I have never heard of anyone who dies alone being shipped off to a lab. If an autopsy is performed that is usually to determine cause of death if foul play is suspected. Otherwise, it is not in the best interest of the tax payers money. They will be given a burial, plain and simple. If there is no one who cares for that person/those people, that is just a fact of life, albeit a sad fact. But, it is what it is.

About a year ago I heard those places that do research already have enough donated corpses for their research studies. When a person is a pauper and family can't be located they are buried at the city's "pauper's field", it's a cemetery. Occasionally and in some cities like ours, there is an organization who has volunteers who go to the burial of a pauper and they say a few prayers for the deceased when they have no family. Let's put it this way, if people had enough money or the desire that they wanted to have a national monument to anyone giving their bodies to science they would have arleady done it. People who give body parts for someone else to survive usually get a write-up in the nespaper or are somehow noticed by the public.
People who give their bodies to science do so in their will. After giving it some thought, you might just have an idea there.

Believe it or not even a corpse has rights in law. It could not legally be used for research unless it could be proved that the person when alive wished this. Whether or not this is always honoured is another matter. As to the monument I think possibly they should. After all they have forgone the traditional memorial that most people have in the hope that they can make some contribution or difference.

They get a paupers funeral, and those who offered their bodies to science normally get their wish. I think there is an international monument to people who give their bodies to science, but a day of rememberance is a bit over the top. A day of rememberance is to celebrate the people who fought for us in wars and for people who died in national disasters, such as 9/11 or 7/7.

Depends upon which country and state the body is in, in the UK the council arrange disposal (usually cremation) if they cannot trace family or no money available for funeral and the ashes to be disposed of, if the person has requested for their body to be used for research purposes, after the body is of no longer use to them then the body is cremated. Yes it would be nice for some sort of remembrance for these people who do donate their bodies for science, as they are a great help to the medical world.

I have to assume that you mean in the U.K.
When somebody dies, rich or poor, they are entitled to a burial allowance. This is not very big, but does enable them to be buried with dignity.
They are not allowed to be used for research, or any other purpose, without prior written permission.
If you are really interested, you could ask your question on the
"Help the Aged" web site.
I like your feelings but doubt if a day of remembrance, or a monument, are feasible, in the materialistic world we live in.

I don't know for sure, but I think that depending on which country you live, you may get a pauper's funeral.
As for being used in research, I do not know.
For your other questions, yes there should be a monument or a day of remembrance.

The Government have to pay for the funeral by law.A corpse cannot be used for scientific purposes unless there is prior written permission.If the body is unclaimed then this will not be allowed.

I thought they got a council cremation and put into a part of the cemetry especially for 'unnamed' people. Its very sad that people can die and not have anyone to bury them with some respect and dignity.
