Aside from willing one's body parts to be used for medical transplants, it's always seemed odd to me that anyone would care what happened to their
dead body, i.e. specify burial or cremation. It's not like it actually matters or you'll be around to know about what happens.
I'd be fine with being used as plant fertilizer, aka human compost. Seems ridiculous to spend thousands of dollars on burial plots, caskets,
undertakers, or cremation and urns, when that money can help out the living.
(I'm not putting down someone trying to honor the stated wishes of the departed, though)
