This process makes the recovery of dental amagam as well as gold, and any implanted medical devices trivial.
One downside to cremation since modern medicine has been the metals emissions from the smoke.
Also, can we please call this whipped cremation? Because my gosh it’s nasty work and I need a laugh.

We get an option for cremation that leaves the bones intact and awesome and then you crush them? Give me my bag of relative bones and let me do my Shakespeare!

If you aren’t in a hurry you can just use flesh-eating beetles like the ones museums use to clean skeletal specimens.

That is not unlike the results that Zoroastrians get with the “Towers of Silence”. Let the bodies decay under the hot sun until only bones are left. Presumably let the buzzards and vultures have their way.

Because at some point elected officials decided it was their right to decide how you can instruct your survivors to dispose of your corpse and no one did much to stop them.
Is that by any chance a reference to Use of Weapons by Iain M. Banks? Gawd what a great book!
