How about 'Promession' or environmentally friendly freeze drying -it's the latest thing.
Seriously may consider this.
Eaten by worms or burned... hmm... I know you are dead and everything but this seems much cleaner and nicer.
How about this - build your-own IKEA flat pack coffin? 'KLAPS". Absolutely brilliant.
I'm definitely going in this.
You can actually buy the plans from the wise guy who came up with it called Joe Scanlan $27.50 shipped. Make from old bits of IKEA furniture.
Being the DIY person of the house and the one who puts up all the shelves and the one who has to put together all the DIY furniture, this sums me up perfectly.
(how brilliant are the images on this? The guy ringing up IKEA next to the dead guy. Hilarious)

They have the rapidity of your post corporal decay listed among the advertised virtues. I suspect that when I add moribundity to my list of dubious achievements, I will be experiencing no particular urgency to decompose.
Be prepared to be consumed by coffin flies then! They are tiny, gnat-sized flies that can penetrate 4-5 feet of dirt and enter a wooden box. They can not penetrate a regular crypt/coffin.
I actually think it would be nice to decompose as quickly and naturally as possible. Worms, flies, maggots...bring them on. It would be nice to think that my body is part of the food chain/ecosystem. The insect who eats me may be eaten by a bird, which may be eaten by a cat, etc, etc. Circle of life.
I'll be dead so I won't mind much. I suppose it helps that in life I am fond of creepy crawlies and was never much scared of spiders and the like. I garden barefoot as well as sans gloves and love the feel of mud and dirt while I'm working.
I'm going to be cremated and scattered somewhere. Or maybe my ashes will be buried, I'll leave that up to my survivors because they may have a preference. I sure won't.
Tibetan Sky Funeral. No sense in wasting good meat. It's probably illegal here, though.
Barring that, I already told my son I don't want a nickel spent on an elaborate funeral. Organ donation and medical research for my remains.
