Disposal, my eye! They’re going to sell it."
...as well as anything else they can harvest, reprocess, and establish a market for.

Excerpt only website: A Glasgow-based company has installed its first commercial "alkaline hydrolysis" unit at a Florida funeral home.
The unit by Resomation Ltd is billed as a green alternative to cremation and works by dissolving the body in heated alkaline water.
The facility has been installed at the Anderson-McQueen funeral home in St Petersburg, and will be used for the first time in the coming weeks. It is hoped other units will follow in the US, Canada and Europe.
The makers claim the process produces a third less greenhouse gas than cremation, uses a seventh of the energy, and allows for the complete separation of dental amalgam for safe disposal.

Well, let’s see, if I am allowed to rot in the soil after I die, that should be green, shouldn’t it?
I wish it were legally possible to have graveyards in orchards. Bury the bodies six feet under in fertile soil. I like the idea of growing a tree. It would sure put an end to the funeral home business.
Please get one. Soon. Before you drive us all crazy.
Still my favorite line in the piece. Mom, is this iced tea grandma or grandpa!
So instead of my widow picking up my ashes, she’s handed a gallon jug.
ROFL
Sick-
>> So instead of my widow picking up my ashes, she’s handed a gallon jug.
I wonder if you have to refrigerate it.
And, if you do, I wonder if you could use it to play a nasty prank on that @#$%^& roommate who always drinks out of the jug instead of using a glass.
Gads..these people are insane! Now you can’t even DIE without worrying about frakin ‘greenhouse gases’!
HEY LIBS..FOR THE LOVE OF GOD....LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE!!
More work for plumbers!
“Green” is a meaningless BS word that should not be used unless describing a color.
Never know what you'll find at warehouse sales.
I’ll bet that things smells great under operation. Wouldn’t want to be the guy that stirs the pot to keep it juicy - might see some stuff bobbing around that you wouldn’t want to see.
Jeez, these are people that would not have complained about Hitlers ovens except for green house gases.
Come on, sweetie, they’re about to flush Grandpa down the drain, you wouldn’t want to miss that, would you?
I guess though it’s all just the same path.. If one ceremony is meaningless, then all ceremonies become meaningless... But that’s ok, homosexuals shacking up and calling themselves married doesn’t hurt anyone at all..
Look here, FRiend. MamaDearest posted an interesting article and we’re having a good time kicking it around and laughing.
I don’t *care* that it was posted before (at NINE IN THE MORNING, as it happens — a long time ago on internet time). She posted it again and I’m enjoying it.
Now please take your sack of turds and go find a different punchbowl to pollute, ‘k?
