While on the subject - I am a big proponent of donating a body to science. Not the weird body worlds type of science, but you can donate your remains to a university medical school with body donation programs. I know that may not be a popular thing to do within some populations but short of organ donation, I can't think of many better uses for a body than for the next generation of doctors to use it to study.
Plus I am pretty sure that after two years they will cremate the remains for free - so that is a bit of a win.
