Oh my, what a sobering discussion and no fun! I don't know if he would be interested but there is an organization called Bodies for Science. My husband and I are signed up as we feel that will be our final contribution to this world. You still pay $350.00 to have the body taken to their hospital and then for 2 years they use it for research. At the end, it is cremated and the remains sent to whoever wants them, or they are disposed of. Just a thought when I read your post. Another big hug for you Rose, you are awesome!
