California approved it this month. It's supposed to be a cleaner, greener alternative to flame cremation. The liquid remains go right into the sewer. Yeah, October is a creepy month. https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-10-22-california-passes-legislation-allowing-the-liquification-of-bodies.html
It uses potassium hydroxide (oven cleaner) or sodium hydroxide (drain cleaner). 'Water cremation' sounds better than Easy-Off oven cleaner or Liquid-Plumr drain cleaner. https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-10-22-california-passes-legislation-allowing-the-liquification-of-bodies.html# excerpt: "Despite its name, water cremation doesn’t actually make use of water. The process entails placing a body into a steel vat containing an alkaline solution composed of 95 percent water and five percent potassium hydroxide or lye. The combination of chemicals, pressure, and heat that reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 177 degrees Celsius) quicken the rate of decomposition until all that are left behind are bones, sterile water, and any medical implants. The remaining bones are then crushed into ash and returned to the family."
Would all the chemicals melt the plastic drum? I'd do that bury it lol. Or I could go full Dahmer. Speaking of which, complete change of subject sorry but there's a new Dahmer movie coming out and the actor whoever he is, DAAAAAMN he looks just like him.
