Happily! When I have kicked the bucket it might as well be put to good use, waste not, want not.

Re: Would You Leave Your Body to Medical Science..

If you do leave your body to Medical Science, does that mean you will never have to have a funeral or the costs associated with a funeral?

I know you’re dead but I might be a bit worried, l could feel them chopping me up and pulling stuff out!!
I know that sounds mad but none of us really know what happens to us after death!

Edited to say, l have just read the link!

Re: Would You Leave Your Body to Medical Science..

Mainly I'd like to know what happens when they've finished with you? I wouldn't want my kids getting an unexpected bill later.
Also Like Art I'd be scared of what they would do to my body..

You can opt for them to dipose of you which is done with a service then cremation or you can opt to have your remains sent to a Funeral director of your choice which you pre arrange
