If there is an increase in fuel, how to do you cope with this increase? A cremator in Hong Kong discovered a creative way to make his fuel last longer; he decided to half burn the dead bodies and dump them in a ditch. Here are more details about this report:

That is just so disgusting! I can't see even in desperate measures any excuse for this type of behavior. The Funeral workers if they couldn't afford the extra fuel costs should have put a fair increase into the cost of the cremation, or they should just shut down until things resumed back to normal.
Either way, to dump half burned bodies and organs into a ditch in the middle of a village is very, very wrong!

Wrong wrong wrong that is just wrong! I agree they could have raised their rates to cover the costs after they completed any prepaid obligations. The health issues alone are scary. This is scary though as China sits on a vast amount of untapped coal, will they start using it to supplement the increase in cost of gasoline, diesel in power generation?

I think the cremator is very heartless. Yes these are dead bodies but people paid him to have their loved ones cremated. No one wants to hear from a friend, "Hey, I think I saw your mother! Her body was half burned and is lying in a ditch!" That would be upsetting to anyone to hear how their loved one was treated. Whatever happened to showing respect for the dead?

I think when you get to that stage, and your prepared to show no respect for the dead, then it's time they weren't doing the job at all!
After all, if they're doing this so blatantly, it makes you wonder what else they're prepared to do whilst the dead are in their 'care'!
