My parent's were both cremated, as per their wills.
It left us feeling a bit adrift. No idea what to do with the ashes, I was going to scatter them up where Dad grew up, but have since found that it isn't permitted on the location.
Having a location, a gravesite, means a lot to people. My grandmother was buried in an unmarked plot and it created a family rift (some wanted a headstone, some didn't want to pay).
