Fast body decomposition in a water solution. Bones then ground into powder. 28 US states allow it.

What happens to all the non-bony tissue that was dissolved in the solution?

Soylent Green?

I prefer (and elected) this process for my final dirt nap: (Terramation)

https://returnhome.com/

Only approved in 13 states so far, but Return Home accepts out of state deaths (without embalming, not allowed, reefer only). About 11 states have submitted bills for legalizing. I would think the other 12 facilities probably would too depending on their facilities/capacity.

To me, the end result looks like small bits of "beauty bark". Process is about 60 days (includes cooling time). There are options for jewelry mementos, retaining the "soil", etc. I've been to their facility, not like any other "funeral home" you've been to. No black suit & tie affair here, Micah is usually wearing jeans, tees and sneakers.

I am not affiliated with them in anyway other than using their services. I don't like their pre-planning option of using an insurance policy with them as the beneficiary. I bought a T-note instead.
