I can speak from experience. My father made arrangements to have his body donated to the medical school of a prominent Catholic university. While there, it was treated with the utmost respect, and when the courses were done, his body and all the others were given Christian burial in a common plot nearby. If you are pondering the question from a personal angle, I hope this comforts you. There is absolutely no disrespect or abuse. God bless.

a lot of tissues ,corneas ,bone grafts and anything that doesn't reguire life sustaining.support are harvested for the donor program and thereafter the remains are usually cremated. Vital organs such as the heart, kidneys,lungs, liver are all harvested while the donor is on mechanical life support system for proper blood circulation and oxygenation.

They are usually cremated and their ashes put in an urn and given to the family when all the testing is done.
My Aunt did this.

They feed it to the zombies so that they don't want to eat living humans during their walks.
