Water Cremation Cost
Clear pricing. No hidden surprises.
When arranging a funeral, understanding the costs involved is an important part of making an informed decision.
As water cremation becomes available across the UK, Aquatorium® is committed to providing transparent pricing and helping families understand exactly what is included in the service.

How much does water cremation cost?
As water cremation is still an emerging funeral option in the UK, pricing is continuing to develop.
The total cost will depend on several factors, including:
- The type of funeral service you choose.
- Whether you use a funeral director or arrange services directly.
- Transportation requirements.
- The location of the Aquatorium®.
- Additional memorial or ceremonial services.
As Aquatorium® facilities open, detailed pricing will be published so families know exactly what to expect before making any decisions.
What’s included?
Every Aquatorium® water cremation will include:
- Professional care of your loved one.
- Secure identification procedures throughout the process.
- Water cremation carried out with dignity and respect.
- Preparation of the mineral remains.
- Return of the ashes to the family or funeral director.
- Compassionate support throughout the process.
Additional services, such as funeral ceremonies, celebrants, flowers or memorial products, can be tailored to your individual wishes.
Comparing funeral options
Like traditional cremation, the overall cost depends on the type of funeral you choose.
Direct Water Cremation
A simple, unattended service without a funeral ceremony.
Suitable for families who wish to arrange their own memorial at a later date.
Attended Water Cremation
A traditional funeral service or celebration of life before the water cremation takes place.
This option allows family and friends to gather together while choosing a gentler alternative to flame cremation.
Memorial Services
Some families choose to hold a memorial service after the water cremation, allowing greater flexibility over the location, timing and style of the farewell.
Is water cremation more expensive?
Initially, water cremation may cost slightly more than some traditional cremation services while new facilities are established.
However, as availability increases and more Aquatorium® locations open, costs are expected to become increasingly competitive.
Our focus is not simply on offering another funeral option, but on delivering a compassionate, premium service that families can trust.
Planning Ahead
Many people choose to plan their funeral in advance to give their family clarity and peace of mind.
Pre-planning allows you to:
- Record your wishes.
- Explore available funeral options.
- Understand likely costs.
- Reduce uncertainty for your family.
As Aquatorium® services expand, information about future planning options will also become available.

We believe funeral pricing should be straightforward.
Whenever Aquatorium® publishes prices, they will be:
- Clear and transparent.
- Easy to understand.
- Free from hidden fees.
- Supported by a full explanation of what is included.
Families should be able to compare their options with confidence and make decisions based on accurate information rather than unexpected costs.
