Popular Post Social Media Posted July 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2023 Water cremation is set to be available in the UK for the first time. The flameless process sees hot water and lye used to dissolve the body’s fat and tissues over the course of about four hours, leaving behind only the bones. This is essentially a sped-up version of what happens naturally when a body is buried underground, as the body’s cells are slowly broken down. Crematorium staff instead powder the deceased’s bones into a fine white ‘ash’, which the bereaved can scatter or place into an urn.

So the fat and tissues go somewhere else? How much do you get back with cremation? It seems a tad strange.

It's an interesting one. Caring for the dead is a sign of civilisation, but would different body disposal really be a step back? One would assume that whatever remains there are would still be treated as remains have been up until now. Perhaps one day, in the distant future, civilisations will look back on us now and say that no longer caring about an empty husk once the life has gone was the first step towards becoming what they will consider "civilised" in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak2002003 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 This can't be good for the environment. More huge plastic bags with toxic chemicals soup and human remains inside. How to they dispose of them?. They try to say cremation is bad as it makes harmful ennisions, but this new way will be worse. How do they think the water gets hot...magic? Best way is to chop up the body and feed to the seagulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybott Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 In the USA they are turning dead bodies into compost. The process takes about a month. So far it's been legalized in 6 states. So now you can compost your deceased loved one and use thier composted remains to fertilize your vegetable garden. If you're interested look up "Recompost" in Wikipedia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
