"We don't want people to die, but if they are dead, we want to provide them with a good service," said Henry Keizer, secretary-general of the International Cremation Federation, at a weekend conference in Sofia.
Undertakers at the conference said they wanted environment- friendly methods to cut the waste resulting from traditional burials or air pollution from old-fashioned crematoriums.
"They were not much different from a very large pizza oven," Keizer said.
Among the possibilities participants suggested were high- tech plans such as freezing bodies and breaking them down with sound waves.
