How can you question their decisions? They were #1 and we were #50.

We give too much importance to an empty shell of a body. I believe in an afterlife and when your soul has left why does it matter. Composting can bring new life, what is wrong with that???

If you think about it, it is kind of a silly tradition that we put people in caskets.

Humans are corporeal. We are embodied beings. Our humanity and our consciousness is framed by our gifts and our limitations as embodied spirits.
I don’t think that the physical remains of our body after death should be “preserved” or prevented from returning “to the earth” (ashes to ashes, dust to dust), but neither should we treat our bodies like discarded husks or just some trash that needs to be disposed of like garbage. To do so would contribute to the cheapening of our understanding of human life.

Isn't that what happens when they stick us in the hole in the ground anyway?

It's just going to cheapen a lot of funeral home owners.

Of all the things to be outraged about, this one doesn’t seem like a big deal

It would do that, and that’s great as far as I’m concerned. I think the funeral/burial business is a racket.
But I don’t think it would “just” do that. I think there’s a middle ground between expensive burial processes that seek to seal up a body in a vault and a casket in perpetuity, and treating a body like discarded trash.
The devil is in the details.

Why? It’s how it’s been done for thousands of years
Not like I’m gonna give a shite when I’m gone. They can take my body and blow it up in a movie for all I care

It's no different from cremation, just a lot weirder. 
Edit: No I take that back. Composting makes you more useful.

What we have today is an offshoot of health related practices put into place to protect populated area's from certain diseases that were common as a result of contaminated water, etc.
It has morphed into a ridiculous money making industry now.
