@Miraz That’s interesting! I’ve certainly never heard of that aspect.

I guess this mostly comes from my personal belief/want to be cremated. Quite simply, given the resources of this planet, I don’t want to be a burden when I go.

Interestingly, I asked my wife (she’s a history professor) about the number of people that have died in history versus the amount of land we have on the plant. And she assured me that the idea of burying a whole person in some kind of casket or man-made body holder (I can’t think of a better name for that 😃) is a relatively new phenomenon.
