Darn! I missed the gas & water collection part!
I think the best method for a body is probably that exothermic hydrothermal method of carbonization we discussed over here: >>
Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC)
It sounds like it would preserve the body form, as I recall reading in there that pine-cones carbonized by this method emerged structurally intact. We can kill 2 birds with one stone and get practicality, decoration,
and charcoal sequestration in the soil, if we use the charcoaled limbs as row-marker stakes. How humerus is that?
Let's not stop here, lets cook up the dead pets too, and those cows that Boerseun keeps seeing.
