Doesn't matter. You won't have to hear it. You'll be the guy who is dead.
Thinking about it that way, it does not matter at all what one's funeral is like, or what is done with the body. Obviously, the OP is concerned about this sort of thing now. And equally obviously, he won't when he is dead.
Basically, you seem to be saying that he shouldn't give a rat's ass what happens at his funeral, or even if there is one.
