Forms of Disposition

This continuing education module contains information on the various forms of disposition available in Canada as well as several other disposition methods that are being proposed or developed in other places that may be available to our client families in the near future. As funeral service professionals, it is important that we remain informed about both current and new disposition options that are either currently available or in various stages of development and acceptance. To do this, this course will address the disposition methods of earth burial, cremation, green burial, body donation, alkaline hydrolysis, and promession. We will then explore a few other possible forms of disposition, including sea burial, human composting, and mycoremediation.
