I guess I'm lucky everyone in my family is way too unhealthy to have had any viable organs when they died. Anyone who tried to snatch them will not be getting their money's worth.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

We could reduce the carbon footprint of our cats and dogs by feeding them soylent green. It would likely have a greater impact on global warming than getting rid of our SUVs.

Ah, the Diogenes solution. Yes. I am in favor of that. Slap a photo of my carcass on a bag of dog chow and brand-name that shit.

Wow, I'm in the wrong business. What do they value about it, the black market value of the organs or are there just a lot of rich necrophiliacs out there?

That could be true but brings out a very important irony in us.
We go out of our way to preserve animals approaching extinction but are quite willing to blow the world to smithereens for unlrelated issues. We certainly are a weird bunch of chimps with conflicting priorities.

Funny how we're apes and yet so much of our brain is reptilian.

Here in Britain you simply tell the undertakers what you want the vicar to say (or not say) at your funeral.
I think you can even not have a vicar if you don't want one.
You can go a step further and keep the costs way down by arranging to be buried or cremated in a cardboard box like a kentucky fried chicken which is how I'd prefer it for myself.
The vicar will say something over me like "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, cluck-cluck-cluck"..
PS- Would anybody fancy a "space burial" like John Hurt had in 'Alien', wrapped up in a bedsheet and whooshed out of the airlock?
"Anybody wanna say something?" asked Dallas, but nobody did.
If I'd been there I'd have said something like "He was a good kid"..

I believe the lizard is vestigial and will diminish for sure if it doesn't kill us all in the mean time.

I had assumed, for instance, if India needed to nuke Pakistan they would have preselected cow free areas for the detonation beforehand. I'd also assumed if the past administration had ever got very far along in planning a detonation, regardless of the impetus to do so, there would have been an environmental impact statement prepared first.
