Decomposition of Bodies

I did the online activity that shows you how an autopsy is done. After I completed the activity, the website suggested another site I could go to. This site talks about what happens to your body after you die (including larva and what happens to fat cells), it also talks about the morgues, autopsies, and how long decomposition actually takes. The site is very informative and educational, although slightly disturbing because it's very apathetic to the issue of death. I looked for 30 minutes on this site and never got bored, it's extremely entertaining. The fact I found to be most interesting was the legal issues dealing with bodies. I didn't know that you actually HAD to have a casket for the body (unless of course the person is cremated). Also, the morgue or funeral director can only hold a body for 7 days (it makes sense because after that the body would start majorly decomposing). I highly suggest you all check out this site!
