Default Don't want to be cremated? Be liquified and then poured into the sewer!

A new alternative to cremation is being introduced in the sunny state of Florida.

. . . the Resomator submerges bodies in a potassium hydroxide solution in its steel chamber, then pressurizes (to about ten atmospheres) and heats (to over 350 degrees F) the solution for about three hours. After that, the resulting liquid is simply poured into the regular sewage system--it apparently poses no environmental risk and has passed Florida's undoubtedly strict laws for this sort of bio-disposal. Bones remain and are pulverized to ash in the usual way, and any metal bits (including mercury and any prostheses) are retained to be disposed of or recycled in a more responsible way.

If they still have to do something with your bones, what is the point?

Human bones are an oftentimes important ingredient of magic spells.

I like this. I would want my remaining skeleton converted into an animatronic, novelty, singing Halloween skeleton the grand kids could bring out every year.

I plan on being cremated and then having my ashes shot out of a confetti cannon over the Glenmore Reservoir.

I actually want my body to be shot out of a cannon through a jet engine to splatter on a giant piece of paper. Then that art will be sold to a Canadian museum for several million bucks.

Then those several million dollars will be used to make a anonymous donation of several million dollars worth of ice cream to Jenny Craig.
