Beware, human bodies are often full of medicine that might be toxic to wildlife or fish.

A rite where human remains are eaten by vultures is partly the reason why vultures in India are close to extinction (together with the same medicines being used in livestock that the vultures also feed on).

That is a valid concern, one that was not as great when the funerary rites were first invented.
