I think this is disgusting

A body is placed in a pressurized drum that holds up to 400 gallons of water. A chemical is added and heated to 350 degrees, then the mixture is circulated through the drum. The body’s soft tissue is dissolved into a liquid, which is washed into the municipal wastewater system.

Just as in a typical cremation, bones are ground into a powder for funeral urns.
Imagine, human bodies being dissolved with a harsh chemical and all of it going into the water supply. What's so "green" about that?
