The UK’s biggest funeral care provider has announced that it will start offering water cremation, also known as resomation, services later this year. But what exactly is it and what is its impact on the environment?
Good ol’ UK. Can’t use my hosepipe to use the water I pay for to water my tomatoes I’m growing because they are now £250 per kg in the shops. However businesses can use whatever the fuck they want.
Don’t use your own water to help save the planet……… Oh look, we’re now washing bones to help save the planet….
This has not much to do with water consumption, but it describes to chemically dissolve corpse flesh instead of burning it. The bones will remain and they have to grind them down.
“Water Cremation” just sounds a lot nicer to potential customers and might remind of a funeral at sea. Bringing grandpa to the “Flesh Dissolver” would be a more appropriate term but probably bad for business.

Nice rant, but you should read the article.
