DEAD bodies could be left to decompose in water that boils your remains at 300 degrees in a new eco-friendly 'burial' option.
Folks who are tired of the traditional burial or cremation can look towards another method called aquamation.

Aquamation uses alkaline hydrolysis to dispose of human or animal remains instead of fire.
The process is also known as biocremation, resomation, flameless cremation, and water cremation, Interesting Engineering reports.
The method is praised as an eco-friendly alternative to cremation, which uses a heated alkaline solution to break down the body, leaving behind only the skeleton.
The process of aquamation starts with the body being placed inside a pressurized vessel filled with a mixture of water and potassium hydroxide heated to around 200-300 degrees Fahrenheit.
As the pressure in the container increases, the solution gently breaks organic matter over several hours.
The process liquifies everything except for the bones, which are then dried in an oven and reduced to white dust, placed in an urn, and then given to relatives.
Aquamation also leaves behind 32 percent more remains body compared to cremation.
According to Bio-Response Solutions, aquamation uses 90 percent less energy than flame cremation, does not emit any harmful greenhouse gases, contains no burning of fossil fuels and provides 20 percent more ash remains to the families.
The liquid left behind after the process is asterile mix of organic compounds,including salts and amino acids, that can be used as a fertilizer or neutralized and safely released into waterways.

Eternal Reefs
An Eternal Reefs option creates artificial reef material from a mixture of concrete and human cremains (the crushed bone leftover from cremations).
These heavy concrete orbs are then placed in areas where reefs need restoration, attracting fish and other organisms that turn the remains into an undersea habitat.
Cryonics
Cryonics is the process of freezing a person's body, hoping that later medical science will make itpossible to revive them.
Chemicals are used in an attempt to prevent damage to cells from freezing.
Prices vary depending on the procedure and can go as high as $200,000 for whole-body preservation.
Mummification
A religious organization called Summum offers mummification services to both people and pets.
Plastination
Plastination involves preserving the body in a semi-recognizable form for medical school and anatomy lab educational purposes.
Promession
Promession, or freeze-drying, involves immersing the corpse inliquid nitrogen, making it very brittle.
Vibrations shake the body apart and the water is evaporated away in a special vacuum chamber.
Then, a separator filters out any mercury fillings or surgical implants, and the powdered remains are laid to rest in a shallow grave.
Oxygen and water are mixed with the powdered remains, turning them into compost.
