In a BBC article, Neil Bowdler discusses how an Anderson-McQueen funeral home in St. Petersburg, Florida, is now equipped with the first commercial "alkaline hydrolysis" unit.  The unit dissolves a person's body in a heated solution of potassium hydroxide pressurized to 10 atmospheres.  The makers of the unit claim the process produces a third less greenhouse gas than cremation, uses a seventh of the energy, and allows for the complete separation of dental amalgam for safe disposal.
