7. Resomation.



Resomation is an eco-friendly burial method that decomposes the body using an alkali and water based solution under high pressure.

This breaks down the body to a liquid and bone ash.

The liquid can be recycled into the ecosystem by pouring it into a garden or nature.

The bone ash is collected and placed into an urn.

8. Space Burial.



Space burial refers to the launching of cremated remains into outer space.

Missions may go into orbit around the Earth, to other planetary bodies (suchas the Moon), or into deep space.

The cremated remains are not actually scattered in space, and thus do not contribute to space debris. Instead, the ashes remain sealed inside their spacecraft until the spacecraft either re-enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up upon re-entry (Earth orbit missions); reaches its final, extraterrestrial destination (e.g. the Moon); or escapes the solar system (deep space missions).

This may seem a little out of this world, but famous astronomers and even the creator of Star Trek have selected this form of burial.

10. Plastination.



Plastination is the process of transforming the deceased body into plastic by replacing the water and fat with silicon.

Once evolved into plastic, the body can be displayed as a teaching tool in medical schools or in exhibits.

The water and fat are replaced by certain plastics, yielding specimens that can be touched, do not smell or decay, and even retain most properties of the original sample.

Many people have chosen this.

11. Memorial Diamonds.



Memorial Diamonds are made by pressurizing ashes, cremated remains or hair of the deceased into a diamond.

These gems can be made into jewelry and serve as a keepsake of a loved one that can always be with you forever.

Typically, these are diamonds created in a laboratory, and often referred to as synthetic diamonds, cultured diamonds, or laboratory grown diamonds.

12. Hanging Coffins.




Hanging coffins on the side of a cliff is another fascinating burial in the ancient world.

Hanging coffins are coffins which have been placed on cliffs.

They can be found in various locations, including China, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Hanging coffins are an ancient funeral custom of some ethnic groups, especially the Bo people of southern China.

Coffins of various shapes were mostly carved from one whole piece of wood.

Hanging coffins either lie on beams projecting outward from vertical faces such as mountains, placed in caves in the face of cliffs, or sit on natural rock projections on mountain faces.

It was said that the hanging coffins could prevent bodies from being taken by beasts and also bless the soul eternally.

How the ancient people were able to situate these coffins along the steep cliff walls continues to be a mystery that puzzles our modern-day world.

Forget all the grammar. What they're saying is they turn the corpses to manure.

Cryonics is a nice preservation method but I heard it's quite expensive and someone has to pay for it. Most people opting for it usually donate their entire wealth to the company in exchange for preservation.
