Just a note to folks about our experience with our mother's death (1990). She never had life insurance. Wanted her body "left to science" because she didn't want to be a burden on her family. Turns out that her body still had to be removed by a funeral director and embalmed. The medical school kept her body for a year at which time she was cremated and returned to the family. My sister took on the responsibility of picking up the ashes and having my mother buried next to our father.

Thanks for sharing your experience with your Mother. Those are issues most of us wouldn't think about until we had to deal with it.
