Humans are bizarrely fond of stuffing their dead with preservatives, hermetically sealing them in a box, and/or incinerating them. Like, it's our last chance to give a little bit back to nature, but nope.

With all the crap we put in ourselves it's a good thing we slow down that process, like the casing of a slow action pill

How's incinerating bad? Unless you're keeping the leftovers I guess
