The process, used in the US and Canada, will be available later this year through Co-op Funeralcare.

My first reaction on reading about this was “ewww”, but actually probably a pretty good idea.

  This still requires heating, but not the 800C or so that cremation does, which requires a LOT of energy.

Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
