Hi,

My father in law has been mentioning that when he passes he will be leaving his remains to medical research. Now I'm not sure what they will use him for, he's short, round, had 2 heart attacks and diabetic. I've not seen any paperwork or will, he's a bloody nightmare for admin etc. So my question is, what happens when he pops off?

Cheers guys,

I think he's intent is noble, it's just the real reason is he is skint and there is no way he has anything put aside for the funeral. My real issue is the lack of closure for the family, my wife isn't happy with how he is telling everyone about it etc, the mother in law has even told my 8 year old niece ffs, which caused upset as you can imagine

I'll have to sit him down for a chat, which is gonna be fun. I really don't think he's thought it through or done anything

I know someone who always said they would do it and ended up cremated, I don't think there is a huge demand relative tot he number of people wanting to avoid four grands worth of funeral
He's broke, never had 2 pennies to rub together. I've bailed him out that many times.
