Abstract
Apparatus and a method for decomposing a body of a deceased person, as an alternative to traditional cremation. The apparatus includes a primary vessel where the body is treated with a highly basic solvent to render the body into skeletal remains and liquid remains. A clamp is applied to the skull during processing for solvent access to the skull. A secondary vessel is used to receive the liquid remains from the primary vessel and further treat them. During this further treatment, the skeletal remains left in the primary vessel after the liquefied portion has been transferred to the secondary vessel, can be treated to be decolorized and deodorized, and then returned to the decedent's next of kin as ash-like material.
Claims9
A biological tissue digester system, comprising:
- a sealable vessel constructed and arranged to receive a cadaver to be digested and discharge digestion product in flowable form the vessel including a bottom and parallel, horizontally-spaced rails attached to the inside of the vessel and spaced from the bottom of the vessel;
- and
- a basket with sides and a bottom and supported on the rails of the vessel and spaced from the bottom of the vessel to hold a human body spaced from the bottom of the vessel.
A biological tissue digester system for use with a cadaver, comprising:
- a reaction vessel;
- a basket with sides and a bottom to hold a cadaver for reception inside the reaction vessel;
- and
- a skull clamp with means to apply an effective force to fracture a skull of a cadaver held in the basket.
