This legislation doesn't force anyone to be composted after their death. It gives a families and loved ones a new option, without taking away any options.
As such we haven't taken away anyone's options to treat humans specially, or however they wanted to be treated.
As long as it's safe and doesn't introduce significant negative externalities, I fail to see why not granting more choices would be a bad idea.
