Alluvium Water Cremations
About the company
Alluvium Water Cremations is 100% Tasmanian, family owned and operated, founded by directors Luke and Brendan and based in Southern Tasmania. The company was founded to offer an alternative to flame cremation.
Its core service is water cremation using an alkaline hydrolysis process, carried out at its Mornington facility. It states this process uses 90% less energy, produces about 10% of the carbon footprint, zero direct greenhouse gas emissions, and returns 20%+ more ashes than flame cremation. The direct water cremation service includes handling all legal paperwork and the Death Certificate and hand delivery of the ashes, and the company coordinates with a family's chosen funeral home or funeral director if requested.

Thank you Luke for such an informative and positive tour of the Alluvium facility today. Your service is a great asset for Tasmania.
Brendan and Luke provide exceptional service and assistance at every step through the loss of a loved one. Could not recommend highly enough.
Alluvium provided exceptional care and compassion following the loss of my Dad. From the beginning, Brendan took the time to listen and worked with us to ensure everything was done exactly the way we wanted, which meant so much to us. Brendan has continued to check in with us, which has been deeply appreciated. The delivery of Dad’s ashes, along with the beautiful accompanying mementos, was handled with such thoughtfulness and respect, and these will be treasured by our family. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness, professionalism and genuine compassion shown by the team at Alluvium, and would highly recommend them to any family looking for a more personal and caring experience.
The guys at Alluvium were easy to deal with and punctual with their service, thanks again
The Alluvium staff (Brendan and Luke) were very respectful and I can highly recommend them and their service. The treated my Mother with warmth, dignity and respect.
From the moment we met Brendan at Alluvium we knew we'd made the right decision. We were made to feel comfortable from the beginning, the process was explained to us and Brendan kept us well informed throughout the whole process, no question went unanswered and nothing was too much trouble. We were also impressed with the respect and consideration shown to both us and our loved one. I have no hesitation in recommending the team at Alluvium water cremations. Christina Crawford
We recently used Alluvium Water Cremations when our dad passed. The owners, Brendan and Luke, were so accommodating, professional and could not do enough for us. This gentle and environmentally friendly cremation is the way of the future! We are so happy to recommend them and in fact we have done so to many of our family and friends. Brendon has been excellent with communication and has gone above and beyond in supporting us through this very difficult time. 100 percent happy with every aspect of the process and service. There is a negative review below but this is grossly inaccurate and comes from a completely ignorant position from a person who was not involved in the process nor were they the paying customer. Alluvium has a very professional area to meet with clients by appointment but they do not operate as a “shop front” as such. My brother and I completed the paper work and were therefore legally the next of kin and able receive dad’s ashes, which we agreed to being delivered. The close family members (living in Tasmania) are all extremely happy with the service provided by Alluvium and Brendan, who we primarily dealt with from start to finish. 10 out 10!!!
