I'd like to know by what stretch of judicial authority GRReer had the right to order what the disposition of Terri's wounded body would be ... where did he get that power?? Did he invent this authority that stretched beyond his barbaric death sentence or do judges normally presume to order a family how to handle the remains?

Just guessing, but I believe Michael wanted to cremate her and the family did not. Greer just ruled for Michael which sounds like an order. Legal guardian has custody of where remains go, within law.

I believe Michael wanted the cremation because he didn't know the ME would do an autopsy. It'll be interesting to see what his findings will be. The ME didn't have to do an autopsy but he chose to do it and then Felos gets on T.V. and says it was Michael's idea. The ME appears to have went against Greer and Michael on this...anyone else find this unusual?
