when a body is buried it decomposes, but if it is embalmed first, it preserves the body and decomposition is slowed down

Bacteria and organisms in the ground begin to break the body back down into its basic elements. Basically, it becomes fertilizer for future plant and, eventually, animal life.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Why can’t I find ‘ashes to ashes, dust to dust’ in the Bible?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can’t find ‘ashes to ashes, dust to dust’ in the Bible because it isn’t there! The phrase comes from the funeral service in the Book of Common Prayer, and it is based on Genesis 3:19.
Each church of the Anglican Communion has its own version of the Book of Common Prayer. In the current American version, it appears on page 485 (Burial Rite 1) and on page 501 (Burial Rite 2) in a prayer that is said by the priest as earth is ceremonially cast on the coffin:
In sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ, we commend to Almighty God our brother ; and we commit his body to the ground; earth to earth; ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The Lord bless him and keep him, the Lord make his face to shine upon him and be gracious unto him and give him peace. Amen.
The funeral service is poignantly meaningful and a literary masterpiece that has rightly become part of the literary treasure of the English language. You’d be surprised how many pastors whose churches have no formal liturgy use the Book of Common Prayer as a worship resource.
In case you are wondering, the familiar wedding phrase, ‘dearly beloved, we are gathered here together…’ also comes from the Book of Common Prayer.
