hm... something to put in a last will maybe?
I want to be folded or put in a pile rather than thrown in a basket? (or other way around for some people)

They won't need to do an autopsy on your corpse, so you'll can keep your organs well tighted inside your body! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

The first human funeral rites were practiced by the first groups of Homo sapiens. Archeologic finds have shown these men were folding the bodies in foetal positions and coloring them with ochre before intering them in pits.
Egyptians were the firsts to embalm their dead people. That practice was sprayed among other Antique nations like the Assyrians, Jewish, Persians and Scythes. Their methods were to take off the brain and organs, and to fill the body cavities with aromatic herbs and balsamic substances. Some cultures were also using salt, honey, wax, oils and spices. Alexandre le Grand was embalmed with honey and wax.
Egiptians were the experts of embalming: on mummies “unwrapped” 3000 years later, feets are often still flexible and elastic. Historians think that when they stopped to embalm people on a such way, around the VIIIth century, Egyptian had already buried 730 millions mummies. Although a lot were destructed or found, archeologists estimate there are still several millions of presrved mummies left to discover on unfound funeral sites.
After “somebody” dies, his organs die at different times. Brain cells only survive 5 minutes to the “sommatic death”; heart cells 15 minutes, and liver cells near 30 minutes.
