I'm either getting fire cremated or donating my body to a body farm, but after what I've seen about water cremation, I'm reconsidering my options.

Water Cremation vs Flame Cremation
They say you get 20% more of your loved one back if you opt for water cremation, but this is our first time comparing the two side by side!
Water on the Left🌊
Flame on the Right🔥
❓Why would you get more with water? Since water cremation is a gentler process, less is destroyed, and it is 100% your person, no chance of comingling of remains. It is important to note that these bodies had different bone density to begin with. Hence the exaggerated difference in the amount pictured.
❓Why is the texture of the remains different? Flame causes the bone to be very dry and brittle, so it breaks down in the bone processor more rugged around the edges. With water cremation, bones are soft and easily broken down after drying, resulting in a fine, whitish powder.
❗I think this makes it obvious you'll meed to have your Transit Permits and cremation certificates handy of you have to travel thru TSA.
