Smiths Falls, Ont., funeral business dissolves the dead, pours them into town sewers

 

'You come in by water, and you leave by water,' says business owner

 

Waterworks officials in a small town southwest of Ottawa are monitoring a funeral company that has become the first in Ontario to use an alkaline solution to dissolve human remains, and then drain the leftover coffee-coloured effluents into the sewer system.

 

Aquagreen Dispositions began operating in a rental unit within the former Rideau Regional Centre in Smiths Falls in May 2015 after receiving a licence from the Ontario government. Hilton's Unforgettable Tails, a parallel business handling the remains of pets, had been using the same process for a couple of years prior to Aquagreen Dispositions, but it took longer to get a licence to handle human remains.

 

The owner, Dale Hilton, who is from a family of funeral home operators in Smiths Falls, said he watched as the "green wave" swept through the funeral industry, bringing biodegradable caskets and urns.

 

Hilton said he started the alkaline hydrolysis business in the newly named Galipeau Centre as an alternative to the traditional, energy-using flame-based cremation process.

 

"It brings your body back to its natural state," Hilton said. "It's the same way as being buried in the ground, but instead of taking 15, 20 years to disintegrate, it does it in a quicker process. And it's all environmentally friendly."

Sounds gross..  Go to Ralphs, by some Folger's coffee, use the tin and spread me someplace.

so drinking tap water made from filtering HUMAN FECES is ok?  

and this completely dissolved and broken down organic matter is somehow worse?

 

compared to the stuff that normally goes in the sewers, this one IS relatively harmless

unfortunately i kinda get it, mainly because i already read some others distopian materials and i unable to unlearned it ...

that theme actually used a lot in fictional reading but it could became non-fiction, only morals/ethics that would slowed the eventual descend if mankind continue as it is.

Sounds like a good plan to me, just wet cremation. Maybe look in to if it'd make a good fertiliser or not.

At least pour them on the corn fields.
