Belgians are awaiting a decision from the EU that would be allowed to dissolve corpses in corrosive solution, instead of cremated.

Concerned by two problems: lack of burial places and a large quantity of carbon dioxide are emitted into the atmosphere each kremacija (260 kg), funeral companies in Belgium have submitted a request to introduce resomacijata as an option for dealing with the bodies of corpses.

In this process, the body is placed in a steel high-pressure chamber filled with potassium hydroxide at temperatures of 180 degrees. Highly corrosive compound in synergy with high pressure and temperature to completely dissolve the body, for two to three hours.

This method of "funeral" service is already legal in six U.S. states and is pending approval proceduara and Britain (as it resomacijata is the work of the same company from Glasgow). Resomacija word comes from the Greek word "resoma" which means rebirth of the human body.
