VIN CE Course: Open to veterinarians.
This course is approved by RACE for veterinarians. (RACE 22-28864)
Course Information:
Using lye to reduce the body to bone is a very old process.
Its formal name is alkaline hydrolysis and thanks to some new technology
and pioneer manufacturers, it's gaining popularity as an environmentally-friendly
and sustainable option in aftercare. Some of you may know it as Flameless Cremation,
Bio Cremation, Green Cremation, or Aquamation. To be clear, it's not cremation at all,
but rather a very gentle unique way of reducing away the soft tissue so all
that's left is the carcinogen-free skeleton ready for ash processing.
Over this 90-minute session, we are going to talk about this new option gaining
fast popularity around the country and world. And yes, they use it for people too.
