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.

    I think it’s great that more options are being made available.

    I really wanted a tree/woodland burial (tree planted over whatever is left of the body), but honestly, it sounds like a more eco-friendly option would be resomation, then just feeding my delicious nutrients to a woodland. Or my garden!

    Edit: Just some more info, apparently the name of the process is “aquamation”, and Resomation is the brand name of the company doing it in the UK.

    Grauniad has described it as “Boil-in-the-bag”, which is hilarious.

    Sous-vide when?
