Gone to a better place

Grandma’s going green:

Belgian undertakers have drawn up plans to dissolve the corpses of the dead in caustic solutions and flush them into the sewage system.

The controversial new method is said to be less expensive and more environmentally friendly than running highly polluting crematoria or using up valuable land for graves.

It’s not as hard to swallow if you just think of it as a form of eco-reincarnation:

The departed would go into the sewage systems of towns and cities and then be recycled in water processing plants.

  2. and the “waste” from the water treatment plants goes…….?
    just like “electric” cars are really coal-powered cars.
    leftism is a mental disease. as long as gaia is happy 🙂

  3. My thoughts exactly,
    mmmmm Soylent Green.
    Gotta love the left though, life would just be too easy without them.
    Maybe thier rich friends like Bill Gates can move his death panels back a few decades for Liberals?
    They can graduate college then head strait into a kavorkian van right after the prom. Then a little side trip to Jeffery Dalmers pad for a little liberal sexual freedom, then strait into a vat of acid.
    They got it all planned out…….

  5. How about we flush only Progressives down the sewer (just the dead ones for now) and the rest of us just keep on keepin’ on? M

  9. I can see it now, a mistakes/bloopers of the funeral home future:
    “Dearly Departed… *FLUSH* Oh Sh%t! Frank NOOOOO!!! We’re not done yet!!!”
    “What’s that leaky toilet valve sound?”
    “Oh crap it’s flooded again! Someone get a plunger!”
    “Does MOEN make rebuild kits for these?”

  10. Let me ask the crystal fellat-ers here a simple question, is the human body “organic” or artificial?

  11. Wickedly contemptuous of Humanity. Any other Christians here besides me who have an opinion like mine of the ultimate source of this idea?

  13. Some cemetaries rent plots. You pay for x number of years, dig up the bones and re-rent the space. Why pollute the water more than required?

  15. Caustic solutions? Going down the drain?
    Aside from being gross and dehumanising to the human person who was once someone’s uncle, ect. wouldn’t that be just unhealthy for the living?

  18. “I guess this won’t make my dead relatives ‘spin in their graves’!”
    not sure…at least in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere or is it counter…?
    Why not just do what Europeans have been doing for years – at least in some places – take out the bones after a number of years and put them in a mausoleum.

  19. From ashes to ashes,
    from dust to dust,
    is that Aunt Gertie,
    or some caked on rust…

  20. Why stop there? I bet that corpses could be turned into eco-fuel. Why waste the potential energy? Certainly a more palatable solution than Soylent Green.

  22. Dave in PA, this may be a real dumb idea, but how is it contemptuous of Christians? Doesn’t Christianity teach that it doesn’t matter what happens to the body, since you will be given a new one?
    The people with the religious objections are the old-fashioned Egyptian polytheists, and whatever other mummy-cultists there may be. The rest of us just think this is in bad taste, but it’s not anti-Chistian.

  24. Caustic solutions, I love it.
    I can’t get a car dip-stripped because its environmentally unfriendly. Sand blasting is unfriendly. Even -baking soda- blasting is considered toxic and bad. Baking soda mind you, the kind you make biscuits with.
    But these guys are going to dissolve -tons- of organic material with lime or lye or whatever, and then flush it? And this will be enviro-friendly?
    Sure.

  26. So does this include those who lie in Flanders Field where poppies grow between the crosses row on row????? Grrrr!

  28. You know, the Nazis patented an oven that recycled the melted fat and used it as fuel. True environmentalists them.
    These Belgians watched too much Sopranos.

  30. Gawd do those progressive loons ever use logic or commonsense? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, go ahead flush grandma down the tiolet, I’d rather be in the sewer than forced to live in Eurabian under a Progressive leftarded government.

  32. My Belgian ancestors are rolling in their (now apparently temporary) graves. Where is Vlaams Belang on this issue?

  33. What are the names of these people who want to implement this? Ever notice you never hear who they are? There is a “spokesman for” or a “representative of” but never an actual name.

  34. Willie Pickton took parts of his victims to a reduction plant that manufactures meat meal, a staple in farmed fish (like Atlantic Salmon)food.
    Only wild caught salmon for me thanks.

  36. Ebt, I would consider this grave (no pun intended) disrespect to the dead as unChristian. Whatever your beliefs maybe, a departed loved one does not deserve to be flushed down the drain. Call that “cultist” if you like.

  38. It is a matter of historical record that the Nazis
    were environmentalists; and that many were firm if not fanatical vegetarians.
    Hitler apparently allowed the serving of meat soup at his table, but called it “corpse tea”.
    Yes, Christians are opposed to the dissolution of the body, for the same reason that they oppose cremation.
    I personally would not care to fertilise my tomatoes with the remains of my dead grandmothers.

  39. Anyone read the article in the link? It already is happening.
    Six states in America – Maine, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Oregon, and Maryland have recently passed legislation that allow the process to be used.
    Although experts insist that the ashes can be recycled in waste systems, the residue from the process can also be put in urns and handed over to relatives of the dead.

  40. Palmolive commercial:
    “Dishwashing liquid? No. Its Madge. You’re soaking in her.”

  42. Black Mamba>
    “I think human dignity is overrated”.
    Probably – But what else do we have, if not our dignity?
    Honering the lives we lived, if good and just, with a dignified passing away by the people we mattered to, is what makes us not the animals that so many of us are.
    Ashes to ashes, dust to dust – but did we matter?
    If this wasn’t the case, we should just allow the left to build global concentration camps, kill everyone for thier sexual pleasure then bulldoze into swimming pools of sulfuric acid.

  43. Just remember guys, you do generally get to write wills and request that this or that is done with your body (observe the example of the fellow who wanted his skull used in Hamlet. BBC honored his wishes, and Yorick is actually a fellow from Leeds).
    I’m not choosing to be liquefied, I want to be stuffed, made to look quite angry and accusatory and then mounted on a stand and left in a corner of the funeral parlor, right near the liquiefication pamphlets. And if they try to add me to the sewer, I want something REALLY toxic stuffed right in the middle of my corpse, when I’m done, that water isn’t going to be drinkable for a thousand years.
    That or mummification.

  44. Irene Swain – great minds think alike:
    findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=3365

  45. I’m really glad I didn’t go into a coma few years ago, and just awoken now to these strange times.
    I think I would be pretty weirded out by the world.

  46. I hope I won’t be reminded of this the next time Stephen Harper decides to dissolve Pariament.

  48. “Dave in PA, this may be a real dumb idea, but how is it contemptuous of Christians?…

    ebt, please read my remark again, paying attention! “Wickedly contemptuous of Humanity.”
    And I think that liquifying a human body and flushing it into a sewer is a quantum leap worse than your description as “bad taste”. It’s depraved.

  49. Soylent green????
    You guys are sooooo 60’s! Like, get with the program will ya…
    It’s yummy green organic smoothy.
    “Grannys all nice and green overthere, would you like to blend a piece of her with pineapple or mango this morning?”
