Our Vision
Creating a new choice for future generations
For more than a century, families in the UK have chosen between two principal funeral options: burial or traditional flame cremation.
At Aquatorium®, we believe it is time for a third choice.
Our vision is to make water cremation a trusted, accessible and widely available option for families across the United Kingdom—providing a gentler, environmentally responsible alternative that reflects the values of today’s society while honouring the traditions of the past.
We are not seeking to replace existing funeral choices. We are expanding them.
A Better Choice Through Innovation
Innovation has transformed almost every aspect of modern life, yet funeral care has changed very little over the last century.
Water cremation offers an opportunity to combine proven scientific innovation with timeless values of dignity, compassion and respect.
Our ambition is to make this technology available in purpose-designed Aquatorium® facilities, giving families greater freedom to choose the farewell that best reflects the life and values of the person they are remembering.
Building a National Network
Aquatorium® is more than a single location.
Our long-term vision is to create a network of Aquatorium® facilities across the UK, ensuring that families everywhere have access to water cremation, regardless of where they live.
Working alongside funeral directors, local communities and carefully selected partners, we aim to make this new funeral choice available to future generations throughout the country.
Supporting Funeral Professionals
We believe the future of funeral care is built on collaboration.
Rather than replacing funeral directors, we want to work alongside them, helping them offer water cremation as an additional choice for the families they serve.
By building trusted partnerships, sharing knowledge and maintaining the highest professional standards, we hope to support the wider funeral profession while expanding the choices available to every family.
Setting New Standards
Every Aquatorium® will be guided by a common set of principles:
Compassion
Supporting every family with kindness, empathy and understanding.
Dignity
Treating every person entrusted to our care with the highest level of respect.
Transparency
Providing clear information, honest communication and straightforward pricing.
Environmental Responsibility
Continually seeking to reduce our environmental impact while maintaining exceptional standards of care.
Excellence
Creating beautiful, purpose-designed facilities and delivering outstanding service at every stage of the journey.
Educating and Informing
Water cremation is still new to many people in the UK.
One of our most important responsibilities is to provide clear, balanced and trustworthy information that helps families understand their options.
Through education, openness and transparency, we hope to build confidence in water cremation and support informed decision-making without pressure or persuasion.
Looking to the Future
We believe that future generations will expect greater choice, greater transparency and more sustainable funeral options.
Our vision is for Aquatorium® to become the trusted name people associate with water cremation—recognised for compassion, professionalism and innovation.
Just as crematoria became an accepted part of modern funeral care, we believe Aquatorium® can help shape the next chapter in how we honour and remember those we love.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is simple:
To provide families with a gentle, dignified and environmentally responsible alternative to traditional cremation, delivered with compassion, integrity and respect.
Everything we do is guided by that commitment.
