is this moraly correct?

Perhaps, they should have just done it without involving the public. After all, it's not like they are cremating bodies illegally. They are simply taking advantage of the energy created in the cremation process to provide a much needed service.

Still, if that were being done in my community, I think I'd rather not know about it.

Yep...agree with everything you said about above post Diana...my dad wanted cremated, he said the burden of the costs of funerals these days should not be placed on the family shoulders of the living. My brother in-law was also cremated last year about this time...his wife has his ashes in such an way as an memorial that each of the kids have an keepsake also. His funeral was one of the sweetest memories of an man for an funeral I'd been to in an long time...it wasn't over bearing sorrowful. It was like sitting there "talking" with good friends and laughing about old times...instead of death...we even laughed an bit... as we thought about things he'd done or said through the years. Because he had quite the personally all of his own. He was an character...rather good or bad for it all. I still like the idea of an small memorial stone to go visit for Memorial Day... in ways..but its true..the need for money even touches this area of our lives. I would imagine that the heat source for the pool would be filtered for the most part... before they used it. Who cares, if someone can make use of it...let them.

Given the vast array of opinion on this subject and how a particular individual would react to the moral implications, I doubt that there could ever be rational consensus on this issue.

Personally, I am opting for cremation when my time expires here and I would have absolutely no moral dilemma with the productive use of the paltry amount of energy that could be harnessed via the combustion of my mortal remains! My parents have also opted for that method of final disposal as have the other members of my family. I personally see no point in the artificial preservation of the body after death and internment in a concrete-lined burial crypt--but that is my personal opinion. Many others are comforted by the presence of their loved one's preserved body, and I completely respect that as well.

I think its ok to be honest!  can't see its doing any harm, and it doesn't seem disrespectful to anyone that i can see!

Hey they'll be using the heat to run the McDonalds down the road next!!

Don' t laugh...with mother we have an cemetary to go  to place flowers for her on Memorial Day..with dad being cremated, about all we have for him on Memorial Day left is an BBQ, my step-mother kept hsi ashes so they could blow in the wind together some day over at the coast... (No, that strange looking ash deposit is not from Mt. St Helens this morning..which they use to make jewerly out of that at one time).....though it would be suitablre I guess if we put in an newspaper clipping memorial once in an while..I see people that do that. He'd probably like the BBQ better though, knowing him. He'd probably like an family fishing trip for that matter of fact.
