I can think of a few who need to be made "involuntary organ doners"

Neither. I plan to be entombed within a giant statue of myself, with enormous gilded gentials.

I made arrangements to have my body cremated and buried in the forest behind my house. My family's burial plot is in a big Catholic cemetery, and there's no way I want to be buried there. I told my brother he could have my grave.

Does he need two?
His grave would have to be located outside the family plot, which was full up after Dad died.
