Wash my body with jasmine flowers. Wrap me up in white Egyptian cotton sheets. Dig a big hole and put my remains there. Plant an oak big tree that will last 1000 years. Thank you.
Will do.
& I’ll come along & chop it down & make cricket bats out of it. I’ll shall call them ballsy bunnies bats. BBB
@@jinno11 The absolute state of humanity
You think an oak tree planted today will last 1000 years?
It might have been 1000 years ago. Not today
@@RR-us2kp :( sadly I think you are right.
Why don’t they just put bodies in the ground without a casket? That way our bodies go back to the earth where came from to begin with.
I remember watching a documentary film about a group of people who like to be buried that way but I forgot what they call it.
The bodied are simply wrapped in cloth and put on some wooden board. They will be carried out in the wood, buried in the ground, no headstone, no mark.
@@CL-mp4vn that is how the old people do in my country philipines before...but now some people especially the rich prefer cremation because cemetery is getting crowded...i like the idea of korean people...if you have a piece of land you can barried your dead family member on your land as long as on the top of the hill...they just wrapped with cloth and put some incense then the little dozzer carry it on the hill where they gonna barry the dead...although some people who doesn't have land prefer to cremation they can put the ashes in the public cemetery doom...and it looks cleaner their cemetery because everything under ground only you can see a little hill on the top of the grave...
@@CL-mp4vn it's called natural burial and it is an option if you want it
You mean what muslims do?
I am damn sure we come from womb and not the earth and going there back would be painful...
People concerned about the part where they say that the liquid gets dumped down the drain need to realize that when someone is embalmed most of the bodily fluids get disposed of the same way.
yes this
True..
This y our ocean's look like shyt cause of all the bad practices going on in our cities.
Y add to the problem we are already going through
@@pamelamoran5768 it literally is gonna go to a water treatment plant. That's what happens to all liquid matter when it goes down the drain
I am a mortician and I don’t think people realize, once embalming fluid comes in contact with the proteins in the body, it is converted back into its organic state. The only danger is to the embalmer, in the few seconds the container of fluid is open and before it is mixed with water and introduced into the decedent. The fluids that are extracted from the body are 100% biodegradable. The only problem with embalming and burial, is the issue of space.
@Gabriel TorresFormaldehyde is a naturally occurring substance. It is produced in the human body in small amounts. It is used in countless manufacturing processes and in many products. It is a byproduct of any type of combustion. Many fruits and vegitables contain formaldehyde. It can be found everywhere. It would be detectable in ground water if, the source is near a community of any size. There are thousands of ways for it to get into groundwater.

Great now I’m going to have to add body water to my list of anxieties
I still want to be buried in the ground with a sapling planted over me to start off the haunted forests that will cover the land.
Some variation of this for me as well :P

Here's a better idea...dig a hole in the ground, place the unclothed body in ground with no casket, and bury it. Let nature do her thing. Solved.
And the industry has made it so unnecessarily difficult to do this. Can't even be buried on your own property
@[DB] Yuu Yes and i’d do it again😈😈
@[DB] Yuu yeah, it’s called Mother Nature. And there’s nothing wrong with that

Certain water cremation services actually don't pour the liquid "waste" down the drain. It's collected in drums and can be used as natural fertilizer for plants. So basically, your recycling yourself and helping create new life.
imagine drinking that water after
@@Mack_Dingo omfg loool 😂
That was my question: Where does the water go and is it safe? I also wonder, if someone has things in their system, such as chemo drugs for example. Does that water still contain those sort of things?
@@Mack_Dingo Corpse Jungle Juice
You’re recycling yourself. Not your recycling yourself.
Into the sewer system the disolved sludge will go along with the chemicals used to do so.....Ummm, how is this better than just being buried?
The chemicals involved are kinda like drano. Anyway, something something less space consumed, your nutrients get recovered in a wastewater treatment plant, less material wastage from coffins, etc.
Natural burial has lowest carbon footprint though. It's basically just transport and freezer and biodegradable vessel.
They want to save a space in cemetery and it's less than cremation (I think they say that)
Nope the composition of waste water is not harmful chemicals but a WATER PURIFIER instead.
embalming toxins in the body aint much good for the planet either
And that's how they make Soylent Green.
Clean, fast and doesn't use much water. I want this 🌹
Just literally bury me underground in a cloth and just let me become a skeletonized nothingness.
"We're not asking you to get rid of fire, we're asking that you add water and let us make the decision"
I respect that and hope it passes, if the disposal of the human protein water doesn't pose a threat to the cities drinking water and ecosystem.
Water is and has been continuously recycled on this planet since the beginning of time. Look in your toilet, look at the shower drain, look at the glass you just poured..... its probably all been in the same places......
This sounds more comforting then being stuck in a box underground or being burned.
Exactly what I think! I didn't fancy the idea of being burned, or stuck in an airless (who cares? I"ll be dead!) rotting box. much better to give back my proteins in a useful form for others to use as they see fit. I'd love for my bleached bones to be added to the catacombs in Paris. :)
Its interesting to see how people have no sense of scale. The CO2 that you would save by this method instead of cremation is anywhere between the amount you put into the atmosphere in 1 to 3 days of just living , heating or cooling your house, driving 39 miles every day, etc
Friends going to put you in their bong and pass the homie around lol.
Not funny
@@brendadrumm9708 meh kind of is
You could have one of those companies cremation ash turn the ash into a bong... so you could have your friends smoke through you. It would be a wild conversation starter while high
Yuck. Just throw me in the forrest and let me rot
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ok late. But I'm pretty sure you can do just that if you find a body farm to donate yourself to. Then they can study your rotting body to solve murder cases. Covered that in entomology :)

