During a boil in the bag funeral, the body is wrapped in a biodegradable shroud, often made of silk or wool, and placed in a pressurised steel chamber.
The tank is then filled with a liquid made up of 95 per cent water and five per cent of an alkaline chemical such as potassium hydroxide.
The body is heated to 150°C (302°F) under pressure, which ensures that it does not actually 'boil'.
Over three to four hours, this replicates the natural processes of decomposition that would normally take decades to occur inside a coffin.
Finally, the resulting liquid is cooled, treated, and poured into the drains, where it is processed alongside normal wastewater.

I agree, it sends a message to the living that the human body is nothing special and warrants no merit. God is mocked as his ultimate creation is mistreated and this teaches others we ae nothing to be respected, just another piece of nature with no inherent value.
You get worms, bugs, bacteria, fungi, mold, etc. eating the body in the grave. Those creatures defecate and urinate on the body. Is it really any different?
Remember you are from dust and to solution and precipitant you shall end up.
“Body? What body? No body, no crime!”
You can always have a weekend at Bernie’s set up. Sure you’re family would love that.
Yes, because that is nature, not some manmade process for the purpose of expediency and convenance.
What you are saying is similar to the logic that a terminal ill person will die soon anyway, so just kill him now, that is not God’s plan at work.
This is satanic and no way to treat one of God’s creatures.
But is it really “normal wastewater”???
How is this preferable to cremation?
Why don’t they ferment it and pass it around the pub during the deceased’s “celebration of life”?
Anybody know where you can be buried in a simple pine box with no embalming or other postmortem frills?
yes, or you could go for plain cardboard even.
there are several places that do that in the US just search for “natural burials”
I suppose they think this is progress, because someone told them to think so.
At least your ashes become a nutrient to the soil.
Sous Vide humans?
SOLENT GREEN?
> I’m partial to sprinkling the ashes over the sea.
I’ve been on the downwind side of that. Ten years later, it’s finally funny.
Eventually.
