T'other day I was reading about the 'eco friendly' way that Desmond Tutu had chosen to be disposed of. Apparently he was to be 'aquamated' (I think that was the term). It seems that this method requires the heating of a bath of strong Alkali in which the body is then dissolved until only the bones are left. After that the bones are ground up and then buried. Yes, maybe that would use less energy than burning the corpse but surely the most eco friendly, carbon zero way and also the simplest would be to dig a hole and put the body in it, maybe in a bio-degradeable bag or straight in naked as the day it was born?
