I think EPS was being facetious.
There is no "being" under a tombstone ... only a rotting, watersoaked, maggot ridden, decomposing corpse.
Incineration is cleaner alternative, perhaps.
I think it is quite sound thinking by these people, while alive and contemplating the future existence of their bodies, to consent to the "preservation" of their body parts for such an educational exhibit.
After living organ donation, and gifting of body parts for anatomical research, a donation of a corpse to an educational exhibit is just another way of making a contribution to humanity.
It's not for everybody, but there is nothing wrong with their choice.
