2.)They said that they were ripping off the idea from the Egyptians.

How about, eg, for a mere $1500, I arrange to have your remains permanently entombed in Heidelburg castle, with all the German emporers (actually, Palantine Princes).
Would that resting place be worth $1500 to ye, now?
But I am going to be recycled and cremated.
See, that is the thing, now.
Cremation creates ash.
Ash is an ingredient of concrete - the denser, the better. That is why the coluseum is still standing - the romans used volcanic ash.
You wish to be recycled? OK, I can do that, I will recycle you as a brick (stone, actually), in the reconstruction of Heidelburg.
And all for a mere $1500, less than the cost of a burial plot.
Think of your loved ones - the trip to Europe, the dining in, the funeral, the Altstadt - and no graveside maintence fees, ever!
The City of Heidelburg protect that tourist trap like you would never believe.
Would it be worth it, to you? Two be recycled as a stone in the world’s most famous castle?
In the world’s most romantic city?
For a mere $1500 dollars?
