"Ok, so I'm an engineer and my engineering brain could come up with quite a few solutions that whilst might be good, could quite possibly make some wince. There is a method of shredding the body, then putting the remains into a super-compactor to reduce the size and remove all the liquids. This would make the human body take up about the same space as a couple of CD cases, which could be multi stacked in many ways."
—Here are 20 suggestions for coping with the lack of space in Britain's blighted boneyards.

Every time I see the word "whilst" I feel the reflexive desire to grab for a musket.
This sounds like unnecessary reinventing of the wheel by an engineer. What is wrong with cremation?
Carbon.
Christ, this is a fun day. Why not turn the remains into something valuable like counterfeit mummies?
But Alex (not to mention the nameless -
and so s/he'll remain) engineer: methinks
you haven't kept up with the most recent
developments in the field of alternative
deceased human remains disposal. Since
a while back there is a truly organic, bio-
friendly and burial real-estate saving
method for that called Promession -
and now even with a valid UK (aka Knife-
crime Island) license to operate! Try it
(even just once) - you're bound to like it!
Sounds like the Ferengi practice of vacuum desiccation! The remains are divided up into discs and then sold. You can even sell your remains before you've died.
