It seems pretty crazy, but I saw a documentary on cultures that clean the bones and some of them keep them in their houses for a time after the bones are cleaned. So while yes, defleshing isn't something we find comforting to look at I'm sure burning a body could look pretty brutal to other ultures, the end result isn't that different from cremains in an urn.

Personally I think people should spend more time with their dead. As creepy as that may sound to some, it really helps with closure. It seems in current American culture we just want to get it away from us, put it in a ziplock bag and bury it away. There's not alot of "honor" and "cherish" in that.
