This is for a research paper that I need to write next week. I need to find out what that organization's name is, how much each skeleton cost & how many skeletons they sell, on average, each year. Please help me out! Thanks!!

I currently carry out bone research. I get my samples by setting up collaborations with researchers at hospitals. This is the most common way that bone is obtained for research uses. In some cases institutions will "bank" tissue samples which can then be purchased by researchers (i.e Asterand).
Human bones are also available from commercial tissue banks of which there are a great many in the US alone (see the american association of tissue banks) for a list of registered tissue banks. These usually supply tissues for transplantation, but will also work with researchers.

Honestly, I think it's China. I'm not 100% sure, but it's worth you looking into. Something to do with overpopulation of gravesites. A lot of bones, etc for schools are now plastic. Much more humane.

Maybe Service Corp. International.
