My main gripe is that humans don't have much meat on them. It works in a pinch, but the effort needed to eat so far outside of our normal pallette isn't worth it.
That said, I would be in favor of letting nature decompose our bodies more. I hate having to waste so much effort on disposing of bodies, especially once I die. I want my body to get torn apart by animals, not buried with holy rites. Mummification is the only burial practice that seems kinda cool. Cremation seems unnecessary, especially if I can get eaten by something instead. Just take what's useful, chop me up a bit, and throw me in the compost!
Just dump me in a forest somewhere
That can kinda be arranged, actually. Something that came up during one of Caitlin Doughty's videos is a nature preserve type place in Florida that they protect by burying people there to decompose naturally. I'm not going to look for more info about this on Christmas though, lol.
You could become a zoroastrian.
Just gotta find a location to build a big tower where there are vultures
