If that is not viable, cremated and my ashes spread out at sea or deep in the woods....no standard funeral for me. Standard funerals average more than $6,000 and are a waste of land, time, flowers and food.
When you die one day (hopefully not today) would you want to be cremated or buried? And why?

Yank all my useful organs and use then for those who need them (if any) and then turn me to ash.
The body will only be worm food after I die... if there is a useful part of me that can save or extend another's life, then use me for it. As far as the rest - why waste the space to feed the worms? They have plenty to eat already.

Cremation just uses up fuel and pollutes the atmosphere.
