The family of the departed is charged a relatively small fee for liquifying the corpse into the public sewers, then the public pays for the high energy expensive business of reconstituting the corpse solids into sewage sludge 'biosolids'...that must then be digested, dewatered, and sent to farm fields, incinerators, or land fills.....this part can cost the taxpayers plenty. Nothing 'green' about it. The cost of the ‘burial’ is transfered to the public taxpayer.
