The druid finishes his chanting, and in a puff of smoke the body disappears in a puff of smoke (and miscellaneous pyrotechnics) into a tree trunk.
The company grows trees especially grown to entomb bodies within a large trunk. Once the tree has reached maturity, it is hollowed out on the inside and
the deceased are ceremoniously sealed off inside the tree. The hollow is then filled with plastic or something like that (such as the tree sap that turns into amber), to create a lasting archeological curio in centuries to come (why not?).
(?) This could be your whole family tree.

How many years must one wait to be sent off in a second "puff of smoke (and miscellaneous pyrotechnics)"? |
|
| |
Fill the hollow with the stuff that hardens into amber and you'll get my vote. |

Make sure all their cats go in with them - people need cat escorts in the afterlife. |
|
| |
Will it keep growing off my corpse? I'd want that more than being encased in amber. |
|
| |
You think your cats will escort you [CF]? You wait - they'll be off catching little dead things in next door's garden before you know it. |
|
| |
Women and cats do as they please; men and dogs should get used to it, right? |

Brilliant! It's brilliant I tell you! Brilliant! |

I think you could just fill it with Honey. Honey never goes bad, there is 2,000 year old honey from egypt you could theoretically eat! The Honey condenses... dangit what's the word? Starts with a 'c'. Ok, whatevers (verb) into pure sugar. All you have to do is boil it in water to turn it back into honey. This idea, is genius! Just imagine freezing people in Honey, and beeing able to thaw them hundreds of years later! |

[+] This will undoubtedly disturb future lumberjacks, that is, if we don't just cut down trees with robots. |

How do you get the body in the hollow? Blend & pour? Other methods may lead to high tree fatality rates. |
|
| |
Alternatively, you could embalm the corpse with a very fluid epoxy, and after it sets, dissolve away the body, leaving a lovely tree like form. |
