so it seems the current method involves a nitrogen freezing process  
and then composting the resulting powder.  the bbc article has  
discussion regarding chopping the body into bits and then composting  
rather than using nitrogen.  i have one last concern about heavy metals.

the mercury in ones fillings can be sifter out with the nitrogen  
process but how about those metals that are part of our bodily  
structure.  would the metals begin to build up in our soils?

thank you all for your links. this was a wonderful learning lesson
