Bonus Content:  Alkaline Hydrolysis

This bonus session picks up where ACCA's alkaline hydrolysis webinar ran out of time. Dr Georgina Robinson - a death studies researcher at the University of Melbourne - goes into the back story the main session couldn't cover.

She traces the process from an 1888 chemistry patent through medical schools and the Mayo Clinic to today's funeral market, maps where it is and isn't legal worldwide, then shares the richer findings from her fieldwork: the four motivations that actually drive a family's choice.

She closes on who pushes this legislation through, who opposes it, and why opposition tends to fall away once regulators understand the process.

What you'll gain:

  • Where alkaline hydrolysis is legal, pending or in legal limbo - and why the map keeps moving
  • The four motivations research shows drive family choice: environmental, gentle, water-based, natural
  • Why uptake reaches 50–70% of cremation families where it's actively offered, and stalls where it isn't
  • How the "gentle" framing comes from families rather than marketing - and where it tips into misrepresentation
  • What actually moves legislation
