According to the Federal Trade Commission, no state can mandate embalming, therefore there are no state laws anywhere that require embalming of a dead human body, unless there is to be a public visitation or if there isn't refridgeration available until the cremation can take place, only then is embalming required.

No one has to be embalmed in the US. Jewish people are generally not embalmed because Jewish law demands immediate burial (within 3 days of death).

YOU do not have to embalm the body in California. If the recently past is a long-time resident of that state you can just drop the remains in a volcano on state property.
besides, you are not a certified mortician anyway.

Your ashes could be buried everywhere and you have your rose trees.

I dont know, but I think it should be a personal right, to not have your corpse infused with formaldehyde prior to dropping you in the ground - No thanks!!
