At Osiris we want to give you an alternative for a better tomorrow.
Traditional methods of body disposal are expensive, for both your wallet and our planet. National Geographic found that on average each cremation releases two-hundred and forty kilograms of carbon-dioxide into our atmosphere (This is as much carbon-dioxide as a small hatchback would dispel driving from Sydney to Adelaide). Traditional burials aren’t much better, with all of the world’s cemeteries and burial sites making up an area slightly smaller than Portugal. If this was a forested area it would remove forty million tons of carbon-dioxide from our atmosphere each year. If we want to maintain the integrity of our planet and its environments as our population continues to grow, we must find new ways of honouring our loved ones and their lives. This is our mission; to provide quality eco-friendly end of life solutions for you and your loved ones that will endure into a better future.
The service we offer is best described as a cremation alternative. Promession is a respectful process which does not alter the body or introduce any foreign substances. The body is freeze dried and distilled into ashes without the environmental impact of emissions from burning. Recyclable metals are removed from the ash and the rest is used as the nutrients for new life. The form of the new life is to be chosen by the family or individual and can be any form of flora. The finished product of nutrient-filled ash containing the new life seed are given to the family to be buried. From the burial; the chosen plant will grow as a respectful celebration of a life lived.
