Maybe in the old days. These days you'd just reincarnate as decomposition bacteria and then live out your life in a pool of formaldehyde and human jerky chunks inside a sealed casket.

There are those cool liquefaction burial places though that will dissolve you in a strong acid (or base?). Your family is left with some you juice that they can flush down the toilet (or drink in a cocktail, I suppose).

Maybe the Tibetans and their sky burials with vultures eating your fresh meat is the way to go.

Aquamation. It's basically like when murder victims get dissolved in a bathtub full of lye, except they charge you a ton to do it, and market it as a gentler alternative to cremation, because it uses less heat.
