If the prevailing ailing environment pricks your conscience looking back to the injuries you have brought to it, and still have all heart to reduce your carbon footprint, you can kick off with a ‘green initiative’ any moment – ah! that even after your death!
Thanks to a crematorium in Bath. The crematorium, concerned over damaging the environment by emissions and wasting fuel, fires up its brand new burners only when there are enough bodies to justify the operation.
Though the move to store bodies overnight at Haycombe crematorium may upset mourners, it can literally help a dead play its role in the war to save the planet from its ecological disaster.
The Bath and North East Somerset council’s bereavement manager believes that the policy would increase the modern burners’ life.

Somerset council’s bereavement manager said, In order to do this we will fire up only one cremator if there are insufficient cremations to warrant both being used. We will store coffins overnight to achieve a balanced workload and gain the greatest efficiency from our cremators.
But, dealing with sensitive issues like needing to preserve bodies, an effective and efficient balance between minimizing gas usage as an environmental issue on one hand and managing the workload on the other brings in challenge.
