The environment friendly alternative to cremation

Well this might sound a bit morbid, but you can now bid farewell to your loved ones in an eco-friendly way. The Resomator is turning the funeral business in UK a shade green. This washing machine like contraption is a smokeless alternative to cremation. Using chemicals, the machine helps decompose the body quickly.

Costing around £300,000, the Resomator is filled up with a mix of water and potassium hydroxide that helps dissolve body tissues and organs speedily. Placed in a sealed silk or wooden coffin, the body is placed on a stainless steel shelf inside the metal cylinder and the chamber is heated to 180 degrees, breaking down the body in less than three hours under extreme pressure. This may sound frightening at first, but it does save the ozone to an extent. And then again, there’s always the burial alternative.
