The Philadelphia Tribune
Inside a white brick building in West Baltimore, a long silver chamber full of water seesawed back and forth over a platform.
Within it, a body dissolved. Skin, flesh and organs turned into amino acids and sugars with each tip of the chamber. In a matter of hours, all that remained were bones and the leftover watery solution.
This process, which is called alkaline hydrolysis, but is known more colloquially as water cremation, has been gaining popularity across the country since it was first used in the funeral industry in 2011, according to the Cremation Association of North America. More than half the states in the U.S. have legalized the process, according to the association. Maryland joined the list last spring. Soon after, the Joseph H. Brown Jr. Funeral Home started offering the service. The Maryland Health Department said Brown’s is the only funeral home it is aware of that offers the service in the state. More
A deeper dive on water cremation with a sense of humor unusual for the dissolution of human remains…

Jeffrey Dahmer would be impressed.
They never mentioned what is done to the skeleton. Do they sell it to medical schools?
For “do it yourselfers” a lime pit is a much better method.
“The resulting liquid from the process would need to go down the sewer…” There in lies the rub. Waste from water cremation has to also be treated before dumped into a lake or river. NOPE. Don’t want to swim in your granny’s remains let alone drink it. Progressives and other libtards narcissism is literally toxic.
To heck with the nice Chianti.
Lemme have a glass of that instead!
Around here when they empty the honey wagons (septic trucks) they go to a designated field and spray the contents of their haul over a wide area to dry. Shouldn’t the remains from this method of disposal be done in a similar fashion?
The Mafioso has used this method for over a century. No great expense, just a 55-gallon drum, a tight lid. No state approval needed.
A barrel murder was a method for disposing of the bodies of people killed by early American mafiosi since the 1870s. The victims, would be found stuffed inside a barrel after being shot, stabbed, or strangled to death, and left on a random street corner, back alley, swamp or shipped to a nonexistent address in another city.
“Honey, have you noticed the water is tasting a bit like Grandpa?”
“It isn’t just that, dear, the air smells like old people.”
“And they say they’re using dead bodies for fertilizer now in our state. Come to think of it, the food tastes funny.”
”Eww!!!!”
…just have Oceangate build a few more Titans.
Theyre pretty good at liquefying human bodies already.
No Titanic required…
Only one mortuary here and they charge $3k. So much for dying on the cheap.
^^^Don’t want you to leave anything behind for your loved ones.
it’s like flushing Granny down the toilet

Fascinating read—water cremation seems like a more sustainable alternative to fire. Curious how families perceive it compared to tradition.
