Ah well, here you go with the latest research.Actually, the sun won't go supernova, it's not massive enough, but it will expand into a red giant star that will pretty certainly swallow Venus and Mercury, quite possibly Earth as well.
Even if it doesn't swallow us, it will be this giant nuclear furnace just a few millions of miles away. Not good.

--- and a simplified and more general version https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/0..._death_nebula/
As the Sun turns into a red giant star it will create a planetary nebula around it (no, nothng to do with planets, the name is an historical misunderstanding as they looked a bit like planets in the small and relatively crude early telescopes).
Previously, it had been thought that the sun was too small to create such a nebula.
So, we'll still be cremated but our cemetery may well look like one of these. Not a bad way to go.
