Anyone else rather not spend money for a casket at their funeral?

I'd rather be buried under a tree or with a tree sapling...

What are you going to do with yourself?

Not decided but I may choose what is called a "direct cremation".

That is, with no ceremony within the crematorium. Mourners are allowed to gather in the grounds but not enter the chapel. It reduces the cost considerably, and is becoming quite popular.

I don't know if the cremation itself is carried out at the time or after the last service of the day, which I believe is the normal practice, and why the ashes are not available on the day.
