WHY CHOOSE US

Why Choose Us

At Tranquility Cremation By Aquamation, we offer a gentle alternative to flame cremation—known as water cremation or aquamation. This natural process uses 95% water and a small amount of alkali to return the body to its basic elements, leaving behind only the bones, which are then processed into fine ashes for the family. This eco-friendly choice produces no harmful smoke or greenhouse gases, and it provides families with up to 20% more ashes than traditional flame cremation.

Choosing aquamation means placing your trust in a team that honors your loved one with the utmost respect and care. Whether you're arranging for a beloved pet or a cherished family member, we handle every step with tenderness and dignity. We also offer a thoughtful selection of cremation keepsakes, including urns and jewelry, to help you hold onto a meaningful piece of your loved one.

For those who prefer a simpler approach, direct water cremation is available. This option does not include a formal service but allows you the space and freedom to honor your loved one in your own way—whether that’s a quiet gathering, a moment of reflection, or the scattering of ashes in a special place. Pre-planning your arrangements is a meaningful gift to your loved ones, easing their burden during a difficult time. We also offer the option to prepay for added peace of mind.

We are honored to serve all New Hanover, Pender and Brunswick Counties. If you're looking for grief support, our caring staff can connect you with helpful resources, including reading materials and local support groups.
