Great research both of you. Small bit to add from my experience. In 2005 I was founding director and treasurer of a natural burial cemetery just south of Ithaca, NY. A small nimble board made this low cost low maintenance option available and the cost structure set up a permanent maintenance fund that takes care of all expenses off the tax payers backs, at least to the best of my ability per the rules at the time of founding, with the idea that it would eventually be old growth forest and left alone.

Just after founding I received a questionnaire from homeland security folks - wanted to know things like body capacity, and accommodation of tractor trailers. Thinking ahead I’d say. I could digress on the many things I learned about the industry. We did have t-shirts

‘Save a forest, plant yourself’ :)
