The environmental situation on Mars does not allow a buried corpse to decompose. To avoid an infinite growth of the number of tombs we need a different kind of Funeral.
How the Swedish do
Dead bodies are freeze-dried with liquid nitrogen, then powdered by a vibration mechanism and finally buried on the cemetery, not too far beneth the surface. The roots of plants grow into the powder and bring the substances of the powder into the circles of eternity. This funeral technology has an ethical aspect: If the grandchild asks "Where has my grandma gone?" you can tell him "She has turned into a beautiful rose...".
How do do on Mars?
The funeral can be very similar like the Swedish do. The powder may be buried in parts of the greenhouses.
