Queen Elizabeth II, of happy memory, had a dignified funeral. At its conclusion, the late monarch’s remains were sent to their place of burial – as Christians have been for time out of mind – “in sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life, when Christ shall be all in all”. The practice of resomation thankfully does not seem to have been considered.
Resomation, as Wikipedia clinically explains, is the process by which the deceased “is placed in a pressure vessel that is then filled with a mixture of water and potassium hydroxide, and heated to a temperature around 160°C (320°F)… the body is effectively broken down into its chemical components, which takes approximately four to six hours”.
