Contact your local medical examiner's office. They may let you watch if you show an interest in the profession. It's an awesome experience. I worked in a funeral home for 8 years & loved it!

I think the word you're looking for is "necrophilia," but this often has an erotic connotation.  Still, it is an obsessive fascination with dead corpses.

You ask alot of questions regarding things that seem to be pointing to something bigger. However autopsys where I live are not performed out of necessity but by request. Depends on local laws regarding death.

Yes it is, but some cemeteries have rules requiring them.

$6500 dollars is the average cost and that doesnt include the cemetary costs (the opening and closing of the grave), that vary from place to place. so you may have to add $300-$1000 more to that $6500 figure.

Necrosis means dying-dead tissue regardless of whether it is plant of animal, and typically is seen as a darkening of tissue, esp if it is "meat-flesh-muscle-skin"  (Necro means BLACK-dead.) However cells of plants or animals tissues-organs die naturally throughout life when they reach the end of their natural life cycle.  If an animal is single celled and dies,that is its END. \n\nWhen a patch of visible tissue looks dead-dying macroscopically, we call it "necrotic."  Necrosis is common in gangrene, a bacterial infection microscopically, for example. Necrosis may also imply a "spreading" of the diseased-dying tissues amongst the healthy cells which are being OVERTAKEN-PROCESSED by the putrification microscopic organisms of nature, as is common in gangrene of diabetes (or non-diabetes) after neuropathy increases loss of feeling and thus an injured limb has no feeling and the wounds natural healing does not take place and the microbes begin to take advantage and get the upper hand. The high blood sugar makes it ideal for the putrification microbes to grow and prosper and speed the process of "parasitism" of tissues we don't want to die so that it occurs faster than cell multiplication necessary for healing.  Basically if cell death is FASTER than cell mitosis-healing,then we would call that necrosis. It may or not be "rotting" per se.  Rotting is a "slang" non-technical term usually ascribed to meat-foodstuffs putrifying by bacteria-fungus.  It describes the NATURAL microscopic process of putrification by natures laws, but we may not like it or think of it as "good," THE MAJORITY of organisms-cells of this planet are involved with microscopic putrification processes (bacteria and fungia specifically) and it helps to clean up and recycle the micro and macromolecules of all organic material of life so that new-fresh tissues can be made from the old dead stuff.  Without necrosis and putrification the planet would be overrun with piles of garbage! A compost pile is the perfect example of putrification-rotting process that we like and do not associate with disease, but macroscopically the composte pile is not any different from necrotic meat.  Putrid refers to the smell of putrification and is accompanied by specific gaseous by-products these putrification microbes make while they are doing their clean up work.  Warm-humid weather makes the process of putrification-necrosis happen faster.  The tropics are an ideal place for wounds to become necrotic faster, for the body or compost piles to rot faster.  Hot humid days in NY york during a garbage strike are horrible examples too.  As global warming increases it will increase-move the amount of tropical zones on this planet and thus putrification and necrosis "diseases" of plants or animal tissues. The microbes are having a great time and are thriving while we think it is "bad," but we need these processes! BTW, the more preservatives we use in our food, the slower the putrification process becomes. Some say that the natural rottingof human cadaveris slower if the person who owned that vehicle before death ate a lot of preservtives.  Also, some corpses insealed coffins putrify slower than innon-sealed coffins.  Some laws require coffins to be sealed so that the "disease: organisms don't get in the soil and spread. How fast will your body rot after death? Have you eated a lot of preservatives?Will you be buried-cremated? Will the coffin be sealed-unsealed?  Will your body macromolecules be easily recycled back into quickly or more slowly.  If you die in a hot jungle your body may be gone quickly, esp if flesh eating scavengers like beetles get to it before they find your body.\n\nPersonally, I had part of my plantar fascia on the bottom of my rt foot become necrotic after I stepped on a toothpick and they could not find it and get it out after 6 hours in the ER and several xrays, which

Depending on what branch of service the recently deceased is from, usually that is set up by them. If you have to do it yourself get a hold of the persons supervisor or who ever they worked closely with. Also make sure that the will doesnt state not to have a military funeral as it is punishable by law to break the will of a military deseased.

Another way is for the survivors to organize a wake keeping to raise money. Wake keeping or Wake for Christians means to keep vigil over a corpse the night before the burial usually associated with prayers and singing gospel songs. Wake or wake keeping has come to mean for us a way to gather to give our condolences and lend our moral support to the bereaved family. But more so to raise money for the family to make sure that their dead gets a befitting burial and funeral and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Some people here in Southern California often say that when they go home to bury their dead, more is expected of them just for the mere fact that they are from America (ozu dollar, or loosely translated, dollar death), so people are expected and encouraged to try and dig deeper in their pockets so that the family will be able meet that expectation. \n\nAt the wake keepings, family members and other people carry the pictures of the dead person and dance to gospel tunes by their favorite DJs in a party like atmosphere. It is often more like a celebration of the life of the person.

