The logic is sound enough but as usual all consideration of people's feelings are left behind 
I'd like to be buried at the end - nothing fancy, just a cloth wrapping and a hole will do 
Seems like yet another symptom of a very overpopulated planet.
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Precisely what I've always wanted for myself - preferably on a pool in my local park. A bit flashy, perhaps, but it would be a great day out for those celebrating my departure.

I do not understand why people spend thousands of dollars to bury someone. Just drop me in a hole and cover me with dirt. What's the big deal?

Nope. Once upon a time I needed only split seconds to make a crater hole.

Explosives, but where is the difference. I trained using both in El Paso.

People Soup? Just go to any public swimming pool . . . and don't ask about the seasonings!
Serious Part: "Green" - does anyone care to take into account the pollution caused in the manufacture of the chemicals involved in the alkaline solution? There's energy. There's the by products. Just to start. What you've done in this farcical "green" solution is moved the pollution off to somewhere else where you don't have to think about it.
The closest you'll get to a 'green' disposal of a body is burial in plain pine boxes and or only a shroud (naked would be better but, well, you know how people are). This is currently practice by Jews and Muslims. No embalming, either.

I would think that the 'greenest' solution would be to toss all of our dead into an active volcanoes such as Kilauea[^] in Hawaii or Erta Ale[^] in Ethiopia.

Well, it says they're using Potassium Hydroxide which can be made from Potassium Chloride via electrolysis (giving of Hydrogen and Chlorine gas, which you could keep). It seems there are a few ways to get Potassium Chloride so I don't know what the exact by products of that would be, but according to Wikipedia you can also burn Potassium in the presence of Chlorine to get back to Potassium Chloride.
The only other by products are the body that you're disposing of, and they may treat the resulting solution to recover the Potassium or anything else they may consider valuable.
It certainly seems more 'green' than burning.

You're really missing the point: where did the energy come from for the electrolysis of the KCl ? Doesn't that energy count (vs. energy of the cremation)? This is not done in solution, by the way, but on molten KCl [ 1,418°F (770°C) ] and that kind of heat doesn't come cheap, environmentally. And where did that KCl come from . . .
"Burning potassium in the presence of chlorine" is correct - and silly in this case. All you need to do is throw the potassium in water - get to a safe distance in case it explodes - and it will react with the water to produce your KOH and hydrogen gas.
But you must look at the entire system before you make environmental judgements. If you look at an ad put out by someone standing to make a profit - they'll ignore the history. Or, like in the Wizard of Oz, "don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain".

I think one of us might have misinterpreted something.
I'm saying KCl + H20 => KOH + H + Cl to produce the potassium hydroxide via electrolysis, which is safer than putting some potassium in some water. I don't believe you'd even need to heat this for it to work.
You need a lot of energy to cremate a body too, and there are a lot of factors involved in calculating the total cost for each (Depending how far you want to look). But I reckon making people into soup has the potential to be much more efficient than burning them.
Perhaps if we chuck some water in with the body when we cremate somebody, and drive a steam engine off that to generate some electricity to produce the KOH

No No No !
The potassium in water was a response to your Wikipedia 2K+Cl2 reaction.
First problem with yours: where does the KCl come from? It's quite water soluble. Doesn't exist in nature, except perhaps in soil traces.
Second Problem Here's what your reaction should look like (what you have just is wrong wrong wrong!)
KCl + H2O -> KOH + HCl, which, if in water, immediately returns to KCl + H2O. That electrolysis will net you H2 and O2.
Heat it or not, it will never work as you plan!
Chemistry works, and has direction, due to thermodynamics. If you don't take that into account than you can make up anything.
