Garden burial

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.

Neighbours of ours are planning a medieval-stylee tower folly in their extensive grounds, the basement level of which will house a kind of crypt for their (two) bodies. They too were surprised that it's legal, and that the main issue seems to be pollution of water-courses. I was interested in the potential effect on the value of the property.
