bury or burn
Feb 9 2012, 1:05 AM EST
it has been 5 months since Z-day. Your bol has been running smoothly but you have had a raider attack. You killed the raiders but lost one of your own people. do you pile the bodys up and burn them or bury bodys. Also what if you have had zombie that heard the battle and came towards your bol you have killed them as they arrive. Would you burn or bury the zombies and humans.

Burn em all. Our man gets his own ceremony, funeral pyre style. The raiders get a mass cremation, same way. The zeds get taken away a bit and burned in a pit so the ashes can be doused with lye or acid and buried. Do you find this valuable? |

I agree with Stryker, pile the raiders and cremate them. Give your friend a proper burial.

Don't forget it takes a LOT of wood to burn a corpse, let alone lots of them, those of you in the suburbs would be able to use what you find in house's, but if you in grass land or arid land there wont be a lot to use.Personally I would bury raiders and my own, so they can fertilise my farm land, and try and burn the zeds some distance from the fort, maybe the scrap yard so I could use the tyres of the broken cars and any other rubbish that burns. 2 out of 2 found this valuable.

Depends on the fuel resource - if it is low or extremely finite, bury them. If plentiful and can be easily manufactured, burn'emAs for the zombies, not matter what, they will be treated like NBC materials and safely disposed of. Keep in mind, in addition to whatever rotting corpses have, they may contain other toxins they picked up from their travels. Do you find this valuable? |

In StrykerPez's discussion on waste, this came up. If I had a colony set up, after 5 months we would have a high temperature furnace for destroying bodies, but we would treat our dead with more respect than the raiders. The raiders would still get a respectful burial, as they *did* manage to survive the apocalypse, even if I don't agree with how they did it, and after all, we're still all human beings, it's just that our guy or gal would get more respect. The people loading zombies into the furnace would wear protective clothing, which might well also be burned (I reckon we might have a few spare boiler suits by then). No ceremony for Zack, unless Zack is also the name of the colonist killed.

how would you power the furnace. wood? gas? If wood do you have a larger stockpile of wood that can be used?

Mostly biogas generated from *ahem* waste (excrement). Generally, the biogas generated would power generators, but some of it could be siphoned off for use incinerating stuff. Problem is, methane burns clean, but not particularly hot, so injecting petrol or diesel into the mixture before using it to cremate bodies would help raise the temperature sufficiently (IIRC, bodies burn completely only at fairly high temperatures). The other fuel would come from storage tanks which would house non-biogas fuel (petrol and diesel), and would be used sparingly.

For the non-zed dead, you can (1) bury them somewhere downstream of your water table (2) bury them in the compost heap for 6 months or longer (3) use them to feed dogs, laying hens, or breeding stock of swine (do not eat human or anything that has eaten human within the last 6 months) (4) dessicate them over asphalt or by hanging them on racks.Zed dead should be dessicated then burned, burned whole, or carried far down wind and down stream and dump them. Do not feed the infected to livestock or bury them in your garden or compost heap. Putting them in a hole for a tree, however, is okay so long as the tree has several years before fruiting. If you are going to burn corpses, don't put them in the coals. Put them on a metal rack over a fire - the slow roast will dehydrate the corpse and use less fuel than keeping a fire going on and around a corpse. Do you find this valuable? |

That is a good idea with the dessicate them, not sure how well that would work all year round but during the summer it would save a lot off fuel, but would smell a lot so again do it down windDo you find this valuable? |

I would burn them main reason is space. I know this is messed up but i don't want to waste perfectly good farmland for some dead body also their ashes will be used to fertilize the ground quite nicely. But, for very respectful persons if we live near the coast that is. we will get their body's make a canoe set it on fire and send it to sea so that they may go on one final great "journey"