Decomposition if you're lucky. Necrophiliacs if you aren't.

******************\nDONT TRY THIS AT HOME :D\n******************\nAn important man has died and his body needs to be prepared for burial. The process of mummification has two stages. First, the embalming of the body. Then, the wrapping and burial of the body. \n\nFirst, his body is taken to the tent known as 'ibu' or the 'place of purification'. There the embalmers wash his body with good-smelling palm wine and rinse it with water from the Nile.\n\nOne of the embalmer's men makes a cut in the left side of the body and removes many of the internal organs. It is important to remove these because they are the first part of the body to decompose.\n\nThe liver, lungs, stomach and intestines are washed and packed in natron which will dry them out. The heart is not taken out of the body because it is the centre of intelligence and feeling and the man will need it in the afterlife.\n\nA long hook is used to smash the brain and pull it out through the nose.\n\nThe body is now covered and stuffed with natron which will dry it out. All of the fluids, and rags from the embalming process will be saved and buried along with the body.\n\nAfter forty days the body is washed again with water from the Nile. Then it is covered with oils to help the skin stay elastic.\n\nThe dehydrated internal organs are wrapped in linen and returned to the body. The body is stuffed with dry materials such as sawdust, leaves and linen so that it looks lifelike. \n\nFinally the body is covered again with good-smelling oils. It is now ready to be wrapped in linen.\n\nn the past, when the internal organs were removed from a body they were placed in hollow canopic jars.\n\nOver many years the embalming practices changed and embalmers began returning internal organs to bodies after the organs had been dried in natron. However, solid wood or stone canopic jars were still buried with the mummy to symbolically protect the internal organs. \n\nImsety the human-headed god looks after the liver. Hapy the baboon-headed god looks after the lungs. Duamutef the jackal-headed god looks after the stomach. Qebehsenuef the falcon-headed god looks after the intestines.\n\nThe body has been cleaned, dried and rubbed with good-smelling oils. Now it is ready to be wrapped in linen.\n\n***************\nWrapping the mummy\n***************\n\nFirst the head and neck are wrapped with strips of fine linen. Then the fingers and the toes are individually wrapped. \n\nThe arms and legs are wrapped separately. Between the layers of wrapping, the embalmers place amulets to protect the body in its journey through the underworld.\n\nA priest reads spells out loud while the mummy is being wrapped. These spells will help ward off evil spirits and help the deceased make the journey to the afterlife. \n\nThe arms and legs are tied together. A papyrus scroll with spells from the Book of the Dead is placed between the wrapped hands.\n\nMore linen strips are wrapped around the body. At every layer, the bandages are painted with liquid resin that helps to glue the bandages together. \n\nA cloth is wrapped around the body and a picture of the god Osiris is painted on its surface. \n\nFinally, a large cloth is wrapped around the entire mummy. It is attached with strips of linen that run from the top to the bottom of the mummy, and around its middle.\n\nA board of painted wood is placed on top of the mummy before the mummy is lowered into its coffin. The first coffin is then put inside a second coffin. \n\nThe funeral is held for the deceased and his family mourns his death. \n\nA ritual called the 'Opening of the Mouth' is performed, allowing the deceased to eat and drink again.\n\nFinally, the body and its coffins are placed inside a large stone sarcophagus in the tomb. Furniture, clothing, valuable objects, food and drink are arranged in the tomb for the deceased.\n\nNow his body is ready for its journey through the underworld. There his heart will be judged by his good deeds

Because of that human fear of death and dying. Most people seem to think morticians are weird. When working full time as a nurse (Only work part time now) I looked after the dying and naturally did last services, preapring a person for families last good byes in the hospital then of course the mortuary. So i met many people working in mortuaries! Most of them were decent, caring people who looked after someone's mum/dad/chil/grand-mother/grand-father etc! With respect and dignity, and were definitely not weird!

it is a seriuos surgery, and a serious desease which spreads very fast if not treated. whay do you want to do it at home? please be smarter and get professional help.  no surgeon would be able to tell you how to do it by mail or through yahoo answer.\n\nGangrene is the medical term for death of tissue (necrosis) in part of the body. It's a serious condition that requires immediate medical care. There are several types of gangrene. Symptoms depend on the location and cause of the gangrene. A doctor may confirm a diagnosis by signs and symptoms. Additional tests, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT), may be needed to determine the extent of the gangrene. Treatment depends on the underlying cause. But treatment can't revive dead tissue. Surgery or amputation often is needed to remove dead tissue.

I went to a funeral service for a man who was cremated once.  They had the urn on a table with a nice photograph of him with it.  It was a lot like a regular funeral.

Most cemetries do one of three things...\n\n1) Continue the purpetual care of the graves and inter no one else\n2) create Columbariums (for ashes) and stack then\n3) create Crypt's/Mosoleums and again stack them.\n\nMost are just closed down and taken care of by either the city or church they are part of.\n\n+David
