Don't know if it is still so here in Alaska. Years ago my boss's husband died. The boys built a pine box and they buried the old boy in the back yard themselves. Perfectly legal then.
If I had my druthers I'd be taken out in the woods for the critters to clean up. Can't do it. Legally. Cremation within certain time frame is least expensive and complicated. As said, I've made notions for where the ashes should be scattered, but personally I don't really care. Flushed down the toilet is fine by me.
Won't know anyway.
