DISPENSARY CORNER 22 June 16
June 22, 2016
Biodegradable coffins are
one thing, but dissolving the dead
and pouring them into the town
sewers is quite another.
This unconventional method is
being used as an environmentally
friendly option for disposing of
the dead by Canadian funeral firm
Aquagreen Dispositions.
Apparently local officials are
keeping a close eye on the
company which is using an
alkaline solution to dissolve
bodies in a heated and
pressurised container.
The skeleton is ground into a
powder and given to loved ones
while the left over liquid is filtered
and sent to the town’s sewage
treatment system.
“You come in by water, and you
leave by water,’ says business
owner Dale Hilton.
“It’s green, all the way around”.
He reckons it’s the way of the
future - dust to dust.
IF THERE’S one place what you
wear makes an impression, it
would have to be in court.
If you’re appearing to plead your
innocence on cannabis possession
charges it’s probably best not
to wear a shirt sporting a pro-marijuana
motif.
But that’s exactly the move a
25-year-old man in Malta pulled
this week.
His defence that the drugs and
stolen phone hidden under a car
weren’t actually his own, didn’t
support his case either.
He was denied bail because he
has no fixed address.
