re: Strip me for parts and burn the rest
Hey, Larry--
I share your approach, but please look into your state's regulations concerning the treatment of corpses. Here, crematoriums have to incinerate bodies that are enclosed in regulation caskets, which the families of the deceased must purchase.
So it's still a good idea to prepay the thing. That way, the leverage available for the sales pitch is lessened, though there will always be some funeral homes that will encourage an "upgrade". The seats won't be any better though. ;)
