Why do they bury U in a suit & tie

I'm leaving with only what I was dressed in - back on 21 June 45 - riding a burning cardboard box into eternity ...
OR,
... maybe freeze dried and shaken to bits - a town in Sweden plans to become the first place in the world where corpses will be disposed of by freeze-drying, as an environmentally friendly alternative to cremation or burial.
Swedes will then have the chance to bury their dead according to the pioneering method, which involves freezing the body, dipping it in liquid nitrogen and gently vibrating it to shatter it into powder. This is put into a small box made of potato or corn starch and placed in a shallow grave, where it will disintegrate within six to 12 months.
People are to be encouraged to plant a tree on the grave. It would feed off the compost formed from the body, to emphasise the organic cycle of life. I'd like to adopt an avacado tree - Hass - as my last nurishment project.

That was mentioned in Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. A lot of people are looking into human composting.
A good read, if you're of a macabre bent.0 -
My Grandfather-his best denim overalls, my Dad-his favorite red flannel shirt and jeans with a can of snuff in his pocket and my Mom-not a stitch. The hubbie and myself-ashes in the wind. 0 -
I told my wife I want to be cremated and my ashes dumped into the city water reservoir.
