What do you think about composting bodies?

I read an article entitled, A Project to Turn Corpses into Compost,  from the New York Times, released an article to day to see if decomposing bodies can be composted.  Katrina Spade an architect came up with this new innovative idea that would “grow new life” from a nutrient filled body. It would solve the problem of urban cemeteries filling up. The plan is creating a composting facility that would accommodate up to thirty decomposing bodies at one time. Her plan is to build the first human compost facility in Seattle, WA.  Families would have a ceremony to drop off their deceased family members and be able to come back in a couple weeks or couple months and take some of the compost and plant a garden in remembrance of the loved one. There are many different legal laws, society, and religious opinions that oppose this new idea. I am not really sure that I know what to think about this idea. What are your thoughts about this idea?

Here is the article Link: (If you want more information)
