    Liquified, I want to die by getting hit by a meteor...

    At that point the cremated or buried argument is moot.

    Cremation is generally the best way to go.

    The primary reason is that there's typically a centralized area for easier access by friends/family post-passing (cremation niches in temples/churches/cemetaries), and after several years when surviving next-of-kin are old and passing on, the deceased remains can be scattered away. Because let's face it, nobody remembers anyone beyond 2-3 generations max. Your great grandkids will not be visiting your remains.
    It would be very difficult and costly to process afterward if the deceased remains were fully buried.

    The real question is how the ashes are processed. Note that "ashes" typically consists of pulverized bones as well since those aren't entirely disintegrated in the cremation process.

    That's where you start going into the realm of novelty and oftentimes stupidity. Traditional respectful methods are sea burials where the ashes are scattered in a designated location. But nowadays you have retards offering everything from sky/space/land/bridge/building scatterings, to transformation of ashes to other animate/inanimate objects. And people buy into them because they think it's "cool".

    Cremated, it's cheaper and I don't want my children to have to deal with a big financial burden due to my death.

    Being cremated and then buried in my property doesn't sound that bad.

    I know someone who is a mortician and all the shit they do to a body to make it presentable puts me off.

    I want to cremated. Just imagining myself in a coffin and people are looking at me through it feels embarrassing. I mean I can probably choose to have my coffin closed throughout the funeral but I prefer being cremated.
