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.

I'm leaning towards cremate though if I end up with the money when I'm older I would totally go for a creative/artistic mausoleum of some sort. Sort of like this one in NJ. I saw it up close.
When 15-year old Raymond Tse died in a car accident his father was determined to erect a monument to his memory that would please his son. He contracted with a quarry in Vermont to produce a full-size Mercedes carved out of a 66-ton solid block of granite. The cost was about $250,000 in 1983. The car was shipped to Linden, New Jersey and placed next to the son's 4-crypt mausoleum. The 1982 Mercedes Benz 240-D stone replica is complete down to the license plates reading, "RAY TSE."

Cremation is cheaper, then my family can use the $$ for something else ...
Shocking

It's nice to have a grave to visit tbh, I know that they're dead and all but standing there talking does put you at ease.

Agree there.  It's nice to visit my grandfather's grave when I go back to see family in my home town.

I wouldn't want anyone doing that for me, better to go to the pub and have a beer.

Harvest any usable stuff, turn the rest into fertiliser. I'm dead, could not give a flying fuck.

Yes. Organs removed, blood removed, and you get pumped full of formaldehyde.

Being as I have dug up several people on purpose ( reburial else ware ) and by mistake ( Near by casket collapses into adjacent freshly dug grave ) and seen what happens after 2 day 1 year 5 years 10 etc.. I'd have to go with Cremation. .  .

plus it sounds like an Ice Cream Treat.

Cremation.  Put my ashes in a few copenhagen cans, throw them in the closet.

Not only do burials take up space, but they can contaminate the ground and water below it.
I'd prefer to be cremated, don't really care what you do with the ashes. Being shot out of a cannon sounds pretty cool though.

A tube of lipstick? I'd feel like a real prick if that tube slammed into a satellite or the ISS (well, whatever will replace the ISS by the time I'm dead)

I would like to be cremated and my ashes turned into a dildo.
