Outfit Your Water Cremation Facility — Ancillary Equipment from $3,987

Aquamation — also called alkaline hydrolysis or water cremation — is the fastest-growing trend in the death care industry. When over 80% of families choose water cremation after learning about it, facilities are racing to add the capability. But the water cremation vessel is only one piece of a functioning aquamation operation. The body storage, transfer, lifting, and processing equipment surrounding the vessel is what makes the workflow work.

American Mortuary Coolers supplies the complete ancillary equipment lineup that every aquamation and alkaline hydrolysis facility needs — coolers, lift systems, processing stations, and transfer carts. Ancillary equipment from $3,987. Most items in stock and ships today.

Ancillary Equipment for Aquamation Facilities

Why the Water Cremation Trend Matters for Your Facility

• Family demand is real: Funeral directors offering aquamation consistently report 80–90% of families choosing water cremation when it's presented as an option.
• Eco-friendly advantage: Aquamation uses approximately 90% less energy than flame cremation, produces zero direct emissions, and returns a neutral pH output safe for environmental return.
• Operational longevity: Alkaline hydrolysis systems last 25+ years without the expensive re-bricking flame crematories need every 5–10 years — and the ancillary equipment around them lasts just as long.
• More memorialization: Families receive approximately 32% more bone mineral remains for memorialization compared to flame cremation.
• Growing legal acceptance: Aquamation is legal in a growing number of states, with more legalizing each year.
