Eight American states have so far passed legislation to permit the use of Resomation on their territories.

According to the site, Resomation is basically decomposition on fast-forward, accomplished with chemicals rather than larvae and bacteria.

Like promession, Resomation is a new, science-infused process designed to emulate cremation without having to fire up the grill.

The unit by Resomation Ltd is billed as a green alternative to cremation and works by dissolving the body in heated alkaline water.
