    Cremation is the most
    practical,
    hygienic,
    eco-friendly method of disposal of the dead,
    ...if one is not a Cannibal.

    Thus there are no resources wasted on building and maintaining graves, revisiting them, building shrines or fighting over them, getting hurt by their desacration', etc.
    The carbon-footprient of a one-off cremation is miniscule compared to any alternative method,
    except perhaps the stone-age 'cairn' burial.
    *
    Typical Hindu memorial service is and annual ritual feast to the [gluttonous] priest class,
    but nowadays many people feed the poor and hungry
    on the death-anniversary of their dear ones.
    *
    In reality, the dead live in the memory of those whom leave behind, irrespective or religion or belief.
