Garden burial

[watervole]

I've just been Googling to see if it's legal to be buried in your own garden, and, slightly to my surprise, it seems that it is. 

I need to look into this a bit more.  I'd certainly be happy to end up that way, and it ought to be massively cheaper than most of the alternatives.

I think you have to be a certain distance from any habitation, cant remember how many. So you have to take neighbours into consideration as well as your own house. If you are cremated there is no such rule for scattering ashes. I assume this is because the fire cleanses so there is no danger of contamination.

I think the only restriction is on being close to running water or a pond.
