This is just plain silly.
 
Even if all science says you can't be "brought back", it's still a better shot than being preserved and buried the normal way.
 
There is absolutely no way, now, to eliminate the possibility that technology may, someday, be able to reconstruct a human being even down to the microcellular level, even if the original model is a frozen head with all of its cells shatteredy by ice crystals.
 
But I think we can safely eliminate any chance of reconstructing someone who was buried in a cemetary.
