Pretty much any ecological method like this is illegal in the USA due to lobbying from the mortuary industry. They really want to get their dollar. You have to be embalmed before you can be cremated which seems like a huge waste.

But letting your body rot in the woods doesn’t really scale. Yeah a sky burial works for a small mountain village, but you would have to dedicate huge swathes of land and sustain a large carrion bird population to do that for a city without it turning into a biohazard.

There is a reason most cultures prefer to bury or burn their dead.

Enbalming is not necessary and not mandatory, and it's a myth that it is. Yes, funeral homes will try really hard to sell it, and it's one of those routine things that happens lickety-split before you can stop it, but NO, it is not required!
