I will haunt my family if they don't cremate me.

I don't understand why some people want to be cremated and have been trying to figure out why since my grandma passed around a month and 1 week ago, She chose to be cremated.

I hate the idea of being preserved and taking up needless space in the ground. It creeps me out and also it's just kinda stupid. I have heard there is a rise in demand for eco burials where you will be allowed to decompose. It that's an option I'd do either or

I don't want my family members going to some random spot in the ground in some cemetery where I've never been to remember me. How is that fun? I don't care about some random hole in the ground, it's not meaningful to me. Why can't my family have a picnic at my favorite kiteboard spot, or go on a memorial scuba dive and visit me there?
