A new way of 'burial' - human composting

I think it's a lovely idea, to actual complete the life cycle and go back to grow something. I saw water cremation has just been legalised here in Scotland, so having choice over what happens should be a good thing, especially more eco options.

In a sci fi book I read, they are on a space ship and that's what they do with the deceased, and then it's used for growing things, and they have special gardeners who reverentially scatter it on communal flower beds to keep the space ship looking more natural for people's mental health. (Was a nice series).

With people going to the space again after a long hiatus, I think the idea of a composting cycle rather than a space burial at sea is a lot nicer. 

Churches are against it, but they've had a monopoly over human remains for a long time, so it's natural they wouldn't allow it as they are slow to change. But if they updated, I can imagine instead of graveyards in the future, imagine tended funeral gardens, that are havens of quiet and peace and reflection and full of life.

I'd like a woodland burial but I don't think I could afford it as they can be quite expensive, a basket coffin is loads dearer than a cheap wooden alternative.

I think it would be nice to have some burial mounds too with niches for ashes, maybe even family niches.

I'd heard of water disposal too.

Why should Churches be against these alternatives? They reluctantly acepted cremation and my guess would be that they will accept these alternatives too, there's nothing stopping people from having a funeral service in a church before going to whatever sort of disposal you choose, just like going to a public graveyard or crematorium.

I think if I won stupid amounts of money on the lottery I don't do, I'd like to buy the land for a set up burial site, people could bring the ashes or compost too and either scatter them or bring plants.
