of resomation, often referred to as ”water cremation” or alkaline hydrolysis.While not yet widely available in the UK, the duo discusses how this pressurised, water-based process offers a flameless alternative to traditional cremation. They break down the science behind it—from the alkaline solution used to speed up natural decomposition to the pure white, ash-like powder that is returned to the family at the end.The conversation dives into the potential benefits and hurdles of bringing resomation to the mainstream. Jason and Nichola weigh the environmental advantages, such as lower energy use and reduced air emissions, against practical concerns like the significant infrastructure costs and the time-intensive nature of the process.
