This may be a problem on my side but just to check: Does the full body of the article consist of just these 9 words: "New body 'liquefaction' unit unveiled in Florida funeral home" or are parts of that website not loading for me?

Had to click the read more bit to get:

A Glasgow-based company has installed its first commercial "alkaline hydrolysis" unit at a Florida funeral home.

The unit by Resomation Ltd is billed as a green alternative to cremation and works by dissolving the body in heated alkaline water.

The facility has been installed at the Anderson-McQueen funeral home in St Petersburg, and will be used for the first time in the coming weeks.

Here, company founder Sandy Sullivan explains how the machine works
