They gotta make room for the 2019 models. The new models have the brushed steel trim and the interior is much roomier. That was achieved by removing the extra padding and replacing it with a thin layer of organic material that houses latent larvae that will become active as soon as all noise is removed and the temperature becomes constant. Ugh. Just burn me immediately. My religion (that I was born into) doesn't permit cremation. They want you to be on public display for 3 days in the church, while the mourners weep. Nope, nope, nope. I had to put that in my will. Burn me immediately. Frankly, I'd rather be tossed on the frozen tundra for the wolves and bears to eat, but I'm pretty sure that's illegal. I can just see someone's German Shepard, Fido, coming home with a human femur in his mouth, the RCMP being called, and all hell breaking loose. I used to work with a guy who scattered his mother's cremains at the playground in the neighborhood where she grew up. (The playground had some significance to her/the family that I don't remember.) That neighborhood had deteriorated badly -- drugs, shootings, dead bodies were not a rare occurrence. I watched the news from that town for months afterward, waiting to hear that something identifiable had been discovered in/near that playground. I have no idea if anything identifiable is actually left after cremation, but it just seemed really inappropriate to put someone's ashes in a playground.

I told my kids that I wanna be cremated when I kick it. Then the two of them have to get a tree(oak preferably) dig a hole, put the ashes in and plant the tree. My son asked: so you don’t want them spread, you want a tree on top! Why a tree? I answered: so dogs have a place to raise a leg! 😂
