It's human composting basically.
It's not legal in the UK, not yet, but my guest wants to change that.
Christopher Hughes was a mortuary technician for more than 30 years.
He worked for coroners around the UK.
He's also travelled the world looking at different cultures and their approaches to death.
And now he's become a passionate advocate of terramation and he wants to set up the UK's first human composting service.
Is it a radical idea?
Well, he thinks so.
He thinks it could transform not just how we mourn and grieve and celebrate our loved ones, but also our attitude to death itself.
As you might expect, there are question marks about safety, sensitivity and scale.
As always on this podcast, we approach the subject with an open mind and a critical lens.
Obviously, this is a conversation about death, and it does include some quite graphic detail sometimes about what happens to the human body after you've died.
So just to be aware of that and a little warning before we start.
But I hope you enjoy my conversation with Christopher Hughes.
Christopher Hughes, welcome to Radical.
Thank you very much.
It's a pleasure to be here.
It's great to have you in the studio.
Could we start...
By just outlining your radical idea in like a sentence.
