It is kinda harsh, dead people have feelings too ya know.. They'd rather be eaten slowly by the worms and all those other creatures 6 feet under.
I don't believe in cremation but once the body is dead, my belief is that the soul moves on to the spiritual world so cremation shouldn't have any consequence on it.

First Law of Thermodynamics: "Energy can neither be created or destroyed, it can only be changed..." Life after death. Eternal.
