I've been an organ donor for as long as I can remember. never thought much about donating my body to science. Science is welcome to any part of me they want after I die.

Donating your body to science is a personal choice. When you pass, the parts of your body that are not used for medical research or education are typically cremated respectfully. The ashes may be returned to your family if requested.
