How Raleigh Aquamation Services Work: A Natural Process with a Gentle Approach
Aquamation, or alkaline hydrolysis, relies on water, warmth, and time—not flames or high emissions.
- The body is placed in a stainless steel chamber
- A mixture of water and potassium hydroxide is added
- Low, consistent heat encourages natural breakdown of tissues
- After 6–8 hours, only bone and a sterile solution remain
- Bone fragments are processed into pure white ash
Families receive ashes just like with traditional cremation, but without chemical residue or environmental impact. With Raleigh Aquamation Services, you can choose a path that’s respectful to your loved one and responsible to the earth.

During our family’s time of shock and grief, Renaissance walked with us and were kind, compassionate and took care of everything we needed expeditiously and made us feel like we were the only ones they were helping. 10/10 recommend.
-Dawn Shriver
When my father passed, the people at Renaissance Funeral Home were wonderful. I appreciate that they are locally owned and not a big, thoughtless corporation. They were kind, compassionate, and their expertise was obvious. I would recommend them to anyone.
-Don Rasbridge
I would not hesitate to recommend this funeral home for your loved ones in the Raleigh area. I have used their services for both of my parents. They are thorough, efficient, caring, and very professional throughout the whole process. They also have great connections with all of the other services you may need in the area during this stressful time, which is very helpful. A special thanks to Heather for her incredible responsiveness and for taking the time to get to know the families and for observing the wishes of those that have passed.
-Rebecca Goldberg
In these situations, you need a careful balance of sympathy and professionalism, and that is exactly what we experienced at Renaissance. In particular, Aly was superb. A knowledgeable and caring person who really helped us throughout the process. The other funeral homes I spoke to seemed “corporate” while Renaissance was “genuine”.
