Flushing out your dead

Giving new meaning to the expressions pi** on you and a drink in your honour, from the wacky world of the EU:

Belgian undertakers have drawn up plans to dissolve the corpses of the dead in caustic solutions and flush them into the sewage system.

The controversial new method is said to be less expensive and more environmentally friendly than running highly polluting crematoria or using up valuable land for graves.

The departed would go into the sewage systems of towns and cities and then be recycled in water processing plants.

Product is also available at your local US of A:

Six states in America – Maine, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Oregon, and Maryland have recently passed legislation that allow the process to be used.


In this day where environmental correctness is taken to the religious zealot's extreme and worn like an intellectual rational thinker's badge of honour we can be assured the the value of human life and death will be continue to erode in the name of Gaia.

Can Soylent green really be tooo far down the road?

I am imagining a lot more hauntings in the future, after granny and grandad come back to protest their bodies mingling with toilet refuse.
