As you know, some -- most, probably -- in Western culture and many others, put a great deal of value on the bodies of the dead and their burial places.

Particularly people who believe in the Resurrection of the body.

I can't square that with sailors who seem to accept burial at sea with equanimity. But burial at sea at least has a ceremony, a "Christian burial."

The desire for a ritual burial is so important that it was the plot of many Greek plays, most famously Sophocles' Antigone.
