waste not ??

I think it's a really good thing to do....... but just not talk about.... like it's a good idea, but a little creepy

Anyone who has been in a council building have realised that they have entered a place that is extremely hot. A person could be in swimwear and still feel hot. If they turned down the heat a bit or channeled that heat into the pool or to council homes then would really save. The ones that came up with such idea were probably sweating in the room they were in.

I totally agree with turning the heat down a LOT in most municiple buildings ... even most shops have the heat WAY too high but I STILL dont understand how anyone can be " hurt and upset " about how the heat generated is used

Before anyone says " wait till it affects you " or similar ... my dad died 11 months ago and was cremated and even my mum agrees that it would be a good idea to use the heat that is going to be generated anyway and at the moment is just poured out into the air

Ok so PLEASE explain to me how it is " creepy " ... it is NOT as if it is going to make ANY difference to the process that already happens when cremation is the chosen way to dospose of a body ....all it changes is the way the energy is used ... it does some good instead of just being thrown away and it is NOT heat that is generated FROM the body it is USED to cremate the body

That's where the creepiness comes in. The fact that a body is involved in the production of the heat. If there was no corpse, there would be no heat.

Not everyone views the death of a loved as something that just happens. For most people it is an extremely emotional episode that requires time to get over. Death and the ceremonies that go along with it are taken quite serious by some.

I agree with ladypeartree; don't have a problem with them using the heat in this way. My beloved late husband was cremated; I would not have minded the heat being 'recycled' in some fashion.

It's just heat.

Two thoughts: First, it's an eco-friendly idea and a good use of energy but they should NOT put up a sign in the pool area saying "Pool Heated Courtesy of The Crematorium". And second, perhaps they could offer a pool discount to the families of the bereaved?

Nah, those signs just dont work lol.

Personally I wouldnt have a problem with it, but I tend to be a bit weird anyway. I have no problem being thrown into a "green cemetery" and being recycled into the earth either. None of that disgusting embalming for me.

[~candice~]

I'm fine with it.

[Isaiah 6:8]

as am I. What may work better and be less controversial is to use the heat to generate electricity to feed back into the crematorium, or any excess back to the grid, that way the energy used simply is recycled.
