About Us

We are a family-run business that has grown out of our practical experience in human, animal and equine crematoria. Drawing on this experience, as pioneers in lavation and aquamation, we develop patented, water-based funeral technologies to help shape a funeral culture that is both dignified and sustainable.

ABOUT US

Family business with responsibility

The decision to invest in an alkaline hydrolysis system is a long-term and sensitive one. With over 20 years’ experience in operating human, animal and equine crematoria, we combine practical expertise with pioneering work in water-based processes.

Our patented lavation process and our aquamation systems represent dignified, energy-efficient and regulatory-compliant solutions – developed from the operator’s perspective.

With Lutz Systems, you gain not only technology, but an experienced partner at your side.

Milestones

2020

Research facility for the adaptation of EU regulatory frameworks

In collaboration with the University of Hohenheim, we began validating the process using the first research facility for domestic animals.

2022

DESIGN, PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE FIRST LAVARIUM FOR HUMAN BURIAL

Drawing on our existing knowledge, we have adapted the alkaline hydrolysis process to our values using German engineering expertise. The result is a new alkaline hydrolysis process – we call it Lavation: the gentle way

Pioneering work with experience

Choosing an alkaline hydrolysis facility is a decision that will last for many years – and one that involves a particularly sensitive form of burial. This is precisely where the Lutz family’s strength lies: we combine over two decades of practical experience in cremation with genuine pioneering work in new processes.

For more than 20 years, we have been operating crematoria for humans, animals and horses, and we understand the day-to-day realities, the responsibilities and the expectations of relatives and operators from first-hand experience. This includes innovations that have set new standards in Germany – from the country’s first horse crematorium to the first aquamation facility for horses in Europe.

We have developed our own patented process that makes alkaline hydrolysis a particularly dignified, gentle, yet reliable and efficient form of burial.

Our systems are designed from the operator’s perspective: well thought-out in their workflow, compliant with regulatory requirements, energy-efficient and designed so that bereaved families can feel at ease with the chosen form of farewell.

Those who choose Lutz Systems therefore get more than just technology. You are working with a family that bears responsibility in crematoria on a daily basis, that tests its innovations in practice and personally supports you from the initial idea right through to ongoing operations.
