Belgian undertakers plan to dissolve dead and flush them into sewage system, Jul 08, 2010
Allan Hall, in Berlin 12:31PM BST 07 Jul 2010
The controversial new method is said to be less expensive and more environmentally friendly than running highly polluting crematoria or using up valuable land for graves.
The departed would go into the sewage systems of towns and cities and then be recycled in water processing plants.
The proposals are being studied by the EU and if approved, it would mean the procedure could be used across Europe.
However, opponents of the plans say it smacks of a Frankenstein callousness towards the dead and one survey in Belgium found many people found the idea "disturbing."
"The idea is for the deceased to be placed in a container with water and salts and then pressurised and after a little time, about two hours, mineral ash and liquid is left over," said a spokesman for the Flemish Association of Undertakers.

Brazil! Brazil! at Udderbelly - West End - Time Out London
By Brian Logan
'It's often said that the English invented football,' says the narrator of 'Brazil! Brazil!', 'but the Brazilians perfected it.' The same phrase appears on the Brazil tourist board's website - and I suspect it's not the only overlap. This celebration of all things Brazilian (whose cast is drawn from the country's most deprived ghettos and favelas) is like one of those shows you might be bussed to
