To Be Perfect, Do We Need to Die?

Seeking advice:

Today, Aviva Rahmani wrote a message lamenting the difficulty of living according to environmental strictures. In it She said, "To be perfect, we need to die”.

It seems to me this is only true if we manage the disposition of our dead bodies. Pumping the corpse with embalming chemicals, burning it with fossil fuels, enclosing it in hardwood caskets, sealing it in burial vaults, contributing the toxic chemicals we have ingested over our lifetimes, depositing hip replacements and breast enlargements and tooth amalgams and other non-biodegradable prostheses do not constitute perfection in death. But what does?

I’m actively searching for a responsible approach to death but.... 

– ‘green’ cemeteries are far from where I live and where I will probably die

-      Backyard burials do not appear on the official regulations

Thoughts?

Advice?
