Replying to @🍁🇨🇦Alex🇨🇦🍁 Answering more questions about water cremation:
What do water cremated remains look like? Can you still do everything with water cremated remains as with flame cremated remains? 💧⚱️💎

What questions do you have about cremation?

If the urn has been waiting quietly on a shelf, in a closet, or in the back of a garage, you're not alone. Research suggests that most cremated remains taken home eventually find their way to these "in-between" spaces. Not from lack of love. Often from lack of options.

This Saturday, March 22 at 2:00 pm PST, Parting Stone Founder and CEO Justin Crowe joins Gillian Nye of Better Place Forests for a free online workshop by The Death Network. Together, they'll explore what it looks like to find a resting place that truly reflects the life that was lived, and the relationship you shared.

No pressure. No urgency. Just education, possibility, and the kind of conversation that helps something sacred feel tended to.

It's free to attend. Link to register is here: https://www.meetup.com/the-death-network/events/313532608/

Yesterday Orchid Cremations attended the Fields of Luck 5k !

We handed out water and gave out wildflowers seed packets (that I, Savannah made and filled by hand with love!) and chapstick. We also sponsored and brought a photo backdrop just for some extra fun! 🍀💕

Our office in Carlsbad overlooks the Flower Fields and for us attending this event was just another way we Care for the Community! We’re not just another cremation provider, as a husband and wife independent owned funeral home I think it’s important to be in the community and attend events! We had a great response from the community and lots of authentic dialog in a casual environment.

Thank you for having us!

Today’s question asks if water cremation is more sustainable and better for the planet as opposed to flame cremation. 💧⚱️🔥

Both flame and water cremation options are a valid choice for families and this is just some information that might be an important deciding factor to some.

Replying to Answering this weeks community question: this question is in regards to a witness cremation. A witness cremation is when the family of a loved one can come and witness the start of the cremation process.
