Bringing new meaning to the term "body heat," a UK crematorium is hoping to make some extra cash by selling energy produced during the cremation process.
If all goes as planned, the Durham Crematorium will install turbines in two of its burners and sell the excess energy to Great Britain's National Grid, The Telegraph reports.
A third burner will continue to warm the site's chapel and offices.

HEAT generated by a North- East crematorium could be fed back into the National Grid to provide electricity.
Durham Crematorium is investigating the possibility of installing turbines in two of its new furnaces to use the heat generated from cremations to produce electricity, and use the third to heat its chapel and offices.
It is thought the turbines would generate sufficient electricity to power 1,500 television sets.
