What to Do with the Body?

The November/December issue of Probate & Property has an interesting article written by Russell E. Haddleton and entitled "What to Do with the Body? The Trouble with Postmortem Disposition."  The article -- which I can't seem to find online -- gives a nice rundown of different types of burial, including (but not limited to):

-burial at sea (with citations!  see 40 C.F.R. §229.1); and

-freeze-drying ("the decedent's body is flash-frozen to minus 18 C..., then dipped in liquid nitrogen at a temperature of minus 196 C.... The body, which is then brittle, is subjected to sound waves that reduce it to powder.  The body can then be cremated or buried in a coffin made of cornstarch, which, when placed in the ground, will degrade in about a year").
