What is the most economical way to dispose of the late in space?

Set 200 years into the future, humanity's footprints can be seen as far as Planet Nine in the Solar system. The most common propulsion engine is still ion drive and regrettably no one solves FTL. Since precious resources such as air and water are crucial for our species survival, what is the most economical way to dispose of the deceased in space? I suppose bringing the corpse back to Earth for cremation spends too much fuel and time; also, due to space constraints, taxidermy is an expensive option. I'm looking at space burial (space debris might endanger space-flight) or maybe recycling... (medicine then is still far from playing god)
