Not a fan. I want my children to keep my bones around so that they have something for Halloween.
Skip this step
This dissolves the body tissue, leaving only the bones - which are then rinsed at 120C, dried, and pulverised into a coarse powder using a machine called a cremulator.
Not too many -inator machines out there, glad to see the corpse disposal industry repping
Why do I get results of soft serve ice cream machines when I search for cremulator.
what do you think they put in it?
Soylent green ice cream!!!
(But the machine is always broken.)
Mmmmm, crème-brutilator …
Oh, there’s still powdered remains. From the title I thought you’d end up in a liquid state. I was imagining a situation where someone’s uncle got drunk at a family party, and then in a booze hunting frenzy accidentally drank the bottle that contained someone’s mother-in-law.
Don’t let that stop you. We’ve gotta figure out how to make it into a drink now. Since it’s the UK, maybe we could make tea with the ashes?
Using that as a chaser for my MAID cocktail
Deathstills are now real I guess?
Scotland really going to keep me from sitting on a throne of skulls, huh?
Did a water cremation for a family pet two years ago. They say it’s more eco friendly than burning. Idk but it wasn’t cheap
Article says it avoids 320 kg of CO2 emissions which is equivalent to 800 miles driven or about 2 weeks of a home’s energy use. It’s not that much, even on a personal scale. Like, you kind of save that much energy anyway by not being alive any more to use it.
Actually it only avoids 275 kg of CO2 since the electrolysis process still has some emissions.
They only give you the bone powder? What are they doing with the sludge?
Given that they need planning permission from Scottish Water? Sewer.
They are going to have the cleanest drains ever.
gardy loo!
Bodies are wrapped in a shroud of biodegradable material
The powdered remains are given back to relatives in an urn.
What’s the point of the shroud being biodegradable if you’re going to keep it in an urn?Actually, on second thought, they don’t have to keep the remains in an urn. They can scatter them. Never mind lol
When I was looking to cremate my beloved cat, this was also an option, but I went with the traditional method.
Forbidden soup.
are you allowed to drink the wet heap of remains or is this just a fancy way to end up with the some boring urns
The latter. Come to the US, and you can do it while you’re alive! :)

Huh. I hated all of that. Thanks for sharing!
I assume this involves been smoked through a massive bong and because of that I’m in.
Just throw me in a pile, omg. Who needs this convoluted process?
I was going to say that piles stink, but we already have landfills. I’ll write that into my will now.
…LCL?
