Two things.

For cremation, it would be best if we can set it to not cremate fresh animals.  My hunter brings in fresh game and before it can be butchered it gets tossed in the incinerator.  a dont burn fresh kills option for animals and humans would be nice.

id like to be able to see the weapon everyone has equipped in the colony overview screen.

That is all for now.

Not really anything against your idea buuuuuuuut.

So to fix your problem simply do this
Have Cremation and Butcher's Table in two (relatively) far rooms.
Give both a stockpile for their own (so bodies and such will be stored near them while they're waiting to be crafted on)
Set the Butcher's Stockpile to not accept rotten corpses, and give it a higher preference
Set the radius of both Crematorium and Butcher's Table small enough so that it doesn't encircle the others stockpile but does their own

Boom, done. Typically I have both set to be done forever. Without corpses the butcher's table doesn't work (and I usually don't hunt so much that an overload is problem) and I'll turn off the power to the Crematorium to pause the jobs there. And if an animal isn't butchered in the Butcher's before it rots then it'll be moved to the crematorium in its own time.

But good idea nonetheless... both of them.

hmmm...  good workaround. 

also for cremation, an auto strip option would be nice, to avoid burning useful outfits and such.

Even better if you could choose somehow what you'd want to strip, otherwise the area would just be clogged with useless apparel

Apparel is still worth something to sell, just to note.

Also, there is a setting to restrict the burning of animal corpses, I think.
