Not Your Grandmom’s Funeral A growing number of people are specifying the kind of funeral they would like held when they die, and many are choosing nontraditional ways to mark the departure of their loved ones. The funeral industry has responded to this trend by offering a wider range of services. The high cost of traditional funerals and the shortage of cemetery space are two factors behind the phenomenon. Another, more personal reason is the longer life expectancy; people can now expect to live to around 80, and death is increasingly viewed not as an end of life but as the final part of it.

Next the eye caps are inserted under the eyelids, this is to keep the eyes closed and from sinking. Now you are ready to close the mouth which can be quite tricky sometimes, if all goes well and the jaw bones are still strong then a tack is put in the top of the mouth and one in the bottom and then tied together.

Gaylin then argues that the more controversial uses, banking and harvesting, will fix current problems of organ donation. There is a short period of time in which an organ is available for harvesting and transplant after the donor is dead. Having a stock of vital organ donors would erase the time restrictions. There is also such a supply shortage, especially of vital organs, that banking would be hard to turn down with 10,000 people dying per year while waiting for organs (Munson,2008,463). Gaylin is justified in predicting that the wholesale salvage of useful body parts is not without

This definition is said to be inappropriate due to the development of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation procedures, which sometimes may be able to restart heartbeat and breathing. Consequently, the concept of ‘brain death’ was introduced, which is defined as the cessation of brain activity and is irreversible. However, the determination of brain death requires the use sophisticated medical instruments. In a death scene, forensic investigators will not have access to these instruments, so they will have to rely on the signs of cessation of heartbeat or breathing and signs of death such as muscle rigidity to pronounce a person as dead even though there might still be continued lower brain stem activity (Smart & Kaliszan, 2012). Hence, the terms ‘time of death’ or ‘death time’ in this study refers to the time when the victim’s heartbeat and breathing
