Promession is an idea of how to dispose human remains by way of freeze drying.
The concept of promession was developed by Swedish biologist Susanne Wiigh-Mäsak, who derived the name from the Italian word for "promise" (promessa).
[1] She founded Promessa Organic AB in 1997 to commercially pursue her idea.
Critics argue that there is a physical[5] impossibility to atomize a freeze dried human body in this way.
[4][6] Promessa Organic AB was liquidated in 2015 without being able to produce a functioning module or facility.
