There is something really weird to me of decomposing in a box for hundreds of years. There is something just more clean to me being slid through a 1000+ degree oven and put in a sealed bowl.That's just me.
Be sure to take care of your affairs. I did mine so son wouldn't be shortchanged. If you don't leave a will the state can zero you out of all your assets.
