Buried, burned or ‘breaking bad’?

I mentioned this in another thread just now, the lack of burial grounds has apparently instigated the search for novel ways of rendering our dead down like a horse for glue.

Dissolving our loved ones in caustic potash is now thrust upon us by the Co-Op's advertising department as "the new and green way", maybe you get a posthumous dividend?

Luckily I managed to get my late parents buried here at home, rather than dissolved in a stainless steel flask and their skeletons crushed to dust in an industrial pulveriser...

I take the view that as you're born out of star material and it's all recycled, you may as well be buried and a tree stuck on top of you.

I'm not sure that an alkali bath would be as environmentally friendly as we'd be lead to believe. In the end the manufacture of chemicals, the resulting soup then needs solidifying unless you're buried 'wet' and the resulting output is likely to be too alkali unless yet another chemical is needed. The result could be that the ground/water table becomes polluted with alkaline soup.

Just waiting for the Soylent Green solution, the rich fad becomes to feed the poor..

Hunter S Thompson was shot out of a large cannon (ashes I believe).

I've seen ashes scattered to the sea, interred etc. For me I would prefer the body that took so much from the planet is released back - perhaps buried at sea in the Mariana's trench.

Ocean internment could be something Ocean Gate could fully diversify into, they seem to be tentatively investigating the enterprise.
 
I'd like to be buried, or maybe some kind of new age eaten by foxes job. I just find cremation such a polluting waste of energy/nutrients, I'd rather be somewhat useful in death, if not in life!
 
I have thought of this in the past and in reality I wouldn't care if I knew I was just going to be dumped in a skip after I am dead.

Or just prop me up at the dispatch box in the HoC, al a Weekend at Bernie's, as I couldn't do a worse job that Truss and Kwarteng.

I think tying my corpse to an office chair in a necrotic form of spin the bottle to shape economic direction would do better than the conservative party..
 
I really dont care, im guessing by that point ill just be glad to be dead

from a purly selfless perspective, whatevers cheapest for my daughter to deal with. Id rather she spend the inheritance on clearing her mortgage and champagne for the wake
