Kansas considers ‘greener’ new way to bury its dead

[Kyle]

Promessa, a Swedish company that wants to revolutionize how to reduce the ecological footprint in traditional burials, is focusing on Kansas to introduce its product in the U.S. because the state has what some consider relatively lax cremation laws, a report said.

The procedure, according to the Kansas City Star, is called promession. In standard cremation the body is broken down by fire. Promession consists of the freezing the body with liquid nitrogen and then "vibrating it into particles," the report said.

"You are still in an organic form, which means you are not broken down, you are still food for the soil and if you spread it around you will be food for birds, or fish, or whatever," she told Wired in 2013.

I was thinking the same thing.. Just run it through a mulcher.
Or why not just leave the body on the side of the road for the Buzzards.

maybe the cryogenic method produces finer particle, easier to work into the soil.
