    Here was me thinking along the lines of Viking burials with burning longships… and then I read it. How disappointing

    There was me thinking it would involve being tied to a shopping trolley and chucked in the River Clyde

    What ever happened to the idea of burying you in a pod under a sapling, and creating an entire forest instead of a cemetery? I loved that idea.

  4. you get ‘ashes’ back at the end – but is that just crushed bones? The process sounds like your flesh dissolves completely so none of that would be in the ‘ashes’ – so you’re getting back less than during a normal cremation? I like the idea of it being greener but I don’t know how I feel about not getting back the whole person (odd as that sounds when you’re getting dust in a jar)..

  5. So basically they give you bone meal in an urn and let the water be dispose as normal?

    Cool, bonemeal is grest for your vegetable garden

    It’s a rather misleading name because the potassium hydroxide is doing much more of the work than the water

  7. This is the next logical step towards the real endgoal of deep frying yer Nan.

    This is kind of disturbing to me. The process basically dissolves all your flesh and leaves just your skeleton, which is then powdered and given to your relatives like an urn.

    Think I’d rather be incinerated to be perfectly honest! Guess I’d be dead though so it doesn’t really matter haha

    Here’s me thinking you’re gonna be dissolved in a bathtub a la Breaking Bad.

    Well, there goes Scotland’s prized water.

    Also, as somebody that used to live near sewage works, the last thing they need is to smell worse.

    Also, you know, considering England and Wales share the same water system and didn’t vote for this, it’s not exactly fair.

    The series Years and Years keeps predicting a lot of things correctly! This is another one. Let’s hope they were wrong about Trump setting off a nuke..

    “The powdered remains are given back to relatives in an urn”

    Do people really want the ashes/powdered remains of their dead relative or is it just one of those things people go along with because there’s no other choice and it’s just the thing that’s done?

    Why can’t we just do burial at sea?

    Sail out a couple of miles and feed me to the fishes.

    Circle of life.

    What’s not mentioned in the article is the fact that the water and human juice is tipped down the drain into our water supply. I’m sure they’ll say it’s safe.

    I don’t wanna be put in a chemical pressure cooker thanks very much, I’m in a bad enough state as it is.

    Water cremation make me think of that episode of The IT Crowd.

    “A fire, at a Sea Parks?”

    “Remains can be returned to next of kin, as ashes are following cremation.”

    Those “ashes” are not ashes. They are just the ground up bones.

    1) Disolve all the flesh.
    2) Grind up skeleton to give as keep sake.

    Let’s Go! Melt my remains and spread the leftovers to help grow a flower garden. Been hoping this would become an option in the UK since I first heard about it years ago

  19. I went on a school trip to a crematorium once. Cremulator is a pretty cool bit of kit, like a big washing machine with massive ball bearings in it

    Where does the meat water go? Back into my drinking water system?
