Answer 1

You might not want to know, especially what the coroner does. I'll try to find something for you though.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funeral_home

This one tells alot about it, there are different links on the left side of the page for autopsies and such.
http://www.deathonline.net/what_happens/body/preparing.cfm
At the bottom of the page is 7 morticians and the different ways they prepare bodies, just click on their picture and it'll tell you how they go about it.

Answer 2

Look, leave this research alone at this time of mourning, unless your Grandma is not being embalmed.
I want to either be cremated or buried in a plain wood box directly in the ground without embalming.
But be assured, funeral directors treat bodies with care and respect.
Remember Grandma as she lived and loved.
