Extraordinary section on this evening's Newsnight about new 'green' funerals, soon to take place in the USA and probably shortly to arrive here. Fairwell to the spade and the gas mark 10; the idea being that the body is dissolved in an alkaline solution, leaving the remaining bone matter to be crunched up and given to the bereaved. This will, we are told, greatly reduce carbon emissions and allow the retrieval of tooth fillings, which contain similarly harmful mercury. Basically, then, a process of liquidization, by way of which, anyone could be labelled a bit of a smoothie!
Whatever would Leslie Phillips say?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV0lKD3KPsc
