And it isn’t as if there couldn’t still be a remembrance ceremony with the leftover ashes.

I prefer to have my body buried in accordance with ethnic and cultural norms. Is there an option where they can take out my brain and preserve it and then allow my body to be buried?

That is a completely understandable and respectable wish. You can absolutely have people do whatever you would like them to do with your body. Just be sure to write it all down, and share your desires with your loved ones in advance. Since most people don't know when they're going to die, it is important to convey your desires as soon as possible. Best wishes to you.
