If the law was being changed so that everyone had to be put on a funeral pyre then yes, I'd object. But that's not the point. If 100 years ago people had wanted to have funeral pyres in England then the laws would have changed and we'd all have the option now - it's never come up before because we've done things the way that we do things for all these years.
The thing is that by allowing a religion to deal with their dead in one way doesn't mean that you have to change anything that you do personally.
