Shamelessly crossposted.
I've done a bit of reading on promession over the last few years but have seen nothing of late. It last appeared that the English lot had a falling out with the Swedish lot. The iidea is of interest but seems to have become bogged down in bureaucracy.
Any ideas please. I have a good reason for asking. Perhaps more than one.
Many thanks.
Here, hold this rapier missile for a moment I'll have to look that one up...

Was mentioned within the past few days somewhere - probably BBC news or Guardian - but could have been elsewhere.
I'm slightly interested in promession too, I nearly specified it for my own SDC arrangements when I made my will some years ago. I relented when I found that there were no promatoria in the UK, nor indeed anywhere (including Sweden, where the idea was first thought of).
I felt it would be laying an extra burden on my executors to make them hunt around for somewhere suitable to dispose of the old wader's earthly remains. Besides, I'm really not too bothered what happens to my husk once I'm done with it, the bonfire will do nicely, ta.
I would have thought the process is less environmentally friendly (at least where gas emissions are concerned) than traditional deep burial and cremation.
The first step is to freeze the body in liquid nitrogen. As far as I remember liquid nitrogen is prepared in a process that is reasonably energy intensive.
If the aim is to be composted, you can achieve this more easily by having yourself put through a meat grinder, and mixed with plant material. Not too sure what the executors and family would think.

Spray the body over a field using a wood chipper, turn over the soil and leave it fallow for a year.

Prolly wouldn't give a s*it as long as the will was valid.
Look after your kids, they choose your nursing home.

Sn!pe ? Got to be a glass case, surely ?
I've an Organ Donor's card and my body is for medical research - I want others to suffer after my death.
I keep getting tempted to specify an open casket funeral with somebody tasked to rig the body with servos so that at an (in)appropriate moment I sit up and wave goodbye. The only trouble is I'd like to watch the fun too.
I should bloomin' well think so too, I wouldn't want to get dusty. Just stick me and my case at the end of the bar and label me "oldest inhabitant". If you fit clockwork and a coin mechanism my poor, cold, stiff body might be pressed into service to do a few catch-penny tricks.

I'm sure these people would oblige:
Heh.
You could dispense shrimps ?
