It costs a lot compared to cremation.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32041233]I don't think cremation is a very big carbon dioxide producer to be honest.[/QUOTE]
Did you even read the article?
Cremation accounts for 16% of mercury emissions in the UK.
Do you like breathing mercury?
Personally, I'd like to be thrown into the ocean to become food for various pelagic sea creatures. I'll then be shat out and become an integral part of the ocean floor.

Just as dead, except you take up lots of space and leave your family with an ongoing refrigeration bill for your meatsicle corpse, in turn further harming the environment through useless power consumption for however long you're kept preserved for.

When I die, I wanna be fed to great white sharks.

Some people hate hte idea of rotting away while bugs eat you so they choose for cremation. Cremation is also cheaper i think.

We can make that happen tomorrow actually.

I'd rather be re-used than left in the ground. Makes me feel better about myself being a useless prick in person.
It would be hilarious if they gave you a little jar with your liquified loved one in, and then put some fake eyeballs floating in there for kicks
Personally I'd like to be a skeleton in a classroom.
Then no-one can arrest me for showing my boner to kids.

Sticking your body in the ground is actually a great method of recycling. You put a crop over an ancient Indian burial site, guess what you're eating.

Another good way is to be eaten and shit out somewhere as food for decomposers. Cremation does nothing beneficial except emit carbon.
It sounds relaxing mind, like a very hot bath.

It just died away
yay, now I can be liquified

They're expensive and take up a lot of space.
I say we plow up existing cemeteries and use them for fertilizer.
If you wanna get serious about saving the planet, let's get fucking serious about saving the planet.
Let's not.
I'd rather freeze myself.
Here's hoping that when we all die, cremation via orbital re-entry is relatively inexpensive.
I want to be burned into ash and have the urn sealed and flung into space, which will no doubt be possible by the time I die.

Have your body plasticized to a fancy lounge chair with a pipe and fling it into space.

I'd like to be flung into the sun.
Then in billions of years when it goes super nova, I shall eternally be scattered across the Milky Way
Being drained into the shitter is one hell of a selling point, gonna have to think on it.
[quote]then pressurizes (to about ten atmospheres) and heats (to over 350 degrees F) the solution for about three hours.[/quote]
Doesn't exactly sound energy efficient.

this sounds like something out of a nine inch nails music video
I just wanted a nice, regular Viking funeral...
Though this sounds pretty cool, it's better for the environment than cremation.
How good for the environment is burial at sea?
Placed into a cannon and fired like confetti over a crowded Heavy Metal concert is still my preferred form of corpse disposal.
[QUOTE=LunchboxOfDoom;32041043]Takes up a lot of space, caskets and vaults crack open over time and preservatives leak out of them (poisoning the soil), bodies go in looking pretty good and wind up looking very nasty, etc.[/QUOTE]
Burial in a casket the normal way doesn't have to be expensive.
Besides, what is more beautiful than letting the dead be joined with the Earth?

Just make sure you specify to your children "when" not "while"
I want to be shot out into space. towards the sun.

i want to be tossed into a eruption-imminent volcano
my ashes will be the next pompeii
