I was watching Youtube and found this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWo2-LHwGMM
It's about alternatives to cremation and embalming/burial. Some of the main points Caitlyn Doughty makes is that embalming is hazardous to the environment and cremation using heat is also environmentally unfriendly.
She went into length about alkaline hydrolysis; a means of rapidly decomposing a corpse into bone fragments which are then ground into smaller pieces prior to returning to the next of kin.
It seems only a few states allow alkaline hydrolysis for human remains. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali...(body_disposal)
It is claimed that the practice was prohibited in one state after the catholic church said "you can't do that because of my religion".

The process also has raised religious concerns. Alkaline hydrolysis was allowed in New Hampshire for a few years, but the state banned it in 2008 amid opposition from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Manchester, which argued it "is undignified and disrespectful at the most basic level." |
