I can't for anything figure out why anyone would flush money away on a funeral and casket at all. All that you need is a cardboard box, then have your ashes thrown in the face of someone you don't like.

Or, Evo's Tibetan sky burial. That makes even more sense.

When I die, I want my wife to dump my body out into the woods somewhere remote and call the wardens a few days later to say that I hadn't returned from a fishing trip in a different location. Hopefully, they'll never find my body. I've eaten lots of animals over the years, and they deserve a turn-about. Why burn or bury perfectly usable proteins and minerals?

Precisely... and worse yet pad the pockets of someone who capitalizes upon grief.
