I'll Take Compost

Assuming I live long enough that this is at least introduced as a method of processing one's dead body (and with Australia and the Netherlands both having inquired after the process, that might be the case), sign me up.

Sounds perfect. None of that embalming formaldehyde crap, no expensive caskets with useless satin lining and padding for that comfort I no longer need, no charring my remains and have my brain explode a hole in my skull in the process, no taking up a useless slot of space in a cemetery, no polluting the ground water or air with either process. And one can finally go back to the earth as was intended.

And for the symbolism, one can live on in the plant or tree which gets planted with you.
