We Need More Autopsies, to Help Save the Living

I'm donating my body to science. I don't see much use in having a death ceremony involving my body. Will probably be much cheaper for my family too.

You may still get autopsied. If you die of an accident, unexpectedly, or as the result of a homicide, suicide, or just because you're physician won't sign a death certificate or hasn't seen you in the last year.

Your family will likely want ceremonies to help them grieve and deal with your loss. Maybe just bury an empty casket.

Exactly. Funerals are for the living, not the dead.
