I prefer cremation.
1. the lot in the cemetery is cheaper
2. you mustn't be interred in 3 days; your ashes can be stowed away until a convenient sunny day for burial.
3. since I do not like my coffin rolled on a small wagon to the grave but my remains carried by hand it is easier for two captains to carry my ashes in a 9 mm ammo box covered with a small flag.

Otherwise, I should heartily assent to Rapaire's viking boat. The good lady mustn't be on top of the load, it was only practized in India.
