instead of bringing all the precious corpses to graveyards , why nood
using them for producing energy?
So people may sell their corpses and earn money. |

I have heard that mummies were so plentiful in egypt in the 19th
century that they were burned in steam locomotives. Of course, most of
the fuel value was in the the resin impregnated linen wrapping.
Maybe burial is better, just think of all the carbon
//////////////////////
The way to dispose of corpses human and animal are in digesters, these
produce oil, at 12 dollars a barrel and gas 8% and fertilizer 6% all in a
continuous process.
Practically all human waste can be used + tyres - plastics - household
refuse - even your old computers, there are other hidden benefits like all
these products if buried produce green house gases, contaminate the land a
scarce resource in itself.
Basically as I understand the process the waste material is heated to 600 c
under pressure and chopped down into smaller particles, whereas in the past
water was the enemy of this process in the new method it is used to
advantage. every large town should have one. |

Maybe burial is better, just think of all the carbon sequestered! |

I'm not sure that burning them would be the best use. A far far far
better thing would be to make sure that said people are organ donors.
Mainly due to silly myths and ignorance we have only a tiny fraction of
people participating in organ donation programs in the US. Many
thousands of lives could be saved every year with organ donation. Spare
body parts not easily transplantable can be donated to medical programs
and researchers. They too could do far more valuable things than merely
try to extract some BTUs from your corpse.
On the off-chance that your body did need to be cremated, say because you
died of communicable diseases, I suggest that you be incinerated in a
solar crucible. That would be a nifty and environmentally sound way to
check out.

I hope this is a troll.
However, there is a town is Sweden where a crematorium is used as
auxiliary heat source for the city heating network.
Of course, this energy is mainly from wood (coffins), not from the
bodies themselves.

But then the Swedes are not typically obese. |

Hey, I've had that corpse in the freezer for years. You wanna buy it?
Seriously, there's more energy in poop. Corpses do make good fertilizer,
sell it to hippies.

Every August, France suffers from electricity shortages.
Every August, France enjoys a surplus of human corpses.
Connect the dots.

So what you are saying is that it is all those alarm clocks ringing
that make the sun rise in the morning and boring stupid TV programs
that make it go down? |
