What happens to my body after this experience has ended is of no concern to me. The only request I have made of my family is that if the body is to be buried, it must be a simple, natural burial, with no embalming, no vault, no headstone, and a biodegradable cloth shroud or plain pine coffin. There is no reason to preserve or protect it, as I will not be using it again. Thus, it should be allowed to return to the earth from which it came.
Fortunately, this is legal where I live, and there are "green" cemeteries that will provide such services.
My younger brother is a very active environmentalist, and one of the few family members I have told about my NDE, so he is on board with this.
