A Gentle, Sustainable Goodbye
At Endswell, we understand that saying goodbye to a loved one is one of the most personal moments in life. That’s why we offer aquamation, a gentle and eco-friendly alternative to traditional cremation.
As one of the few providers of aquamation in North Carolina, Endswell is committed to offering a service that not only honors your loved one’s memory but also reflects a deep respect for the environment.
Our aquamation process, also known as water cremation, allows for a dignified farewell that minimizes environmental impact. With significantly less energy consumption and no harmful emissions, aquamation offers families a sustainable way to honor their loved one.
A Thoughtful Approach to Final Arrangements
The process of choosing how to say farewell can be overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to balance tradition, cost, and environmental concerns.
Many families are seeking options that honor their loved one’s wishes while also caring for the planet. That’s where aquamation steps in, offering a simple and natural solution that provides the same respect and closure as traditional cremation.
Aquamation is not only gentle on the environment but also provides peace of mind to families who are looking for a modern and sustainable approach to funeral care.
The Aquamation Process: Respectful and Eco-Friendly
Aquamation is a water-based process that uses a solution of water and alkaline to gently break down the body, mimicking the natural decomposition that occurs in the earth.
In contrast to traditional cremation, which uses high temperatures and produces greenhouse gases, aquamation requires only a tiny fraction of the energy and releases no harmful emissions.

Transportation
We safely transport your loved one to our Chapel Hill aquamation facility.
Step 2:
