Mortuaries Mull Dissolving Bodies as Burial, Cremation Alternative

CONCORD, N.H. — Since they first walked the planet, humans have either buried or burned their dead. Now a new option is generating interest — dissolving bodies in lye and flushing the brownish, syrupy residue down the drain.

Just not appealing at all. I know its just a body but I don't want to be flushed like a goldfish. I'd rather donate my body to science than that, although I think cremation is the way I'll go.

Eww. I'd like to be wrapped in burlap and be fertilizer for my garden. I don't think that is legal, though.

Cremation. I don't want to be flushed down the toilet or something. I'll save that for my ex.
