The benefits of Promession

The environmental benefits of Promession, a green burial process, are extensive. It reduces our environmental impact on some of our most important resources: air, soil and water.

The main principle of this green burial method is that the body is transformed into organic, odourless, hygienic remains. This, in combination with a dedicated method to separate contaminants such as mercury, sharply reduces the impact on the environment in comparison with current forms of burial.

Promession reduces our environmental impact on some of our most important resources

Environmentally friendly

There are no harmful emissions or mercury released into the air.
Huge reduction in consumption of fossil fuels due to the use of liquid nitrogen instead of combustibles, means a significant alleviation of the contribution to the greenhouse effect.
No embalming fluids are required with this green burial process.
An important contribution to living earth as the coffin and its contents are eventually transformed into soil.

Space saving

Promession means that the remains take up far less space than traditional burial and it also allows the plot to be used again and again for future generations.

Gentle

This green burial system gives a respectful and dignified way to lay our deceased to rest by not putting the body through any harsh processes that traditional methods may do.

Traditional ways remain

Using this green burial method merely enhances our current traditions of laying the deceased to rest. The traditional coffin and funeral service or scattering of ashes still remain the same.

Operator friendly

Promession significantly improves working conditions. Operation of the promator offers a far better environment to work in compared to a cremator as the entire process is automated.
