5. Cryonics.




Cryonics is used when an individual may not be necessarily dead such as people who are diagnosed brain dead.

The body can then undergo cryopreservation, in which the body is frozen.

This preservation technique is used with hopes that the body can be revived at later time in decades or centuries when improved technology can recover the individual.

How about 'Sky Burial' practiced amongst the Tibetans living in very high altitude? Because the topography is very rocky, and can't be dug to make graves, what the people there do when someone dies is carry the corpse up a sacred mountain where it's cut into bits for the bald headed vultures to feast on.

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.

6. Funeral Cannibalism.



Cannibalism or the consumption of a dead body, in most cultures is frowned upon and only considered an option in extreme conditions.

However, some cultures believe that cannibalism is a way for a deceased individual’s abilities can be given to the living.

13. Burial at seais the disposal of human remains in the ocean, normally from a ship or boat.

It is regularly performed by navies, and is done by private citizens in many countries.

Burial-at-sea services are available at many different locations and with many different customs, either by ship or by aircraft.

Usually, either the captain(or commanding officer) of the ship or aircraft or a religious representative (of the decedent's religion or the state religion) performs the ceremony.

14. Promession.



Promession is also an environmentally friendly way to dispose of human remains by way of freeze drying or turning it to fertilizer.

Promession involves five steps:

1.Coffin separation: The body is placed into the chamber.

2. Cryogenic freezing: Liquid nitrogen at -196°C crystallizes the body.

3. Vibration: The body is disintegrated into particles within minutes.

4. Freeze drying: Particles are freeze dried in a drying chamber, leaving approximately 30% of the original weight.

5. Metal separation: Any metals (e.g. tooth amalgam, artificial hips, etc.) are removed, either by magnetism or by sieving.

The dry powder is placed in a biodegradable casket which is interred in the top layers of soil, where aerobic bacteria decompose the remains into humus in as little as 6–12 months.

Cryonics is one technology that looks promising. But a funny twist about it is that if one's brain and life could be preserved for such a long time, why haven't we seen a real life scenario of the technology? I've been seeing it in movies and reading about it from novels since I was a kid.

That tree burial though! Like the coffin is not exposed to natural elements and after much exposure, the coffin will still be damaged and birds will have a field day on the corpse anyway.

Not so sure because the coffins are not made of just woods.

Some hanging coffins in china mountain have been for centuries and still intact.
