Heard this story on Market Place earlier this week on a new process called resomomation -- an alternative to green burial. Click here for a link to the radio story.

Six U.S. states have approved of a new, low-carbon way to dispose of human remains called resmomation. It involves reducing the body to a mixture of liquid and minerals. A group of funeral directors in a northern Belgian province wants Belgium to take the lead and adopt the new approach.
