The First "Water Cremation" Service In Britain.
I caught a brief News item that this form of cremation is being introduced in Britain.
It mimics the natural decomposition by alkali produced by the particular species of bacteria, but artificially and far more rapidly. The result is a granular "ash" similar to that from cinery cremation, so can be scattered or interred by the relatives in the same way.
I knew it had been developed some while ago but not introduced here until now.
[So-called "woodland" or "natural" cemetaries have been common here for some years now; and there are I believe two, but only two, sea-burial sites around the coast.)
