It's actually the exact opposite to what he says. In the US you can do almost anything you want with human remains, while in Europe it's much more restricted. In Denmark for example, you have to have the body/ashes buried in a licensed cemetery. You can't keep the ashes yourself, you can't bury them in your backyard, you can't spread them at some random special place (except for the sea in rare circumstances).
Also... what awesome displays? Does he think knight armour in museums has bones inside it?
Well yes of course, how else are they going to get the armor to stand up? /s
There are minimum wage employees inside, working in shifts.
They moonlight as living statues in the city center.
Talk about pigeonholed.
There are quite a few places in Europe decorated with bones and even on display corpses.
For instance: https://www.slate.com/blogs/atlas_obscura/2014/10/01/the_catacombs_of_capuchin_monastery_in_palermo_sicily.html
Ever seen a church made out of bones in America?
Only thing coming to mind is the catacombs in Paris and stuff like that.
The reason for restrictions in Denmark is to protect our clean ground water. If people could just place dead corpses or ashes everywhere, the drinking water would be polluted with heavy metals and other chemicals.
In Denmark heavy metal is for your ears only!
So like your drinking water isn't cleaned or filtered? It's simply just the groundwater in Denmark? I can't imagine creamed remains actually being a problem with a water supply, seems extreme.
Now I want to see your recipe book.
Oh ho ho no, this are creamed dad, old family recipe!
It's filtered, but that's it.
Drillings aren't allowed near graveyards or other polluted properties.
That's the same as in the US.
