I would think that burial is more environmentally friendly, regenerate soil, no fuel or materials required ... etc.

Yes, one might think that, but in practice, cadavers are embalmed in an attempt to prevent decomposition. Furthermore, graveyards take up land that
could be put to better use.

Pretty neat.
I've donated my body to science to let some med students practice surgical procedures. If I'm lucky, my skeleton will be stripped and bleached, then
wired back together as an anatomical model. No sense in taking up space in a graveyard somewhere, and it makes me happy to know I will help people
learn even after death.
If you'd rather be hydrolyzed into poop soup, then flushed and crushed, that's cool too.
