I worry about lots of things, but burial/cremation are likely to happen to me one or two days after all those things are done.
So to answer your question, who cares?
Funerals aren't for the dead person; they're for the family. So, the answer to that is--"Your family will care." Or your friends, or whoever you happen to leave behind. Even if you're the last to go, somebody's still got to bury the body.
In the case of people donating their organs or doing body donation, the people who get the body (or pieces of it) will care.
I just hope I don't die before my mom, because she would probably freak out at the thought of me wanting to donate my body and veto it (besides, you know, freaking out in general). She attaches way too much importance to it; but it's understandable--it's a very sentimental thing, even if the body no longer contains the information that made the person who they are.
