Cremation to be replaced by eco-friendly freeze-drying of corpses|...

From the page: "So as bizarre as it sounds, growing numbers of councils are signing up to the idea of freeze-drying bodies. The process involves dipping the body in -196C liquid nitrogen until it is brittle, and then placing it on a vibrating mat so it disintegrates into powder."

what would happen if water was added?

Interesting concept, but I would do a little research about how environmentally friendly it really is before I got too giddy; sounds like spin.

Makes sense to me. Eventually once over-population really takes hold something will have to be done with the bodies. Just think, in another 1000-2000 years religion will have evolved to include 'freeze-dried' corpses into our mythologies. Gotta love it.

From the page: "Funerals in Britain could soon end with the body of a loved-one being frozen to -196C in liquid nitrogen and then shaken until it disintegrates into powder." Very interesting idea.
