Some traditions involve no embalming and the body is disposed of within 24 hours. You can refrigerate for up to four days without embalming. A ‘memorial service’ is when you don’t have the body or remains present. …A ‘reception’ can be done anywhere.  …Let me give you some numbers about the resources used in burials - There was a study done by Cornel University that showed there are 285 thousand gallons of embalming fluids are put into the ground every single year… enough concrete in terms of vaults that protect caskets could build a 2 lane highway from New York to Detroit every single year; enough copper and bronze used every single year that coul...
