my family can spend 5 dollars on a box for me to haunt them in their house if they want; otherwise, spread me over Death Valley grass illegally please

Is it illegal? I know someone who did this with one of their grandparents. He contacted someone at LSU and they took them out onto the field and spread them.

It's also weird how the funeral director trying to sell you the expensive coffins points out how much protection they give and how they keep out moisture, etc., like that's going to fricking matter.

Guilt, mostly. Much of the grief you see in bereavement is guilt - people wish they would have spent more time with the deceased or treated them better.
Not all - of course - a good bit of it is genuine loss, particularly if the deceased was important to the person by virtue of family, friendship, emotional support, good times, etc.
But as far as extravagant funerals - that's a lot of guilt manifesting itself (unless the deceased person planned all these arrangements ahead of time).

My late fiance was a huge LSU fan (TD member, alum, season ticket holder for decades, flying to away games, etc).
He was cremated and his mom wished to leave a bit of him where he had spent so many happy times, where they play the games. She wanted to take just a pinch of his ashes and put them in the field in the eye of the tiger.
It was quietly arranged and carried out. So he is still there with her and his beloved Tigers on game day.

Yep, couldn't care less what they do with my body. Sprinkle ashes somewhere if they really want to, but don't take up any space.
The widow of my good friend that passed about 3 yrs ago gave me some of his ashes. I had a potter friend use his ashes as a glaze on some cups he made for me. I think of Felix every morning when I drink my joe.

Oh no man screw that I don't want my dead burned up arse (probably mixed up with somebody else's burned up dead arse) to be in somebody's cup.
Dig a hole, throw me in it, divide up my stuff, come pour one out for me every now and then.

No way I'm letting my body rot. Cremation for me.

Sometimes I'll greet poor Felix before taking my first gulp of coffee.

Fun fact. In victorian times and earlier the cemeteries would sell the families (and people looking to secure a plot for themselves) on the notion that their relative or themselves may not actually be deceased and that for an additional fee they would have a bell above ground attached to a string underground and in the coffin so that if the deceased 'woke up' they would ring the bell to alert people they weren't actually dead. This never actually occurred as the people were usually..well, dead.
Thus came the term 'dead ringer'
But it was yet another way for the funeral business to make more money. You can still see these in some older cemeteries. I saw a few in Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah this past spring when I went.

Like you are going to know. Your family could feed you to a pack of wolves and you wouldn't know the difference.
You're dead.

Thankfully my family is very open and humorous when it comes to funerals. We put the fun in funeral and our ideas on how we want to be dealt with are very well known.
BIL loved Alaska so his ashes were blown out of a cannon over Cook Inlet in Alaska.
Mom always wanted a Viking funeral. She said just put her ashes in a pirogue, set it on fire and set sail. This was done.
My family knows that all I want is to mix my ashes with some concrete mix, some purple dye and make me into a rock (I love rocks).
Stuff like this helps a lot with the grief. We are creative, fun and loving. We carry out our plans with the same sense of fun we have always had. It's like our last escapade with our loved one.
Not saying that is how all people should be but it helps our crazy bunch. Screw giving a funeral home thousands of dollars for their BS.

true. I'd rather my family save that money, and give it to me while I'm still alive
