Cryonics

Cryonics is to do with freezing people so they may be brought back to life in the future. The future is hoped to be an amazing utopian futuristic existence where the sorts of things people died of these days can easily be cured. And, of course, the technology is assumed to be good enough to bring back to life people who have been frozen solid in liquid nitrogen for centuries! The idea is in principle not new, and has some similarities in principle to the Ancient Egyptian idea of storing a body by mummification in the hopes that the person will go on to an afterlife.

Promession

Promession a new alternative to a burial or cremation.

Green campaigners particularly welcome this type of burial as it eases the harmful emissions that can be excreted by cremations and over crowding in some graveyards.

Friends and family have the opportunity to plant a tree above the grave as a long-term memorial for the person who died, and to incorporate a new life. In approximately 6 - 12 months the body will have de-composed and formed part of the natural environment.

This type of burial is not used in the UK as yet, however, local authorities have shown vast interest with Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council and Preston City Council seriously considering this type of burial in the future.

Promession is an ecological burial, which is a new alternative to traditional burial or cremation. The process involves the body being frozen in liquid nitrogen, which is then turned into powder through the use of ultrasonic vibrations. The body is buried in a biodegradable box in a shallow grave to allow for a quicker decomposition than traditional burials.
