Sweden's new funeral rite - bodies freeze-dried, powdered and made into tree mulch

A town in Sweden plans to become the first place in the world where corpses will be disposed of by freeze-drying, as an environmentally friendly alternative to cremation or burial.


And they do this by dunking you in liquid nitrogen, thereby turning you into glass, and then smashing you into powder. Actually, if you're not into immortality, this isn't a bad way to go.

Hey, I kinda like the glacier idea. You do realize, of course, that with runaway global warming there's a good chance of your being "exhumed" rather early in the game... ;-)
