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.

Funniest post I've seen on FR in years.
And you've inspired me to change my "last wishes" document too. Sure will burn my lefty in-laws, if they survive me.
No need for alkalosis... how about “natural” “green” burial.
You’re not gonna believe this.

Body is frozen, no embalming, and put in biodegradable (cardboard or fiber of some sort) casket and buried. All natural, and “less filling”. The first page states that cemeteries are “hazardous waste” sites due to the chemicals and also that the material used in so many caskets could instead build houses on the space saved. Truly, these folks would only have a problem with cremation because of global warming. Ultimate green final solution, coupled with obamacare’s “early expiration date” committees. But.... hey man... it’s organic!

Thank you for your support and understanding.
Reminds me of the retorting process used to recover a body’s water in “Dune”.
I’ve already decided that when I die I want my family to build me a huge funeral pyre in the backyard with plenty of wood and old tractor tires. That way all the greenies for miles around can see the huge smoke plume on the horizon and say “Alright, who’s the a****** putting all that pollution in the air.”
No, her search failed and yours succeeded because the search code is powered by pettiness. You know, the sort of pettiness required by silly thread cops who make it their life’s mission to bitch and moan about every duplicate post and then keep at it like a dog with a bone forever.
No, even better: they flush it into the sewer system. No, I'm not kidding.
Okay, I just don’t see what is the supposed environmental benefit of this.
There is none. Even if one were to fear CO2, it’s a natural byproduct of decomposition, which God, if you wish to look at Genesis 3:19 or if you prefer, nature desires should happen when plants and/or animals die. The bacteria which decompose life perform respiration, and release CO2 and heat as a result. In all honesty, I am going to put in my will as long as I have a say that when I die, I should decay after death, and be returned to the Earth. At least decaying and fertilizing the soil sounds better to me than getting liquified and dumped into the sewers, right?

It’s how we disposed of our dead pets in my family, and I wouldn’t mind having it done to me, because that’s the real green, gives back to the plants, some of what we took by eating them.
Cool, then all you have to do is pour the end result down the sink or toilet....or hand it over to the family in a recycled Aquafina plastic water bottle.
