The funeral director.
Funeral Director
Hello. Bascially a funeral director prepares the body for burial. This can include embalming or cremation. They dress the body, prepare make-up and hair so the body will appropriate for viewing if desired by the family.
Firstly, speak or write to the funeral director concerned and inform them you are not happy and what you would like to see happen to resolve your complaint. If you get nowhere, then check to see if the funeral director is a member of the trade body that represents funeral directors and contact them and take up your complaint with them. Failing this, take advice from a consumers association or a solicitor. The last thing a funeral director would want is any complaints being made public, so they should readily resolve your complaint with them.
They are called, Undertaker, Funeral Director, or Mortician. It can also be that a Coroner would transport the body to the funeral home.
A mortitionist is a person that prepares a dead person for there funeral/burial E.g. Is a person got killed in a car crash, a mortitionist would sew there body and paint the persons body how he/she would look when he/she was in the present.

By the time the body gets to the funeral home too much time will have passed for the organs to be of any value. Even if they were, it would not be worth the risk of adverse publicity for the funeral director to consider harvesting them.
This job is meant for someone who can show empathy, as well as sympathy, to the people they serve. The ones they come in contact with have recently lost a loved one in their family, so the funeral director needs to provide comfort in a time of need. This is not all the funeral director does, and for the rest, the person needs to have a strong will. One of the things that a funeral director may have to do in times of need is the embalming of the deceased. This job is not for those with a light stomach, and you must love what you do in your daily work. Embalming someone is when you remove all of the fluids in the body and then replace them with a special fluid called formaldehyde. It is a process that needs to be done before the viewing of the body. The funeral director may also have to style the hair and makeup on the body before the funeral. Someone who is in this line of work needs to be able to detach themselves from how they feel about death, and realize that there are people who need them to make their loved one look alive. Another job the funeral director has is helping families purchase a casket. Some people want to purchase their funeral packages before they pass away so their family does not have to deal with the burden. The director will show them what casket would best suit their size as well as price range. They will also show the person flowers that can be orders as well as how much it will be to hold the funeral at a church versus the funeral home. A funeral director will also greet family members on the night of the visitation before the funeral. They will stay at the guest register while visitors sign in when they arrive. The funeral director will go to the funeral and help to arrange the flowers and the casket before the family arrives.
Depends whose body it is. If you do it through a funeral director or similar and get the body laid to rest, then there's no problem.
Where is the Body? let us get down to basics, no bones about it!
A funeral director basically takes care of the funeral in regard to the family's wishes. The tasks include preparing the body for viewing and burial, scheduling the funeral and viewing and communicating with other parties, such as the cemetery, flower companies, honor guards, life insurance companies, death certificate providers, etc. and mourners who need information about the funeral. We strive to take the burden of dealing with the details off of the bereaving family.
Social and religious rules mean that a funeral and disposal of a dead body is mandatory. Historically, not everybody could afford a funeral, so there was the most basic where the body would be placed in a sack and then given a religious ceremony. The coffin would be opened, body in sack removed, and re-used. The body would be dumped, and buried with other unfortunates later on.
