What are the new disposition technologies Promession and Resomation?
Promession is a Swedish technology that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze bodies before they are shattered, dried and buried (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promession). Resomation uses hot water, potassium hydroxide and pressure to dissolve into chemical components and ash (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resomation). The Natural Burial Association believes that while these technologies may have their merits, a natural burial has the strongest environmental benefits.
