Endswell offers cremation, green burial, and aquamation. Many people are drawn to aquamation because it is as green as natural burial and as convenient as traditional cremation. We are the only aquamation facility in the Triangle and we are honored to be able to offer this unique service in addition to cremation and natural burial.

Water cremation, also known as Aquamation, is a simpler, gentler, and more environmentally friendly option that avoids greenhouse gas emissions and consumes only a fraction of the energy as flame cremation. Bodies are cremated in a gentle alkaline solution that accelerates the natural decomposition process and returns the body to its elemental form. After the cycle is complete, bone mineral remains are returned to the family.

Communities across North Carolina are running out of space in local cemeteries; and most traditional crematoriums release toxic compounds and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. We offer a new way that benefits us all. Endswell is committed to caring for the environment and the well-being of our community. By providing water cremation, we honor this commitment to future generations.

At Endswell, we are reimagining the traditional funeral home and introducing people to an alternative option that is cleaner, more practical, and heart-centered. Through our eco-friendly aquamation, green cremation, and natural burial services, we provide genuine support to families during life’s most difficult transition.

My experience with Endswell was exceptional from start to finish. Hunter and Veronica were both very easy to work with and showed kindness and compassion to all of my family members. Jordan did a great job with the on line obituary and was very patient with all the additions and changes that were made.The various urns that were available are made by local artisans and are beautiful. I chose multiple small urns that were given to all my mother's children and grandchildren. I highly recommend this company. It is run by good people and provides an eco friendly alternative to cremation.

Hunter, Veronica, and their staff were truly a pleasure to work with. My wife and I were impressed with the amount of respectful professionalism, sympathy, and compassion that was evident throughout the awful experience of losing a child. It is one of the most difficult things a parent has to endure but Endswell honored our various requests and quickly performed the cremation as we were not from the NC area. Endswell made the whole experience much less traumatic than we had expected. They handled everything seamlessly from obtaining the body, shrouding service, selecting a travel approved urn, hand delivering the ashes, publishing a memorial with pictures, and preparing all the associated paperwork. During visitation, both my wife and I received one on one compassionate understanding to make it through our toughest times. Thank you so much for everything! – John C.

My mother passed in early June of this year. We live out of state and were luckily able to spend some quality time with her in her last weeks. The hospice facility we worked with gave us a list of funeral homes to work with and they highly recommended Endswell. As we looking into it we were very interested in the aquamation process and LOVED that they carried urns from local artisans and crafts people. We actually were table to talk about the process with my mom and pick out an urn with her. Once we made the decision to work with Endswell, Hunter and his team were incredible! My husband and I live out of state and they were able to work with us remotely. They are so responsive, patient, and knowledgeable. They made making preparations so easy during such a challenging time. They educated us on the steps that we needed to take, answered ALL of our questions, and we put 100% of our trust in their team. When my mom did pass, Hunter and his team messaged me right away and kept me updated on the where they were in the process. They mailed my mom's remains and the urn to us. They made the process of setting up an online obituary SO EASY and offered no limits on photos to include, etc. While it's always difficult to say goodbye to a loved one and I say goodbye to my mom way too early in life, they provided so much comfort and support and made this part of the process seamless and easy. I can't recommend them enough!!

Endswell is a beautiful place filled with caring, creative people and stunning art. Multiple urns from Endswell hold the physical memory of my loved ones, including my cat Milo. The red of the "soul" reflects the warmth between us, and the green detail reminds me of his eyes that I still see. I recommend with confidence Hunter and Endswell for the depth and expanse of their death care.

When I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, I seriously looked at how to deal with my final arrangements. Aquamation is one of the least impacts to our environment so I pre-registered for my needs. However, we have used Hunter and Veronica's services for 2 of our loved ones which just passed this year, and we were completely satisfied with their support and care. I am totally confident that they will handle all the aspects of my transition after I die. Knowing that my survivors will not have any challenges is such a peace of mind. I HIGHLY recommend them.
