With space constraints many opt for cremation. Here in India Hindus have just one option and that is cremation. There are two ways where one is, by using firewood and the other electric cremation.
Electric cremation is no doubt expensive but seems to be the best option. It gets done in minutes and also with this method there is no pollution.
Many Catholics also choose this option and the ashes are stored in niches provided in a cemetry. I remember a friend of ours chose cremation as he did not want his body to be consumed by maggots. Weird reason no doubt!

I suppose one has to make that request in a Will
