This is all symbolic anyway. I agree the whole funeral business is a
big scam. I just want to be buried in the back yard with my dogs. That
can be cremated remains conveyed in a zip lock bag or just hire a guy
with a back hoe and dump me in the hole.
Sounds like a future EPA superfund site to me, assuming ******** Trump
hasn't disbanded the EPA by then. 
Corpses are the ultimate biodegradable item. It is only when we go out
of out way to preserve them that they last more than a few weeks.
It is a good thing or we would be up to our ass in dead things.
Was interesting when we went to the town of Bodio Switzerland where my
wife’s great grandmother emigrated from. Oldest grave in a very old
graveyard was only about 1875. When we went to Salzburg the local guide
said was oldest continuously used graveyard in Europe. From about 1 AD.
But gravestones only went back to about 1850. She said only the last 5
people buried in the grave get a marker. Repurposed to the max.
