Someday it will be aceptable to have digital video storage/playback units for the remains of dead human beings. - just like it was on Star Trek when Tasha Yar died and we saw her holographic image played back.
But, for right now, it is seen as a cheesy tech gimmick which won't be acceptable socially until Apple releases its new "iTombs".
I personally think we waste far too much land on cemeterys and i'd love to see humans returned to the earth as dust rather than boxed up and taking up even more space than they did when they were alive.

"...taking up even more space than they did when they were alive."
I don't know about you, but I am probably not going to be buried within a pyramid.