Basically the same place where everything is flushed down the toilet
The remains are extremely nutrient dense and can be used for plant fertilizer!
olivia rose 🤢🤮
Literally Soylent green Jesus Christ...
I mean technically the idea doesn’t sound terrible but if we using alkaline water and we already have a water shortage kind of seems contradictory
The Earth is covered in water. There's no water shortage, there's just a salt problem. ;)
While not useful for modern society, I have always admired the well-dressed body on an elevated platform practice used by some American Indians.
My brother passed away last month and this was the method of cremation that was used.
Where does this liquid human waste that drains off go to, how are the bones dispensed with? A lot of questions, very little answers.
Was so happy to find this method available in South Africa. My mom is being aquamated on Monday morning. RIP, Mommy.
I didn't know this exist after I saw arch bishop Tutu s funeral
🙏🏿
Hi there. Pls can you share which funeral home assisted with this?
@@angelamcpherson6249 avbob does it now.
❤
Giant pressure cooker
Interesting. I hate the thought of the water used afterwards thats drained is our drinking water but I guess embalming does the same with its' fluids.
You drink the same water that thousands of people have pooped in for hundreds of years also!
Oh yeah good Idea! How much money do you need to pay to get rid of your remains? Another cash cow and Government wants it's hand in it. MOOO!
I WONDERED if anyone would say 'follow the money?!"
bruh the funeral industry in general is way more of a cash cow than this. Your friendly local funeral home relies on people wanting "traditional" burials because they can upsell you on caskets and embalming. Maybe YOU should follow the money.
Is the water drinkable ?
Yeah you will drink it like it or not!
Into the sewer system the disolved sludge will go along with the chemicals used to do so.....Ummm, how is this better than just being buried?
You could put it in a bong and pass the homie around
@@warholbanana6317 The chemicals here are much less harmful and can be leaked into the environment without issue. However, embalming fluids like formaldehyde are extremely toxic for the environment and put into the ground without much thought.
Water down the drain...Into your faucet and shower....No thanks..
How safe is the wastewater and its nutrients
I'm starting a new business. Earthmation.
I want my ashes to be smoked in a blunt by my closest homies like Tupac
Why the hell would this need approval? See this is what happens when the government over regulates.
Bodies can be placed in a compost mound for several months, then the bones can be prepared as above.
Cool!
Ewww, so it’s basically like boiling a chicken till the meat falls off the bones........and then there’s still the bones left to dispose of. Doesn’t sound better than cremation, sorry.
@krepnata kadara We don't really have that data yet. Even if we had it, it would be hard to tell. Because one big factor is the building of new facilities/tear down of the old ones.
A bit like repairing your old car is better than buying a new electric car.
honestly this sounds less gross than being embalmed and buried just for the maggots to chew you up anyway
"The leftovers go down the drain".......
it doesn't matter that the soft tissue part of the body is reduced to chemicals, that it's put back into the water system and ends up as drinking water is a tough sell to the average person who votes for a career politician sitting in the legislature of a state that has to approve this process.
remember, it's not the facts people are interested in, it's how they *feel* about it -- perception is everything.
Yes I would like this..

