Given that you want *lots* of biomass in the recycling, and that one of the better ways of dealing with sewage is a series of artifical marrshes (and works at *really* low tech), it's quite likely that they'd bury the dead in the first or second marsh. That's unlikely to shock anybody. Welll, ther *smell* might... Not sure if they'd have to dig upo the graves after a period of tiome and do something to "encourage" the bones to break down though. -- Leonard Erickson (aka shadow) shadow at shadowgard dot com
