Read an interesting article recently, which I conveniently can't find,
about linking cemetaries with land trusts. In effect, being buried out
in a forest/path, in a non-embalmed state, to decompose naturally.
Seems like the way to go to me.

Being buried in the normal sense, I'd always worry about coming back
as a ghost and having some ghost hunters having to salt n burn my
bones. That's just creepy.
