to think this is actually a great, forward thinking idea

[ashamedandconfused]

(may be sensitive issue if recently bereaved)

........plans to heat swimming pool with waste heat from a crematorium

story here

I have had relatives cremated, including one of my children, and do not find this a problem at all

very "green" in fact

WDYT ?

I dont see why the heat should be "wasted" if it can be otherwise utilised, just because it was used for a crematorium. YANBU

I suppose it might be confronting for those who have had loved ones cremated there but I'm not bereaved so I'm not sure whether this issue would impact me or not if I were. I dont think it would, to be honest.

YANBU

sounds like it could work

If I don't think about it too much when I'm swimming, great idea.
Same as I try not to think too much when I'm eating Dates or mussels...

about "dates and mussels" - is there something "odd" in their production then?

I thought it was a great idea too - YANBU

I dont think many people are likely to go straight from their loved ones funeral into the pool, and therefore be creeped out by thinking "granny is being cremated now & heating the pool" - sorry if that sounds tactless or insensitive, its not meant to be

isn't it just one step further on from the councils that burn peoples household waste and use the energy to heat town centre shops etc

Brilliant idea. Not wishing to sound insensitive, perish the thought, but anyone who had a problem with this idea is probably massively over sensitive and needs to get a grip.

A lot of the dates produced in North Africa are 'watered' directly from sewerage plants, and the most abundant yields of mussels are found clinging to sewarage outlet pipes out at sea (particularly in Spain and Portugal). As I say, I try not to think too much when eating them...

It's a great idea.

ah, I see emmanana - dont eat sea food anyway,but love dates - surely what you describe is just organic fertiliser, like using manure?
