Death signifies the irreversible cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. Following biological death, the handling of the deceased body involves various individuals, including the general public, family members, law enforcement, medical professionals, and mortuary staff. Upholding the decedent's dignity aligns with legal mandates and bioethical imperatives. While India lacks specific legislation for protecting the rights of the deceased, judicial decisions recognize the right to dignity even after death. Medical graduates must adhere to ethical protocols for managing human remains. The study emphasizes the need for respectful handling of cadavers among future medical practitioners.
