my goodness!

This method sounds neither respectful to the deceased nor environmentally friendly.  

Natural decomposition has been the age old way to complete the cycle of life -- this returns nutrients to the environment and in my opinion is much more peaceful way to be remembered by your loved ones than being dissolved in caustic liquid.

I have doubts as to how environmentally friendly this process really is.  It would take significant amts of energy to heat large volumes of lye with a person in it and the sheer volumes of lye dumped down the drain would be damaging for the environment in itself.  I work in a biology laboratory, and we are not allowed to dump any  volume (not to mention gallons and gallons) of extremely basic or acidic compounds down the drain without neutralizing the liquid first.  

Isn't it just easier and more humane to just let nature take its course?
