Re: bodies to keep church warm

Is it not just another form of recycling?
Personally, I wouldn't care if the church (or for that matter the whole neighbourhood) was kept warm as a result of one of my loved ones cremation.

Yuk .. all very macabre to me.

Can imagine the vicar announcing .. "Today's heating during our service has been sponsored by Katex's late Aunt Nellie, let us give thanks" .... No, thank you.

Re: bodies to keep church warm

think its a good idea, dead is dead end of. the heat at the moment is going to atmoshere, it may as well be re-cycled and put to good use, also better for the "carbon footprint" (not that i'm bothered much about that) :)

Re: bodies to keep church warm

Sounds like a sensible idea to me. Why waste the heat if it can be reused.

Re: bodies to keep church warm

I didn't see the story but if I've understood this properly are they talking about cremations? If so then surely heat is produced and wasted so if it can be channelled into heating then surely that's not a bad thing. Better to heat the crem than heat the atmosphere.

Have to completely agree with cashman, Neil and Willow...if it can be done, use it!

Seems like a good idea to me...I have no issues with it.

Re: bodies to keep church warm

it was actually the crematorium at Dukinfield, thats gonna use this idea, after consultation with the public (if i understood correctly) if its a goer,others are expected to follow suit.

Sounds like a very sensible piece of lateral thinking.

Re: bodies to keep church warm

will the very expensive prices come down for cromation or will they put them up to pay for the technoligey

Re: bodies to keep church warm

crematoriums have to have special filters fitted by 2010, cos at the moment mercury is going to atmosphere (from fillings) so your guess is as good as mine regarding costs.:D

The heat will come from cremating bodies so it would be the crematorium that gets heated, not the church.

You can't use heat from dead bodies to heat a church. :confused:

Re: bodies to keep church warm

There are churches (well chapels if you like) attached to the crem though where the services take place so I suppose they mean those but I'm not sure how this will work because the cremation takes place after the service so the place will be warmed up after everyone has left.

Yes, I think they are referring to the chapel part of the crem.

The chapel will be warm all day if they have a lot of funerals that day as the cremators will be on a lot.

Would it not make more sense to remove the teeth before cremation? :confused:

Probably....but families would not like the idea of the funeral director pulling their relative's teeth out with pliers prior to closing the coffin.

Re: bodies to keep church warm

If the idea is taken up, then at least some folk can say “the git was of some use after all” :D
