10 Things Your Body Can Do After You Die
one of them:

Cremating a body uses up a lot of energy -- and a lot of nonrenewable resources. So how do you give Grandma the send-off she wanted and protect the planet at the same time? Multitask.
Some European crematoriums have figured out a way to replace conventional boilers by harnessing the heat produced in their fires, which can reach temperatures in excess of 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit. In fact, starting in 1997, the Swedish city of Helsingborg used local crematoriums to supply 10 percent of the heat for its homes.
well i hate all the stupid nonsense western death rithual... I think it is as worse as.. well most of the things people here consider outrageous... I consider myself a dissident (like a Saudi Arabian woman willing to drive).. i wnat NOT TO HAVE TO GIVE the body of my family to anyone.. but giving it to the worst rithual ever is an oppression..
Each time a fmily member dies I feel an oprression and awful, very much like an oppressed slave who is forced to do wha other people do without way out.. because I MUST do it forcefully.
Sorry I hate this culture on that.
A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude

in excess of 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit
though. How many degrees in excess of? Any advance on 1833F? 1834F? 100,000,000K and a solar system full of gamma rays?
