        nothing illegal about just getting dropped in a hole as-is on private property most places

        That’s not true for good reason- people who don’t know what they’re doing could contaminate groundwater/runoff very easily.

        It shouldn’t be as expensive as it is, and I’d support dropping unembalmed corpses without certain diseases (an asymptomatic or undiagnosed prion disease could be incredibly dangerous) in a hole, as long as they are adequately buried. That would require an autopsy and either significant refrigeration costs or a rushed job without embalming though.
