Dead people go to the morgue and then are either cremated or embalmed and buried.
First he is embalmed. Then he placed in a casket and family and friends go to see him at a viewing. Finally he is buried.
Never. Embalming involves the use of chemicals to preserve the body and to disinfect it so that family members and friends who view the body will not be contaminated with pathogens that make them sick or even die of what the decedent died of.
More than likely he was not cremated. Now even though cremation was the Roman custom of burial at the time of Antony's death, Antony requested that he be buried in Egypt and the Egyptian custom of burial was mummification and interment. If they ever find his and Cleopatra's tomb, we will know for sure.
No. According to the Old Testament accounts, Joseph had placed the children of Israel under oath not to bury him in Egypt (Genesis 50:24, 25; Exodus 13:19), so his body was embalmed and placed in a coffin when he died (Genesis 50:26).His body was ultimately buried in a plot of land in Shechem which his father Jacob had purchased long before (Joshua 24:32; Genesis 33:18, 19).

Yes, when a person infected with MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is cremated, the high temperatures during the cremation process effectively kill the bacteria. The intense heat reaches levels that destroy microorganisms, including MRSA. Therefore, there is no risk of transmission or infection from the cremated remains.
No, the cremated remains of a person, their ashes, do not change over time. The ashes are what is left of the crushed bones and will remain as that.

The process of an embalmed body turning into a skeleton can vary significantly based on several factors, including the embalming techniques used, environmental conditions, and whether the body is buried or cremated. Generally, it can take anywhere from several months to a few years for an embalmed body to decompose to the point of becoming a skeleton. In favorable conditions, complete skeletonization may occur within 5 to 10 years. However, embalming slows down decomposition, prolonging the time it takes for the body to fully skeletonize.
It depends on your local ordinances. Then again, you could donate to you local medical college. They will (Despite the rumors otherwise) treat your remains with the utmost respect. If you wish to be buried unembalmed, you will need to make this clear to those who are likely to deal with your funeral arrangements, as this can make it necessary to have the funeral relatively quickly, (within a few days), and mean that your body is not able to "lie in state" or for viewing for more than about half a day, depending on the temperature.
