I wouldn't expect anyone to be happy about paying their last respects to a loved one's remains. It's not a walk in the woods.
The question at hand is relative, not absolute: would someone be worse off (in the long term) it their last memory of a loved one was of their mangled body, or of a version of it resembling the person in life.
The question is whether they would be worse off with cremation or simply with no ceremony... or with cryonics of course, for that matter.
