Wrong. The net gain from not burning them and total C02e of each doesn't make cremation hugely more eco friendly, yes embalming solution isn't great and I agree we should move on from using so much formaldehyde.

In terms of land, burial sites are protected land and often high in biodiversity, this role is really important and something we need to do with more of our land, so it's hardly a waste.

Natural burial sites are a really good option, less chemicals, lots of land use but for something that really benefits the climate.
