[The Great RJ]

When my father-in-law passed away I was asked to help in the selection of a casket. The funeral director was not the most honest and had the first casket you saw being the cheapest most shoddy built wooden box you could imagine and with a price tag of $1200. The next in line was a nearly $10,000 bronze casket. Fortunately the family selected a more reasonably priced item, but the experience left me cold. If you are planning to be buried what better way than in a hand crafted casket made by monks at a price far less than a funeral director's mark up.

However, I have decided to give my body to the local medical school to save the needless expense of a casket and embalming as well as have my old carcase serve a better purpose than to be pickled and potted.

A friend of my mother did that. When the med school was done with the body they called her family to come pick it up. Seriously, do your research to find out what happens when they're done with you.
