I advocate cremation for everyone
Why waste the energy and contribute to pollution?
I have 20 acres of land. Plenty of land to bury body. Most states actually have very few laws and regulations for the disposal of a body. Here in WI it is perfectly legal for my dead corpse to buried on our property. My wife will just have to file a map with the county showing where the remains are.
I plan to be in a simple wooden box. I know a couple woodworkers that are willing to build a simple tasteful coffin. Ideally, I would rather just be left in the woods for the wildlife to feast upon and scatter, but I don't think my wife would appreciate the dogs dragging parts of me up to the back porch.
I can think of no better use of my body than for the local bears, wolves and coyotes to feast on. As that is not possible the worms and the bugs in the ground will have to do the job.
A huge bear was just taken just behind our property. Maybe some day my body will be bear bait.
Recycle me.

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

I'm not trying to be lazy, it's just that I could search forever and not find it, but it would still be there, so I think it's better if you maybe provide some evidence first.
Yes you are, because googling "pollution cremation" is real easy.

People need a sense that the dead are being treated well by US, by society, by the culture; what happens to it after that isn't the point.
Why do you feel you get to be the arbiter of what being "treated well" means. The best way to treat my body well is to return it back to nature where it belongs.
