Oh dear, Ken, I was always a cremation type of guy. I might change my mind to burial after reading that!

I'd read the whole magilla before deciding. The author definitely favors cremation over the trussed-up corpse route -- and she has experience at both, of course!
There's a song by a local band called the Whirling Furfies about our local river called the Yarra. It's brown and turgid from silty clay. It goes.
"When I die, put me in a barra
take me down to the banks of the yarra
dig a hole deep and narra
bury me by my brown yarra"
It never took off as a burial ritual.
Nice song though.
