I love shooting holes in Liberals and their “eco-friendly” BS ideas. What happens to the skeleton? Does it get buried in a coffin the morticians sell you (after you paid for the hydrolysis)? Or cremated? Or donated to a medical school?

As for me, I’ve decided on burial at sea. Then, I can feed the fish.

I prefer cremation, and my ashes scattered to the sea. The Bible says ‘dust to dust and ashes to ashes’. I don’t know how chemicals and being dissolved would fit into that scripture? Seems the use of those chemicals would be more dangerous, than cancer caused by Monsanto roundup. Just sayin...

However, the family must follow instructions of the deceased, and some cremation requests have ended up in barrels of dissolving chemicals, which means installing the body into such a container, and it sounds like a disgusting thing to me. Because in cremation the body is at more than enough temperature to take care of the bones. The body used to be wrapped in cloth and laid on table, and then the table went into the crematory to the fire! Civilized, not barbaric.

For those who didn't read the article, the bones are pulverized and transmitted to the bereaved as the ashes would from a traditional cremation.
