Oh, for the love of God. She's DEAD. She does not care what is done to her body. Why are her relatives freaking out?

OK, how about we leave your moms dead body in a room full of necrophiliacs. She's dead, right...who cares?

So after you die, you wouldn't mind if the funeral home hired to bury you, sold your body to a dog food company, or to the local archery club for target practice instead? According to you, you are dead, why would you care?

Could be a lot of reasons. Judaism forbids embalming as a desecration of the body. I guess I could understand how someone who was Jewish would have a pretty strong reaction to this.

Religious belief is a powerful force. People believe all sorts of things that might make no sense to someone not of their faith.
