Don’t forget to thank Grandma for the heat, dear.
Swedish town will mine the heat from a crematorium in an effort to be green (via):
Andersson explained that the idea came up after a recent environmental review of the crematorium concluded that new ovens would be needed for the facility to reach certain benchmarks.
“After all this talk about the environment we realized we should take advantage of the heat created during cremation,” he said.
Andersson hopes the cemetery’s plans don’t offend anyone, insisting the effort is being undertaking strictly on the basis of its environmental benefits.
“There won’t be anything different about the ashes,” he said.

best title ever, Simone.
I was torn between “Grandma” or “Grandmama.” I think I chose wisely.
