Discuss Dickens' opinion of Nemo's good Christian burial. Is his attitude positive?

Dickens calls Nemo our dear departed brother but speaks of the body being taken to a "hemmed-in churchyard, pestiferous and obscene, whence malignant diseases are communicated to the bodies of our dear brothers and sisters who have not departed." He implies that those who are there would want to be departed and the scrap of ground into which Nemo is buried in a "foot or so" of dirt. He speaks of how "civilization and barbarism walked this boastful island together." Dickens is disgusted with how the dead are disposed of, and disgusted with the tradition of burying them in such unsanitary and ugly conditions in the name of a Christian burial.
