i see a couple commenters in semi-relevant professions so i'd like to ask: when i die i don't want to be pickled and buried, nor belched into the atmosphere as a plume of carbon. (i like the idea of my remains being placed on a body farm where they can go back to nature but i don't really know where to start looking into a thing like that.) to whom and how can i donate my remains with assurance things like this won't happen?

If you’re not already aware, take a look at tree pod burial, depending on country/states.

for example, look at https://www.greenmatters.com/p/tree-pod-burials

this article from the same site lists the availability in different states in US: https://www.greenmatters.com/sustainable-living/what-states-allow-green-burials
