Just bury. Nothing will be wasted. No coffins You becone fertiliser to the plants and food for other insects, worms and creatures.
Cremation uses too much energy and emits carbon.

Why waste resources.
You consume fuel and generate greenhouse gases.
And the ash is basically useless.
It's better to feed the corpse to carnivores for recycling.

I told my boss @glockman to climb up Mount Fuji to scatter my ashes there. Please make sure he climbs the mountain, otherwise I will haunt him till thy kingdom cum. :biggrin:

How about sky burial? Lay your corpse on the grassland and become food to preying vultures. Then bits of you will come out as shit and fertilize the soil. Very environmentally friendly.
