Cheapest funeral - disposal

The medical school I work in certainly still teaches anatomy in dissection classes to medical students (an intake of ~450 students a year).
Medical schools like bodies from their local area as far as I know, so the Medical School at King's College (sites at Guy's, St Thomas and Denmark Hill) would be just right?

I contacted the body donor place and they sent me forms. I have blogged about this (makesyousick.blogspot.com - forgotten appointments and spare bodies), and decided that letting my family organise a funeral/bin bag/whatever would be much easier. There are many reasons why a body would not be accepted; also if you die on a bank holiday they can't collect so won't accept the body. Even if they do, they may reject it as unsuitable after they examine it. I think this might prove a bit upsetting by the family. Though it could prove a source of amusement that you could not even give your body away.

The body of a middle-aged man arrives at the mortuary. As is normal practice among the female staff, they have a peep at his 'you-know-what.' They both gasp and simultaneously agree that they'd never seen one quite as big. They decide that they will get old Jim, who had worked there for fifty years and was about to retire, to have a look and say whether he'd ever seen one like it.
"I've got one just like that," says Jim.
"What?" said the women. "You've got one as big as that?"
"No," says Jim. "Not as big, but just as dead."

Very interested in what you say Katia, and I'll store that information. Otherwise best solution seems to be to stay alive.
