My biggest difficulty with cremations is that they use up so much fossil fuel. "Wiigh-Masak's solution has bodies immersed in liquid nitrogen to remove water, causing them to crumble into fine organis dust." Sound a lot better. Although the reason for doing this is " burials require that the corpse be filled with embalming fluids which can pollute the groundwater as the body decays." -I suspect that this is not applicable in the UK as we don't normally embalm. In which case woodland burial still seems the most ecological option as there is no power use to cool the liquid nitrogen.
