I can't image the energy needed to boil a body in an alkaline solution until you dissolve and pulverize the bones is any "greener" that cremation. I have not read any studies or done any research but with a human soup of alkali and crushed bones still has to be disposed of. Does it go to the sewer system and is that hard on a system designed for sewage? I bet it would clog up your septic tank.

I would be fine with take my body to the woods, and plant a tree on top of me to feed the tree. That is green recycling. The funeral homes will be fighting it tooth and nail. They want to sell a coffin that costs more than a lot of cars, and then charge thousands more to have a cemetery spot.
