Sandy Sullivan, Founder Resomation Ltd

“Resomation exists to ensure the choice of water cremation is available globally. This will be achieved through increasing public awareness, education, industry acceptance and legislative change. By accomplishing these goals and empowering the public to have a new environmentally conscious option at the end of life, the significant environmental benefits of water cremation can be realised.” – Sandy Sullivan, Founder Resomation Ltd

Resomation Ltd was formed by Sandy Sullivan in Scotland in 2007 to promote water cremation as a new alternative to burial and flame cremation as a human end of life option. At a time when public awareness of carbon emissions and environmental responsibility was beginning to enter the public consciousness, he saw the opportunity to offer people a new environmentally sustainable end of life option.

Sandy’s vision was to develop the scientific process and to make it widely available and accessible to the public. Since the early days, Resomation has expanded and developed the water cremation process through state-of-the-art patented technology and is proudly exporting the equipment around the world.

Saving our Environment

The climate change emergency has never been so prominent on the world stage with people taking responsibility for how they can help limit the damage they are doing to our planet. Water cremation has been independently found to have the lowest overall impact on the environment of all end of life options of body disposal including flame cremation and burial.

A need for change

A credible alternative

Space for burial is declining across the globe and alternatives such as flame cremation continue to pollute the atmosphere with harmful mercury emissions. For the first time in 100 years, there is a new environmentally sustainable end of life option for people wanting ot be cremated.
