Bad bugs that were thought to be long dead came back to life, in lab conditions, when hundreds/thousands year old bodies were examined. The bugs had been preserved in the permafrost.

Both countries are ok to bury in. Their issue with burials and permafrost, is they can only bury at certain times of the year, particularly in the arctic north of Greenland. You're right though, the bodies don't really break down because of the cold. Particularly the cemetries in Greenland, with the villages being coastal due to their way of life and harsh inland conditions, many cemetries have some really nice backdrops of the atlantic ocean and of the various fjords.
