Personally I plan on cremation, or being buried under a tree (so that it benefits), or both.There is no beneficial aspect to your cremated remains that the tree will gain. Being buried is a waste of space, at the most you will have a third generation visiting your grave. It is just a place holder for memories, it's a big big waste of space to do that. A small urn with a few ashes is enough for anybody.
A funeral and burial is to benefit the living not the dead. The dead don't give a shit, I won't feel it as the flames consume my shell.
