If you're buried won't you turn into methane and then CO2 anyway?

I don't know that much about decay processes, I'm afraid. I'm kinda hoping to turn to worm food, whatever that is.

Still, animals die and decay in the wild, they don't get cremated in the wild[0]. That suggests to me it's the more natural and sustainable way to end.
