    As a life long vegetarian, bone disposal has never been high on my list of necessities. I think I’d also probably think human bones. Somehow it doesn’t feel that absurd until you start really thinking about it.

    I went to graduate school with a woman who worked with the forensic Anthropologist who did the autopsies for the Gainesville (FL) mass murders back in the early '90s, which involved some gruesome decapitations. One night we were all out drinking and she started saying in a really loud voice “do you all know how fucking hard it is to cut off a head? You really have to work that thing back and forth and cut away at the ligaments” etc. etc. Needless to say everyone else in the bar was pretty horrified.

    She also mentioned that in Florida, whenever they go out looking for a missing and presumed murdered person, they always find a bunch of other bodies before they find the particular one they’re looking for.

      That was where I went as well, but the better option for both is pressure cooking. It softens the bones considerably and you get delicious high calcium broth.
