of age (and very fit!) but it would be good to know that this
technology could be available when we need it..."

"I read with interest the article
about freeze-drying funerals, entitled 'Shaking the Dead' in the
Daily Mail, dated Thursday 13th October, 2005. When I showed
it to my 80 year old mother, (a Crewe resident) she was
particularly interested in it for herself too. Although mum is
quite healthy, it is nice to be able to have everything understood
beforehand..."
J Burgess, Hyde |
"I read a very interesting article on
your research into the freeze dry method of dealing with the
deceased. I would like very much to know more about this
procedure..."

"From what I have read and heard
about promession it certainly sounds a better alternative to
cremation from an environmental point of view. Also with
traditional burial there are land and space issues involved, and
Promession has the advantage of leaving a residue full of nutrients
for the soil. There is no problem from an environmental point
of view using liquid nitrogen as at room temperature it becomes gas
again. Nitrogen makes up 80% of the Earth's
atmosphere. Promession is something I would consider for
myself and I definitely think it is worth pursuing."

It would take less ground for one
thing and is clean, it would be a good thing in the long run.

My husband and I both think this is
an excellent environmental alternative to cremation. We hope
this will become a reality.
Reader - Crewe Chronicle |
Excellent idea. Environmentally
friendly. I would certainly go for it, in preference to
cremation.
C R Jones, Nantwich |
We are very interested in Promession
and hope this Borough brings it to fruition. It is good for the
environment.

This is a very sound way forward if we
go ahead others will follow.

I believe Promession is very
important in helping the environment. Burials and cremations
are taking too much room and causing too much pollution. Promession
is a great idea and has to be the way forward!!
Reader - Crewe Chronicle |
I think it's a wonderful idea. A
great alternative to the amount of land needed for burial and I
would choose it over cremation. Would like to put my name down
now!

I like the idea of being frozen
rather than burned. Also good for the environment less
pollution.

People should be encouraged to donate
their bodies to teaching hospitals (Keele) for students to practice
on. Also organ, eye, skin donations, then you can process
what's left, in the most environmentally friendly way.

I have requested cremation in my will
but was unaware of the mercury issue. It would be the cost of
Promession that would concern me, but I think it is a good
idea.
Reader - Crewe Chronicle |
We have to move forward with the
times. I think it is an excellent idea and I have been a Christian
churchgoer all my life now aged 60. Well done for
initiative!
Reader - Crewe Chronicle |
I think it is an excellent
idea. I've been telling my family and friends about
it and they echo my view. Please continue to pursue the
idea and give us feedback.

May I congratulate you on the forward
thinking approach your council is taking. I'm sure there are some
who feel that the whole concept is slightly unsavoury but from what
I have read, there seems to be much to commend it.

The general consensus was in favour for the the new freezing
process instead of the usual burial or cremation.

Briliant idea. Better than cremation.
