  1. We have a better method that referenced in this article. Our system uses a lower temperature, less water, and no pressure. We call our process CycledBurial(TM) as the soft parts of the deceased are returned to the earth.

    Our CycledBurial(TM) systems allow the deceased to be safely interred in the earth. It eliminates the public health risks experienced from burying unsterile human remains in the ground. Coffins, vaults, and cemetery plots are not necessary for those who opt for this new method of burial. This burial method costs about the same as a cremation, without causing harm to the environment or to the living.

    Burials have led to pandemics that have killed more people than have lost their lives in battle. The deceased eventually become liquid and pollute aquifers. Burying unsterile bodies places the living at risk. Protecting the living from the departed is a battle worth fighting.


    Visit for more details on this new burial option.

    • The claim that corpses pose significant health risks, even after disasters is a persistent myth that time and again has been dispelled by organisations such as the World Health Organization. Microorganisms involved in the decay process (putrefaction) are not pathogenic.

      Wikipedia has a good overview article on the Health risks from dead bodies, which quotes the WHO and other reliable sources.
