‎"Body tissue is dissolved and the liquid poured into the municipal water system."

And then later, on the very same page:

"Once they see the unit running, see the process and how dignified, respectful, quiet and quick it is, they will help to push through legislative change in the UK."

Nothing says "dignified and respectful" like juicing grandma and pouring her down the drain. :P

Why was this my first thought?
soylent green - the scene

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

It was my first thought too...

Followed up by the dialogue from The Matrix about how the dead are recycled and fed to the living at the power stations.

Without getting political or religious, as an atheist I don't care if they grind up my body and shoot me out as confetti over Times Square.

This makes sense. Using up valuable land to bury a hunk of rotting flesh in a $8000 box under a $2500 stone is absurd in my opinion. I have asked my family to send me off with a viking funeral just so I don't take up space and I go out in a blaze of glory.

If the idea of dead folks getting into the public water supply creeps you out, hate to ruin your day but groundwater filters through cemeteries too. As long as all biological waste and bacteria are destroyed, sign me up.
Every time I meet a new group of your friends that understand you and your weird sense of humor I'm a little more amazed that there are other people in the world like you that lived through childhood - My loving girlfriend

Yeah, i'd prefer the Viking funeral as well. I've already told my fiancée that I want to be roped to my 996, set on fire, and pushed over a cliff  ;)

Another vote for the Viking funeral.

Much more kickass, plus all the other less important benefits.

I was very upset when I first went to Italy and saw that cemeteries are not, in fact, bicycle parking lots.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I realize this, and I wouldn't say I'm creeped out by the fact. However, "dignified" simply isn't the adjective I'd use to describe it.
