Promession is an ecologically-conscious method for disposing of human remains by freeze drying. It was invented and patented in 1999 by the Swedish biologist Susanne Wiigh-Mäsak.
The method is based on three steps:
1. Reducing the body of the deceased to a fine powder, thereby allowing subsequent decomposition to be aerobic. This is achieved by submerging the body in liquid nitrogen, making the remains so brittle that they shatter into a powder as the result of slight vibrations. The powder is then dried, reducing the deceased remains to around 30% of their original body weight.
2. Removing and recycling metals within the powdered remains.
3. Shallow-burying the powder in a biodegradable casket.

What should the poor worms live of in the future?
ReplyDeleteThis method disturbs the natural cycle instead.

ReplyDeleteEwwwwwwwwww Vanadis, my 50 worms will have better sense than to eat me! They will shit and burrow around in my 24 kilos of Bock-dust, together we will create a huge and beautiful oak tree!

As a reformed gardener, I am all for composting :) Either that or my preferred methods : hiding and dying in a remote ditch somewhere (see composting) or fed to my cats. Well, any cats really:)
ReplyDeleteHaha buddy I wouldn´t at all mind becoming compost for my huge oak tree, but cat food...? Hell no!
