If they built a big bonfire with your body in the heart of it and danced around it saying goodbye, kat's idea about "setting their spirits free through fire" would maybe make sense to me. But being wheeled away out of sight to be burnt in an oven, while the family and friends sit awkwardly in pews - no way.

Standing round a grave and lowering the body, and coming back later and tidying it up and putting in a few bulbs and so on is a better way to part, I feel.

What I like better is the idea of a woodland or better still an orchard burial, with an apple tree planted on top of you, or a blackberry bush. Woodland funerals are starting to come in. I don't think the apple trees and blackberry bushes have yet managed to make much headway, but I hope they'll come in time.
