If you're in a relatively privileged class and this bothers you, one easy step is to file an end of life directive with your doctor (you should be doing this anyway), and say you want to donate your body for medical training/research.
You won't miss it I promise.
I'm certainly going to do that with my body. No sense in wasting space in a cemetery.
And if my organs are still good enough to use for someone else, take them.
My mom did this. When she told me about it I thought that it was a great idea. I'm planning on doing the same.
