Which Cremation Is The Right Choice For Me Or My Loved One?
Choosing the method of cremation for a loved one is a deeply personal decision, and understanding the differences between flame and water cremations can help you make an informed choice that aligns with your preferences and beliefs. Both methods serve as eco-friendly alternatives to traditional burial and have unique advantages and considerations.
Flame Cremation: Flame cremation, also known more as traditional cremation, is the more widely practiced method. It involves intense heat, generated by natural gas or propane. This process usually takes several hours. One of the main advantages of flame cremation is its widespread availability and acceptance, making it a convenient and affordable choice for families.
Water Cremation (Alkaline Hydrolysis): Alkaline hydrolysis cremation is called by many different names such as, Fireless Cremation, Aquamation, Resomation, Bio Response or simply water cremation. This process is called a ‘cremation’ because the remaining skeletal ashes can be presented to the family in an urn just like with traditional cremation. 
Ultimately, the choice between flame and water cremation depends on factors such as personal beliefs, environmental concerns, and financial considerations. It's essential to consult with a funeral professional and carefully weigh your options to ensure that the method chosen honors your loved one's memory in a manner that aligns with your values and preferences.

Simplifying Cremation Services with Dignity and Affordability
Welcome to OnSite Cremation, a cutting-edge crematory and ceremonial plaza conveniently located within the Joseph H. Brown Jr. Funeral Home at 2140 North Fulton Avenue in Baltimore. We specialize in providing both alternative and traditional death care services that truly matter.
In an era where traditional death care services are commonplace, we recognize the growing popularity of cremation services. At OnSite Cremation, we emphasize the significance of not just choosing cremation but also arranging a memorial service. A memorial service is a tender remembrance, allowing for a heartfelt tribute even when the departed may not be physically present. This can include creative representations like an urn or cherished photos and personal items.
Even for those opting for what's commonly known as a "direct cremation," we encourage families to consider a ceremony of remembrance. This ensures that those who have left us are not simply overlooked but are genuinely honored and remembered. Whether you're familiar with the term "direct cremation" or not, taking this extra step to commemorate a loved one with a memorial service can be a beautiful expression that aids in the healing process after the loss of someone dear.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at (410) 383-2700. Our licensed professional team is available 24/7 to assist you in any way we can. At OnSite Cremation, we are here to support you and your family.
