    Nah don’t cremate. Bury the body with no box and no preservation. Get those nutrients right back into the soil as fast as possible.

      Reminds me of something that happened when I was a gravedigger. The indigent get no embalming so we get them in the ground quickly, 2 or 3 days. Even then the smell is powerful sometimes. Anyway, an indigent guys funeral was held up for some reason that escapes me, so they froze him, while his arms were above his head. The story of getting him in that cheap cardboard casket the funeral director told me had me rolling. I don’t know how that cheap casket stayed together but when we got it it was in baaad shape. Wish I took a picture.
