Undertakers look to crematorium to heat new HQ

Quote:
 
Undertakers in the Austrian capital say they're planning to use a crematorium to help heat their new headquarters.
Bestattung Wien spokesman Juergen Sild says cremation requires generating very high temperatures and that the idea, in times of environmental awareness, is to put the excess energy created to good use instead of letting it go to waste.
Sild added Friday that the headquarters, to be situated next to the crematorium and due to be completed next year, would also be warmed with gas.


Yep, that's body heat of another type.

I guess the way the put it sounds more palatable than saying they are going to heat the building by burning bodies.

Indeed! It has a certain ewwww-ness factor for most folks, or so I would think, but then again, these are not most folks. They have obviously gotten past that in their profession.

I want to thank MS for her thread. I was going to post the crematorium article the other day, but I thought it would just seem too weird. Today it fits right in with the other threads. Thanks, MS! :wave:

Amateur hour - a British tabloid journalist true professional would have referred to the plan as 'bringing hot bodies back into the office'.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?
