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.

The process, known as resomation, uses a mix of potassium hydroxide and water to break down human remains in what is billed as a more sustainable option.
It takes four hours - the bones remain, and are powdered then returned to loved ones in a similar way to ashes, in an urn.
Neat! Quite literally based.
Your username in proximity to this topic makes me giggle.
