    Sounds like it still uses energy to dispose of the body. I appreciate the recommendation. I still expect ocean-dumping to be more energy efficient. Especially if the people depositing my body use a sailboat. I only did a cursory search, so I’m happy to be corrected if I’m getting that wrong.

      It does, but a significantly lower amount than most alternatives (besides burial and similar full body disposals of course).

      But indeed burial at sea is even less impactful!
