    I had a friend in college who pointed out that someday soon, cemeteries will be the only green spaces in our big cities.  And perhaps a century from now there will be a strong impetus to just pull out the headstones and convert them into parks.  I guess that's one good reason for cemeteries.

    Otherwise, I'd like to be disposed of as cheaply and simply as possible.  Why should my family spend thousands of dollars? 

    There's a woman on YouTube named Kaitlin Daugherty who's a mortician, and makes videos about death and what happens after that.  She's talking about a new form of 'cremation' in water, where the body is basically dissolved instead of burnt.  More ecologically sensitive.
