I would have thought cremation, on the face of it, in part because of the small space that the ashes take: none. So, no real huge place that needs to be taken care of, mowed and irrigated, electric lights for the office, and so on. I threw my Mom's ashes into the ocean, per her request. With burial, there has to be a place, someone has to dig the hole (requiring an engine, probably) place has to be maintained, and so on. Interesting question.
