    Honestly, why isn’t this just standard procedure for dealing with the dead? Especially if they’re already being cremated. It’s very weird to me that people are so pearl-clutchy about what happens to a dead body. I would much prefer mine goes to something helpful to someone over sitting on a mantle or frozen in a sterile box.

    Obviously the consent part is a valid issue, I (somewhat begrudgingly) wouldn’t want to force this on people with deep religious reasons to keep a body whole, but I’d have it be something you have to opt out of.
