This feels like snake oil. A grave without cremation has to be way less energy consuming than controlled "compostation".

The difference is that you can't bury a body in a garden, for example (for sanitary reasons). But after it is properly composted, what you have is, well, compost. Which can then be placed somewhere and a tree planted in it, for example - and then you have a living gravestone.
