death is death, theres no real need for ceremony. the whole reason they bury dead bodies 6 feet deep is for a few good reasons
1. to prevent the spread of disease linked with decomposing bodies
2. wolves/coyotes/other animal wont dig them up and spread around disease
it used to be about that, now its about the hyper reality concept of "ceremony" although it accomplishes the same thing.
i think its funny how people can get pissed at something that doesnt truly exist.
