It should not surprise anyone that in a state of approximately 75% cremation services that a State Assemblyman is pushing forward a bill introducing Alkaline Hydrolysis as a legal form of cremation.  According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal Assemblyman Nelson Araujo of Las Vegas has introduced Assembly Bill 205 which would legalize the process.

The process is legal in some states and Assemblyman Araujo believes that the liquid cremation method is a greener alternative to flame-based cremation.

Under his bill, crematories would have to notify the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection when they are preparing to purchase the flameless cremation system.

Funeral Director Daily take:  There is no doubt in our minds that Alkaline Hydrolysis is here.  The jury is still out as to whether client families will embrace its method of reducing the body to ashes over the flame cremation method.  If client families embrace the method then those early adapting firms will have a head start on market share.[wpforms id=”436″ title=”true” description=”true”]
