.... Doctors worried the disease may have mutated, and hoped to study her brain after her passing to find out more.
When the time came though, her neurologist couldnt accept the body. Her son hoped reaching out to other donation facilities could lead to the same result.
Days later, he received a wooden box with his mothers information and an ID number. Inside, he was told, was a majority of her ashes. Years went by before Stauffer learned what he was told, wasnt the case.
She was then supposedly strapped in a chair on some sort of apparatus, and a detonation took place underneath her to basically kind of get an idea of what the human body goes through when a vehicle is hit by an IED.

LOL! I can totally see that!
Both Beau and I will be cremated (WHEN THE TIME COMES!) and spread on our Pasture.
We can join our Best Dogs Ever, our Best Cats Ever, and the Best Horse Ever, Shy-Anne.
(Our Mule will most likely outlive us both; he’s too mean to die, LOL!)
Our bodies are Temporary Housing. Organic. Dust to Dust, Ashes to Ashes! I’ll never understand people getting so wrapped up in humans being anything other than that.
sounds like his mom, even after her death, may have helped to save other people’s lives :)
If he was disappointed by her body not being disected and used in a lab then my guess he was not really donating to science or scientific purposes to rather donating to a dream idea he had in his head.
...rather than pay those crooks in funeral homes $12K to get rid of it.
When a friend’s elderly grandmother passed, the funeral director claimed that the body had to be embalmed $$$ first!!
The family paid, sad.
Ship my body back to Texas
If I die out on the trail
Im not picky where you bury me
Just put me in the mail
Lay me down in Cowtown
Where Ill never be alone
Or pushin up the rose of San Antone
She wasn’t a Hollow Woman and went out with a bang not a whimper.
DO NOT IMAGE SEARCH BODY FARM.
Sorry!
What happened to your great grandparents?
We can join our Best Dogs Ever, our Best Cats Ever, and the Best Horse Ever, Shy-Anne.
To me, that would be a comforting thought.
MY uncle, born and raised on the old family farm wanted to be buried in an ancient cemetery on the edge of the farm.
He when he died suddenly; because the cemetery was officially closed it would require a special permit for his burial.
Sadly he is NOT buried in a spot about 200 yards out his kitchen window.
Well...??
Canada’s first ‘body farm’ to open in Quebec and people are already signing up to be donors

“we get bodies back.”
I think it’s we get glorified bodies - recognizable as us to others but some how better - i don’t quite recall - all i know is my catholic schooling freaked me out about death and facing judgement - eternity.
Glad I since learned more and God revealed more so I understand better and don’t have fear of whatever will be.
Well...??
Grandpa went peacefully in his sleep.
Unlike the rest, who screamed as the car went over the cliff!
ROFL!!!
Best joke I’ve heard in a while :)
I visited that place once.
I learned out in the gutter one day.
When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

Thank you. I just buried my Mother in April and cannot imagine treating her body in the ways stated in this thread. Yes, it is expensive, but insurance can be bought to cover this.
I want my carbons Free! to wander the earth.
I also want to be cremated, and have requested my ashes be scattered on the Oregon Trail.
My friends and one remaining family member have orders to just dump me in a hole in the far corner of my land. And to hell with the niceties and permits.
Assuming I die inside and the coyotes and bears don’t get to me first.
No need for any official notice at all, as I’m not taking social security or any other government program; No life insurance. All the assets are liquid and accessible by each, according to how I have shared them out. The land is in a trust.
And I’m not giving any of it to the morticians.
