After death, who chooses what happens to the body?

If there is no will and no family to decide what is to be done with the body then the state takes possession of the corpse. It will then normally be cremated because this is cheaper than burial.

The body will only be donated if that person declared this as their wish either before death or in a will.

Normally you do by letting your Family know or in your will or as like in Australia you can Nominate on your Drivers Licence that you wish to Donate your Organs to save someone else's life

Their family goes into debt. Educating hospitals like Emory institution in Atlanta and medical institution of Georgia in Augusta used to take bodies gratis for the cadavers use of their educating doctors and surgeons the workings of our miraculously designed our bodies. This present day when you shouldn't have the cash to get your physique to said associations, your household will must go in debt to get you there. Their are too many homeless and uninsured men and women who reside within the neighborhood of those satisfactory hospitals that they don't need us individuals who live 4 or 5 hours power away. I've checked into it and being forty one/2 hours away, it might cost my family $6,000.00 for the funeral residence to take me to either one. I will get a tight Christian funeral for that, however that does not include burial. My most cost-effective manner out is cremation. I need my ashes poured out within the Alapaha river,home of fine instances...

This is usually dictated in a Will. If you don't write a Will, then when you die your family makes all of the funeral arrangements.

Next of kin, but without clear will there will be no donation.

You can write it in your will

YOUR FAMILY.

No one, you're dead. Dead is dead.
