Boil in the bag funerals

[Knight]

Boil in the bag funerals could be given go-ahead



Alkaline hydrolysis uses water, alkaline chemicals, heat and pressure to break down a body into liquid and pieces of bone, which can take between two and 18 hours.

Bones and teeth survive the process and are ground into a powder to be returned to the family, while the rest of the body is broken down into liquid, which can be sent to the sewers.

These funerals have been known as a water burial or resomation, but have colloquially been dubbed “flushed away” and “flush and bone” rituals.

What do others think about this as a great way to stop using aceage to bury people.

Boil-in-the-bag funeral. Think I will go with burial. Alkaline hydrolysis is not unlike cremation, and that really makes my blood boil!

I think re-composting the body is a better way to go.

Doesn't sound like it would be environmentally friendly. Too many chemicals.

Burials seem to me to be self-indulgent, and again, unfriendly - since they take up so much space.

Then again, I'd be happy to be driven out into the desert and left for the coyotes to recycle my corpse.

unless your blood was drained 1st.

This probably would be frowned on.

Bottle the liquid and advertise it as the perfect drink to have with Soylent Green

Could work.
Another option might be.
Chill the liquid from obese liquified corpses to capture the fat/grease to be recycled for deep fat fryers.

Any other gross suggestions?

God haven't had them for years now you've got me yearning for sum. In my little ozzie town we have always had a fresh butchers - purchased some bones for the dog there last week so next black puddings - omg mouth watering - delicacy of the north

I've looked into "green" burials and really like the idea of it much more than any other way...

I mean you are dead, so it really doesn't matter how they dispose the body. Personally, I want cremation, and my ashes put down my septic system. 4 days before closing, the septic permit expired. No septic permit= NO financing, and my apartment lease was up. I went through hell to get that permit. That septic system is mine for all eternity.

I'm learning more and more to cremation - once my soul has been taken care of that's that

[Aunt Bea]

It doesn’t really matter to me.

I suppose that plain old composting would be the most natural or maybe part of a buffet at the zoo.

IMO it’s all about the money, selling the sizzle instead of the steak.

If there isn’t a way to turn a substantial profit it probably won’t fly.

Cremation is the way to go. Cheaper and does not take up needed land.

Some folks freeze their bodies after death and then they are stored waiting for science to finally revive them back to life.

I'd prefer reaction, but if "Piraha Solution" was offered, I'm for it.

"Boil in the bag funerals" could be of interest for chemistry nerds

The thought of being cremated doesn't bother me, that's my choice of disposal. Truthfully even the thought of degrading underground doesn't bother me, though I find the burial process a waste of space. Even being dissected for medical research or organ harvest doesn't bother me, just cook me when it's done.

But the thought of being disloved in a bag of goop is just ickey, no thank you.

It's the way all the rest of nature works. I love nature, and the thought of being recycled back into it just makes sense to me. It's even something one could look forward to when the time comes, instead of being reduced to a small pile of ashes. JMO

Boil, bake or fricassee makes no difference to me...I'll be gone and not in any position to argue or care about how I'm disposed of.

 

[Warrigal]

How many more ways can we think up to pollute the water that we depend on?

My ashes will be interred in a wall at a memorial garden where several generations of my family have been buried or cremated. Hubby's family is also well represented there.

The cemetery is a beautiful garden in the midst of suburbia. Future generations interested in family history will appreciate having somewhere to visit as they seek to discover their roots.

 

[Michael Z]

I do not see this any more dignified than a quick burial in a closed pine box. Just a lot more chemicals and expense.

That's my interpretation of reincarnation. As our body breaks down and decays we are absorbed into the earth and atmosphere where our essence is spread into the wind and water. We are then reborn in things that creep and crawl, fly, swim and walk, or simply grow from the earth.

My choice if legal would be burial in the woods behind my home, no casket or embalming, simply placed into the earth. Local zoning says that's a big no no though, so my choosen alternative is cremation and my ashes poured into the natural spring or creek so I can forever become part of the land I love.

The whole concept is horribly disgusting.
