Aquamation: how Archbishop Tutu’s body was ‘cremated’ in water

The video tutorial explains aquamation, a process also known as alkaline hydrolysis, as an alternative to traditional cremation. It involves placing the body in a pressurized cylinder with water and alkaline chemicals, heated to 150 degrees Celsius. This method accelerates the breakdown of organic materials, leaving only bones. Aquamation is more energy-efficient, emits no harmful gases, and results in more remains compared to flame cremation.
