Somebody commented earlier on the amount of space it takes to bury people. My aunt & uncle were cremated but they had their urns buried together in a very small plot, about 1/4 size of an adults. Most of my family have gone, and are going the buriel route, although my Mom and stepdad have discussed creamation quite a bit here lately....
Personally, if it would help at all! I'd like to do like my favorite uncle did, and donate my body to medical science. Hell, after that uncomfortable, embarrasing, mortifying!!trip to the "Teaching Hospital" in Ft. Worth, I'm up for the med students to probe & prod especially when I'm dead! I managed to handle it when I was alive! Hopefully, they learn much more than they could without access to cadeavers.
