I'm to be buried naturally with no casket or embalming. Great for wildlife. It's like putting a fish head in the hole when you plant corn. Except, you know, a 200lb guy.

Cemeteries are a waste of space and resources.
Funerals are for the living.
There's a deep human need to engage in death-related rituals, and burial is one that's been around for a very very long time. I do not expect to end the use of burial.
Sure, but you have to recognize the inherent unsustainable nature.
There are a lot of options for dealing with that, including the possibility of burying bodies for a century or three, and subsequently moving any bones to an ossuary.
