it does matter. we do not have an infinite supply of land.
I REALLY don't think that's going to be much of an issue anytime soon, and areas where it is a problem seem to handle it easily enough. Into a really far-flung future, if we haven't exterminated ourselves, we could just reclaim graveyards at will and exhume interred remains for a reburial off-world, if we really need aforementioned space.
To seriously answer the OP, though, burial if you have the cash and are required to by religion (ugh). Cremation if you want to be merciful towards your family if they don't not have much money.
