    The process, known as resomation, uses a mix of potassium hydroxide and water to break down human remains in what is billed as a more sustainable option.

    It takes four hours - the bones remain, and are powdered then returned to loved ones in a similar way to ashes, in an urn.

    Neat! Quite literally based.
