We can't just count the carbon cost of incineration without comparing the carbon cost of using a cemetery in the middle of town or of moving the dead for burial further away from city centers. It's a tradeoff that has to take into account the costs over the lifetime of city dwellers around cemeteries. Let's not be too hasty assuming that burying has zero carbon costs.
