Who really owns you?

Everyone lives their lives thinking they are in control, they have the right to do this and that, privacy etc. but when you die it turns into something else. All those rights go away. The government grabs your body, whisks it off to be embalmed, autopsied, documented and stored in a freezer somewhere.
Are they checking for alien incursion? They need to validate you are human and not a vampire, or maybe you have two hearts or 3 lungs or something.
Can you not wear a bracelet that says "no embalming" or something? Can't you be burned with your own blood?
Why does some random guy get to cut you open, dig out your kidneys and liver and then your heart and examine it?
Isn't that against some religious passage?
"Though shalt not chop open random corpses to check for two hearts, nor shalt they replace blood with some other horrible thing. Thine corps shalt be preserved until it turns to dust in some fashion ort another."

Not every dead body goes through autopsy.

@Fertilization That's true but it's surprising common; at least it was a surprise to me when I looked it just now. In Norway and the US 8% of bodies are autopsied, in the UK it's almost 16% (nearly one in six!).

I don't know how reliable the data is, it says that the rate in Russia is 70%.
