Would you opt for this? 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

I think anything that shakes up the funeral industry is a good thing.
I really hate to see people being pressured into buying elaborate, expensive and environmentally wasteful boxes that are going to get set on fire.
The whole business of giving people a heap of ash that may or may not contain some remnants of the departed seems utterly bizarre to me.

I agree: my mother asked for a cardboard coffin, so we went with that - looked pretty horrible, if I'm honest - and I was annoyed to find out it was several hundred pounds more than a "traditional wood" box.

Agreed, I found the funeral home absurd when I buried my dad. My mom was out of it, so I had to handle all of this. For the 10K to put his body in the ground, I just gritted my teeth. And that was 30 years ago. If I had my preference, I'd like a family burial plot, and as others have said, a blanket and a hole. Plant roses over my body.
Frankly, I like the idea of being used as fertilizer - put me in the flower bed. Remember me when the flowers bloom.

That was my first though.. although I'd say the first steps would be to convert the fluid to fertilizer first, then maybe move onto animal feeds

Look at the skull. Is it required to leave your brain at the front desk when you come in? I once worked for such an employer too.

So they pour your remains down the sink and stick your bones in a tumble dyer. When I finally pass I hope my disposal is handled with this level of dignity and respect.

The logic is sound enough but as usual all consideration of people's feelings are left behind 
I'd like to be buried at the end - nothing fancy, just a cloth wrapping and a hole will do 
Seems like yet another symptom of a very overpopulated planet.

Precisely what I've always wanted for myself - preferably on a pool in my local park. A bit flashy, perhaps, but it would be a great day out for those celebrating my departure.

I do not understand why people spend thousands of dollars to bury someone. Just drop me in a hole and cover me with dirt. What's the big deal?

I've got a feeling it may take you a while to dig a hole.

Nope. Once upon a time I needed only split seconds to make a crater hole.

Explosives, but where is the difference. I trained using both in El Paso.
