Here’s a new alternative: freeze-dry burials designed by those futuristic Swedes. By freeze-drying the corpse in liquid nitrogen, sound vibrations then shatter remains into powder and laid in coffin made of corn starch and buried in a shallow grave. Contents become compost in 6mths and relatives can plant/bush/tree on the spot. “The compost formed can then be taken up by the plant… The plant stands as a symbol of the person, and we understand where the body went,” says Biologist and head of Promessa Organic Susanne Wiigh-Maesak who would very much like to become a white rhododendron. The company has applied for a patent on her method in 35 countries younger Swedes are keen on the idea as “green burials” are becoming popular there. (BBC).
