Cremation. Burial seems so selfish. You cost your estate to buy a plot of land for god knows how long, then you rot away taking up space. I bike through a cemetery to work every day. What a colossally useless thing that is. It could be a park for people to play in, or additional housing space in the inner city, or whatever. But no. We've got a massive hunk of uselessness. About the only benefit is it is a home for rabbits and coyotes.
You want people to have a memorial for you? Fine, sprinkle your ashes somewhere meaningful to you, leave a little plaque if you can. It will be much more pleasant to visit than a vast expanse of other rotting corpses.
