*Plastication: A New Trend in Body Preservation

If cremation or embalming isn’t for you, perhaps plastication is what you are looking for! Plastication is an exciting up and coming trend for after death options. Plastication Incorporated has patented the process of encasing the decedent in an extremely thick plastic case for the purpose of preservation. Henry Fragonard of Plastication Incorporated explains “we were looking for a way to preserve a loved one in a way that is more natural than the brutal embalming process.  Our process doesn’t require harsh chemicals to be injected into your loved one. We simply place your loved one in a 3 foot by 8-foot Plastication cell and then we lovingly pour the plastic around them, and when it is hardened, they are completely encased and preserved forever.” Plastication uses 100% recycled plastics that would otherwise end up in a landfill, so the process is not only humane but also environmentally friendly. “The beauty of Plastication is that your loved one can spend eternity in a place of their choosing,” Says Fragonard. People who choose Plastication can choose to be buried, displayed, or placed in an area that they truly loved, as long as a permit is granted.  Fragonard says “as long as you take care of everything ahead of time, you can decide to be placed in a forest, weighted and sunk to the bottom of the ocean, or blasted into space. The options are limitless and each one is unique and beautiful in its own way.” Plastication is not only beautiful but more affordable as well. Fragonard says “our corporation originally tested the same process with wax but it wasn’t stable enough and wasn’t as aesthetically pleasing as the look of plastic.” With the patented Plastication process, you can decide if you would like to be posed or have items you cherished in life placed within your plastic encasement. Some decedents have indicated they want to have beloved pets encased with them at the time the plastic is poured to ensure they will be together forever. “Plastication is inexpensive, beautiful, and it will last for an eternity,” says Fragonard. “The only thing that will last longer than Plasication is death itself.”
