All of the answers are correct; however, when a body is donated to research, that is not disposing of the body. After all possible research has been done on the body, the University/etc., still have to dispose of the body parts which are kept together until the entire research work has been completed.
Once the research is done, the next of kin, if available are contacted to inform them that the remains will be cremated. After the cremation, the family is once again notified so that they pick up the remains if they choose; or they will be buried in a mass plot reserved for donated bodies.
By the way, if you decide to donate a loved one to scientific/medial research, it can take up to two years for the completion of work.

1. Burial
2. Creamation
3. Research
4. Cryogenitics (being frozen so that some day a cure may be found and you will be resusitated)
5. Launched into space
There are others, of course...
