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.

Exactly, just bury the corpse in the ground such that no animals can dig it up, respectful and decomposes just fine.
5-10 years is all it takes with a natural burial
Close enough to Soylent Green!
“Do people HAVE to be dead to apply this amazing technology to them? Asking for a friend.”
LOL
Exactly.
This is no better - no worse than cremation.
That picture made me laugh.
About eight years ago, I was scattering my mom’s ashes on the beach in Indian Rocks Beach Fl. I was taking handfuls and scattering them at several places on the beach. I grabbed a large handful and flung it out over the surf.
About that time, a gust of wind blew inland and I got a bunch of my mom’s ashes back in my face. Not nearly as bad as the video you posted but enough to make me sputter a bit and wipe my face.
I am pretty certain my mom was somewhere laughing as she saw that.
And then we drink and bath in that treated wastewater..
Just when you think crazy reached it’s maximum.
So THAT’S where haggis comes from. 🤮
>> Metal parts, i.e., hip implants, etc., don’t melt. They get separated out from the ashes with magnets and recycled.
With *magnets*??!? That’s sooo Harbor Freight! Around here the orthodocs favor nonmagnetic titanium. 😉
In the Atlanta area there is a cemetery that offers natural burials. It’s called Honey Creek Woodlands. It is located in Conyers, GA on property owned by the Monastery of the Holy Spirit. Check out their website:

Someone, somewhere will take this “product” and start selling it as a “super fertilizer,” which will eventually give all of us “Madcow Disease.”
That’s your inner Catholic talking.
Anybody know where you can be buried in a simple pine box with no embalming or other postmortem frills?

Yes, where I live (Caribbean). It’s the only option on the menu.
Or, try this Mid-Western company. https://www.theoldpinebox.com/pages/about-us
I’m with you on this one.
It’s raining Grandmas and Grandpas
Ah, so it ends up in the drinking water. Only a matter of time before muslims declare it needs to be halal and that they need to do a proper killing first.
Some people just want to leave no trace behind ..kinda’ sad.
I had a relative who had his body willed to science in the late 60s We found his writings and he was not happy with his life.
I think that’s referred to as natural burial. I think that’s how they interred my son-in-law’s brother. He died as a teenager and is buried on the family property in an unmarked grave.