That's pretty metal. That's how I'd want to go.
Then someone will come out with a new water called body water and sell it for 20$
Sheldon Allison lmao 😂 dude hilarious. They will come up with all types of ideas to squeeze money out of people. We all have gone too far.
If this breakd the body down into its natural chemical components ie carbon ,nitrogen etc ..couldn't the remaining liquid be used on the land as a liquid manure?? If people were uhappy ( understandably so ) about it being used on arable land to grow crops ,then couldn't the remaining nutrients from the process be used to enrich the soils in forestry ?? Seems like a great idea to me 👍
THIS!
Why not straight up make protein bars out of people and refeed us? (obviously not)
In CO that's exactly what they do with it, but it legally can't be sold nor can it be used to grow crops for human consumption. But help revitalize wilderness lands or help grow flowers? Absolutely.
The machine runs on electricity. Depending on where you are from a coal fired power plant.
It still runs on way less than a typical cremation. It is much less wasteful.
They do this in a little town in Ga that I work in.
Don’t jump to conclusion , first people need to make sure the patient is 1000% dead
Is this done here in the STATES
Can you make the body dissolve in water
yes
Human bodies treated like waste. What a shame.
Well... we do burn and bury waste too.
Jonathan Fortin yeah but you would treat your love one’s bodies like waste?
It isn't waste. It's a way of giving your loved ones a chance to foster new life. We all decompose. It's just a matter of time. Pumping your corpse full of chemicals isn't going to stop that.
olivia rose either way plants will grow. We need to be able to go back to remember our love ones. We have to bury them in a dignified way not like fertilizers.
If it is so simple why is it so much money
Fantastic 👏
That will turn fresh water to salt water eventually im 100% correct on that
Just do what Walter White Did
Ok put in acid
This is very interesting

How much is this process let this be more of a option
I learned about this process through Caitlyn Doughty a youtuber , I think its eco friendly
for the love of god just put the body back in the ground without a casket so we go back to what we are made from , mother earth amen .
She doesn't want fossil fuel to be a prat of her journey yet this method still uses fossil fuel to heat the solution.
Correct, she's just mad!!
Nick Nelson
Yes, and if flushed in sea the fish will eat and we eat fish 🤢🤮
But far less. Says in the video it is one seventh of the energy used in a flame cremation
Fossil fuel are not used to heat the water. They use natural gas! Please take the proper time to research more about water acclamation before saying false facts.
@@oconnorkieran5837 I don't eat any kind of seafood so I'm good lol
But what about pouring those chemicals back into the water? Isn't that polluting the water?
Most of those chemicals are leftover nutrients from the body. There are some risks as with everything, but it's actually a lot safer than a lot of other options!
It's not just gentle water, do your research
There is always burial at sea.
RIP passengers of ill-fated Oceangate Expedition JUNE 19th 2023
I'll just stick to traditional cremations, thank you.
sigh, the amount of energy needed to complete this process produces more carbon dioxide than cremation.
no, it doesn't. could be done with clean energy as well, even less impact.
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
Mayhaps, but this method doesn't release formaldehyde or mercury into the atmosphere. The remains are also extremely nutrient dense and can be used for plant fertilizer, thus helping dispose of excess carbon dioxide!
@@OliviaCip Isn't it a least bit morally wrong that we would directly fertilize our own food with human remains which are not even properly decomposed into minerals?
As a person who does this for a living I don't see a feature in it. If there are any funeral directors reading this. Think of sit down with a Indian family and tell them exactly what the crematorium process Is all about. The flame cremation will always dominate the industry of cremation.. And I'm sick and tired of hearing about how environmentally friendly these pieces of equipment are The flame cremation will always dominate the industry of cremation.. And I'm sick and tired of hearing about how environmentally friendly these pieces of equipment are All that sludge goes into the water system
Beautiful.
How much is this process.?
Do not approve
0:00. Do you mean to tell me there is a "growing graveyard real estate crunch" in British Columbia? For Christ sake, the province is huge. Somebody open a cemetery.
the last thing the planet needs is more cemeteries
@@oblongfan1 Cemeteries are good for urban areas in the way parks are. Grass, trees, wildlife. The plants give off much needed oxygen.
Buy the family package and dissolve together!
🤣🤣🤣
And the human sledge is being used on crops. Also CO2 is plant food.
They should make a water scrubber at conventional crematoriums to capture the smoke, then the ashes and Portland cement is added and grandmother is caddy into a flower pot, or a one to two gallon concert block is taken to a highrise moseluem, instead of being transported, or dissolved and dumped down the drain
Where does the water goes after
My first husband was a sailor. We chose aquamation for his remains. I hope this catches on. I plan on being returned to the ocean I love so much.
Humm!! Something to consider
What's the co2 output for this, energy costs ect ect ??
I want to be buried in a seed pod and become a tree
Thats so thoughtful..
Its giving back to nature all that we took in our lifetime.
Does it drain into the drinking water ?
high temperature? oh you mean boiling
And where can I acquire one of these fine contraptions? I need it for- reasons.
So most of your body is flush down into sewage?
It can be, if you decide to go that route. Or it could be the basis of new and healthy plant life!
And be flushed down the drain!
This is what I won't so much better then being buried or burnt in my opinion it's legal in the UK but there's no facilities yet doing it hopefully by the time I go there will be
this is my first choice. if not fire cremation second. no traditional burial for me!
Our pet will be Aquamated this April 14
But what’s not good is that water and chemicals are going to get into the water system!
AWESOME!!💜🌹 Thank you!!
