Drum roll, please... it is aqua cremation!  It happens in a machine that looks like this:

Somewhat more expensive than cremation currently, due to low numbers of machines, but over time, increased demand should resolve that.

It uses water (quite a bit) and some chemicals to hasten the decomposition process.  The chemicals aren't the best, nor the 300 gallons of water required.  But it is supposed to be more energy-efficient than a standard cremation.  And, at the end of the day, the bonus is getting to turn into fertilizer for plants - yay!!  (Just get over the ick factor - dead is dead.)

Definitely up for consideration.
