Instead of burning your fat ugly sack of meat, stick it in a pressure cooker full of lye! It takes about 6 hours and turns you into an alkaline green-brown liquid with bones so brittle they can be crushed by hand. The liquid can then just be flushed into the sewer system, or you could use it as fertilizer. Uses about a quarter of the energy of a cremation.

It's not legal everywhere, though. There are an increasing number of companies that offer it as an alternative to pet cremation.

Or you're just kindred spirits. You can be scattered over Disney together! Everybody can be scarred for life as two goons worth of giblets are distributed over the park. Days later we'll have articles about all the undocumented workers who died trying to clean you both out of the weirdest places. Those articles will get posted here and it'll be a weird memorial service for both of you. It'll be the gooniest ouroboros in the history of the universe.

Lye is no problem at all, it falls apart to just sodium and water, both are already in the system in copious amounts. Sure, it's also pretty basic but you would need to add hundreds of thousands of gallons to the system to be even able to measure the change in ph, and even then it's probably easily offset by co2 in the air forming carbonic acids when the water is aerated.

Lye is literally drain cleaner, and more of it in the sewer system is actually great because more fats will be turned into soaps and carried along instead of sticking to the sewer walls.

If you keep em in solution and crank up the heat /pressure, yeah, all organic matter will dissolve in lye

If you really want to quickly remove organic matter you should use some piranha solution though. https://youtu.be/r9mbhZ4eGN8

If we’re going for the chemicals of Satan (all hail), may as well go the distance for Chlorine Trifluoride.

Here’s a description by the one of the dangerous chemistry thread’s favorite authors, Derek Lowe (“Sand Won’t Save You This Time”)

https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2008/02/26/sand_wont_save_you_this_time

A safety bulletin for handling the stuff, referencing a 1-ton spill in the 1950’s (from previous article):

John D Clark, writing about the stuff in Ignition!:

quote:

Chlorine trifluoride, ClF3, or “CTF” as the engineers insist on calling it, is a colorless gas, a greenish liquid, or a white solid. … It is also quite probably the most vigorous fluorinating agent in existence—much more vigorous than fluorine itself. … It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that's the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water—with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals—steel, copper, aluminum, etc.—because the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminum keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.

In my experience they're usually angry enough about drain cleaner they run public outreach saying the solution to greasy pipes is not drain cleaner, it's not letting the pipes get greasy in the first place. They can get into acid additions pretty fast because the digesters are a pain and a half if they aren't the right pH going in and they are relatively small batched so it can aggravate any quick deviances because they aren't in the business of storing poo poo water any longer than the retention time needed by the process so it's not just going to pan out by dilution and aeration.

A funeral home disposing of human slurry is probably paying a premium to cover the operations impacts even if it's going in the same sewer pipe.

Graveyards are fine, just need to go multi-purpose with them. Use them as public greenspace. Let people have picnics and play frisbee. Walk dogs.

Fun fact: my parents were married in a graveyard. They didn't know it was part of a graveyard, they thought it was a park. There weren't any bodies buried in that section yet so no grave stones, but it was part of a huge graveyard. They didn't find out until they saw the little human interest story with a picture of them in the paper the next week. (It was the 70s and they were hippies).
