Today, all causes for sainthood must be investigated by the Sacred Congregation for the Causes of Saints in the Vatican. They may recommend to the pope that a case be approved for sainthood. The pope, alone, then makes the decision. Prior to the existence of the Sacred Congregation any bishop could declare a saint, usually at the urging of a parish, diocese or religious order. This came to an end in the 12th century. Those declared a saint in these early years are called precongregational saints

Well, honey, St. Michael didn't exactly die like your average Joe. He's an archangel, not some mortal schmuck. According to the Bible, he had a little tiff with Lucifer, kicked his sorry butt out of heaven, and that's pretty much the end of it. So, no funeral arrangements needed for the big guy.

Miracles were not required for declaring a person a saint in the early years of Christianity. The person would have been declared a saint by popular acclamation to a bishop based on the lives and merits of the candidate. This was especially true if the person died the death of a martyr as it was felt that making this ultimate sacrifice for Our Lord would be an automatic designation of that person as a saint. Even today, miracles are not always a requirement for canonization, especially in the case of martyrs

From the Patron Saints Index
There is no official patron saint of chiropractors but there are a number of patron saints of physicians:
Cosmas
Damian
Joseph Moscati
Luke the Evangelist
Pantaleon
Raphael the Archangel

If Our Lord worked any miracles through the intercession of St. Augustine, there is no record of them. St. Augustine was proclaimed a saint long before the official canonization process was instituted so miracles would have played no part in his sainthood declaration.

The patron saint of elevators is St. Teresa of Avila. She is also known as the patron saint of headaches, bodily ills, and people in need of grace.

Her association with elevators comes from a metaphor she used to explain the different stages of spiritual growth, comparing them to rooms in a castle that one ascends through like riding in an elevator.

Victoria, a Christian maiden from Tivoli, near Rome, had been engaged to marry the pagan Roman nobleman Eugenius when she was called upon to intervene on behalf of her fiancé's friend, Titus Aurelius. The latter wanted to marry another Christian girl, (Saint) Anatolia, but the young woman had adamantly refused. Victoria thereupon attempted to change Anatolia's mind by pointing out to her the good of marriage as a vocation, adding that she might win Aurelius' conversion. Anatolia responded that she had experienced a vision regarding her vocation in which she had been told, "Virginity is an immense treasure of the King of kings." Anatolia's defense of the spiritual advantages of consecrated virginity in the end persuaded Victoria to break her own engagement and consecrate herself to God as well. Both girls incurred the wrath of the men who had wanted to marry them. Eugenius imprisoned Victoria in his villa and attempted to starve her into submission, but finding her unyielding, he delivered her to the Roman officials to be beheaded for her faith. Imprisoned by Aurelius, Anatolia suffered a similar fate.
