Burial and cremation are established forms of saying goodbye. But environmental and social developments are giving rise to new options. What might saying goodbye look like in the future?<\/p>\n

About 135 years ago, the Sihlfeld cemetery set a milestone by opening Switzerland\u2019s first crematorium. Today, the city of Zurich is reviving that pioneering spirit and introducing two innovative methods for consideration: composting (Terramation) and alkaline hydrolysis (Lavation).<\/p>\n

Both methods are resource-efficient and low-emission, and contribute to a more sustainable funeral industry. They are already being used successfully in other countries\u2014but in Switzerland, these approaches are still in their infancy.<\/p>\n

Learn more about these forward-looking funeral options and discuss them with us. We look forward to seeing you at the Old Crematorium Sihlfeld D!<\/p>\n
