Natural burials vs. Traditional burials.

I thought this was an interesting read. Considering, I am a " millennial" and I hear a lot from friends and family of all ages that they are leaning twards cremation because it's more cost effective and less hassle.
This article leans more for people my age, but can a natural burial ( no embalming, head stone, casket, burial plot, almost like buring a pet) become part of the norm or is it crazy?

I don't understand why we do all that shite for a dead body anyways. It's dead, harvest all the potentially useful shite and burn the rest.

At Larkspur, working in sync with natural ecology is key, and the driving force of their mission. Bodies are not embalmed, and tombstones are not allowed on the property. But the natural burials are not meant to dissuade from use of the park’s overall green space: It boasts hiking paths, picnic spots, and an expansive wildflower-covered meadow to see wildlife. Burial plots in the meadow and woods are unmarked or noted by a flat commemorative stone, sometimes without any inscription. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the beautiful scenery as they would at any other state park.
Sounds like the perfect place to dispose of a body.

I thought it is illegal to bury someone without embalming in Louisiana. After looking it up, however, a body must be embalmed or refrigerated if burial or cremation will not occur within 30 hours of death in Louisiana.

We did a cremation and just had a family gathering for my father. Yes, it is much more cost effective. More importantly, it was easier for my grieving. The day was more about remembering him. If it had been with his body on display it would have been a hundred times harder.

Grave plots are shallow enough to allow the composting process to flourish.

The amount of money spent on burying a body that will never be seen again is the dumbest thing people do IMO

Just bury* me on that crime lab plot at Univ of Tennessee
*pretty sure they just like throw you on top of a rusted car and leave you to the elements so grad students can poke at you a few weeks later
