But how do you know she's dead? And no - not taxidermy. That's the 'preserve' of Ancient Egyptians...
One is burial at sea (or also casting a boat adrift). The other is sending people to Luton - what happens there is that the living body becomes progressively more zombie like every day until it eventually petrifies - like the Ian Dury song 'Is there life in Peckham ?`.
That's the thing, the quality of her animatronics is so good - clicking away at her knitting needles she is. As long she's plugged in. We did have to replace her legs with aluminium ones because the cats had been using them a scratching posts, which wasn't pretty.
Almost, but a bit more... And the other method is almost the opposite - in that it involves heat, along with water and lye.
That's one of them - also known as resomation or alkaline hydrolysis. The body is placed in a container which is then filled with a mixture of water & lye then heated under pressure. After three hours, the 'end product' is a liquid that gets poured away or can be used in gardens if you're so inclined - and a sort of ash, which is the remnants of the bones, the bit that goes to the family. That's one - what's the other?
Well it's not illegal in the UK, but it's certainly a touchy subject. Neither is it a way of disposing of a dead body...
Cryogenics? Is that the word for freezing dead bodies until a cure is found for whatever they died from then resurrecting them. I'm not sure if forgetting to close the fridge door can be considered murder if the person is already dead.
theo put that one forward - and the answer was no, it's a bit more than that, ie disposal of the bodies...
