In a solemn moment of quiet anticipation, a bereaved family finally receives the ashes of their loved one in a specially selected urn. Friends and relatives gather around and offer condolences, amidst controlled sobs that would express the painful loss of someone who has been a part of their lives. The struggle to be lucid and emotionally balanced is difficult to achieve, and the realization of the need to move on has not settled in the minds of the bereaved as yet. The immediate family is in a subconscious state of mourning and weeping at the demise of the deceased. Holding the urn close to their hearts and caressing it to simulate touching the departed eases the ache they feel so deeply. The only problem is, it is not their loved one's ashes, or not all of it; but they don't know it yet. 
A thriving business has emerged, driven by market forces of supply and demand that parallels taking specially packed choice cuts of chicken in a supermarket; but this time, the choice cuts are body parts. Carefully wrapped and preserved in freezers are several heads, torsos, legs, arms, or whole bodies. The demand from research organizations, medical schools, and other like institutions has made it a lucrative enterprise. The UK, seeking to expose their medical students and surgeons to human tissue before licensing, has joined its American counterparts in working with cadavers, which has increased orders beyond what providers can sell or supply.
The demand-supply gap has expanded the trade into a whole new industry that makes a living off the dead. It has also spawned black marketing in body parts where funeral homes and crematoriums are syndicated to stabilize supply; with the expectation of making a killing from these dead bodies. Rather than cremate the body, ashes are scraped from the bottom of the ovens or elsewhere, placed in the urn, and very consolingly offered to the relatives, while the real body is being disarticulated (chopped -up), wrapped and preserved for waiting high paying customers. A macabre and morbid discovery in California is a small tip on the iceberg of a potentially widespread ghoulish enterprise.
It is illegal to buy and sell human bodies, but due to the difficult nature of detecting this crime, fortunes are made by those who have lost feelings of shame, remorse, or horror at the way food is made available in their household tables. A science outfit, Anatomy Gifts Registry is one of the few who are on the legitimate side of the body supply business. This company "persuades" the dying to donate their bodies for scientific study. In return, they pay for all expenses, and costs of cutting this down to manageable study sizes. They claim that people's desire to help creates an altruistic motivation to donate. However, this may not always be the case since the lure of picking up expense costs of the patient may be the real motivation to sacrifice one's body for mutilation without burial, to alleviate the surviving relatives from paying huge hospital and medical bills.
The legal method is still a trade made legitimate by a consent to donate, but could be tied down to their inability to afford hospital expenses. Altruism is the facade for this choice. In the case of syndicates in funeral homes, it is thievery of the most contemptuous and heartless nature done only by the lowest form of maggots who feast on the remains of unfortunate humans. Saving more lives using dead ones has always been a process people choose to ignore, but trading in it as a business or industry for profit should engender karmic repercussions of the deadliest variety.
