[News] A new alternative - dissolved in a bag

[Is it PotG?]

Water cremations

As an alternative to burial, cremation or planted as a tree, the UK will have a new option.

 

[Bakero]

Water way to go.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

I have already booked my water cremation funeral plane with Ocean Gate.

All for it. Environmentally friendly, least fuss. I feel like they’re taking the mickey with the pricing a bit, but they’re taking a commercial risk by offering something new, so hopefully prices drop a bit once it establishes itself.

 

[The Clamp]

Sounds a bit chemically to me.

I’d prefer to be fed to ‘gators.

 

[SurreySeagulls]

I've just told the kids to drop me into a pig field and let the soon to be sausages have a fine last meal

The challenge the proponents face in the UK is two-fold: selling the concept to the public (cost is definitely a factor here), and persuading the water companies that what will end up going in the water course is essentially harmless (eg no dna). Will be interesting to see how it progresses ...

Dearly departed.

Much mist.

Can't swim...

Seeing this beneath the thread about Newcastle fans, I assumed it was about their owner's latest atrocity.

I for one will wait to see some user reviews before I commit.

Think I'll give water biscuits a miss

Clamp, we'd all prefer you were fed to the gators.

 

[The Clamp]

How very dare you!

9/10 - would die again.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Can’t see there being a dry eye in the house

Bit of a biting comment there.
