When I was a kid, there was a company that sold a kit for almost anything you wanted to make. I think that would be a great idea for our hospital population as well.

Do It At Home Autopsy Kit

Each night and day
Around the clocks,
We prepare them for
The plain pine box,
We pull the tubes
And cleanse the skin,
There's a zippered bag
We put them in.

Now if you're wondering
How Grandpa died,
You can take him home
And have a look inside,
We'll pay the taxi
Right to your door,
And as a bonus
There's one thing more,
We put a gift in his bag
It was easy to fit,
The "Do It At Home"
Autopsy kit.

Then it's time for twenty questions
Can you venture what disease,
Laid asunder poor old Grandpa
I think it started with a sneeze,
And included with your instructions
Are some recipes (Their winners!),
Just save your favorite body parts
They'll make a lot of dinners,
And when it's time to ditch the leftovers
You can call us at the station,
We'll send you our most popular kit
For do it at home cremation.
