She anticipates the process will involve smothering corpses in gelatin, which provides the "start-up ingredients for growth", then putting the body in a fitted organic cotton suit — above ground, but covered.
I fully acknowledge that this requires a cultural shift towards an acceptance of death and decomposition. It's not yet available to the public, but one day families might be able to tick the "promession" box on funeral forms.

Promession also prevents the leaching of chemicals into the ground and water sources. If you're passionate about preserving the environment for your grandkids, request an eco burial.
But you can't just conduct an eco burial wherever you see fit — McKeig says there are only designated areas approved by local government. However, McKeig says cremation remains the most environmentally friendly way to dispose of a body. The brainchild of German anatomist Gunther von Hagens, the exhibit features humans who have undergone "plastination" — which basically replaces water and fats from tissues with silicone rubber, to leave them looking quite lifelike, but without skin.
Scientists then manipulate the body into the desired shape using wires, needles and clamps and leave it to harden. If you like the idea of having your body immortalised for the world to see, you'll need to register with the Institute for Plastination in Germany.
They currently have more than 12, living donors who have registered all over the world — if they were interested in your body, you'd probably have to be transferred to Germany to undergo the process. If being cremated gives you heebie jeebies, consider aquamation, which proponents claim will be available in Australia from late June.

A taxidermist would not do it since there is a lot of red tape involved with handling deceased humans and their organs. Most taxidermists won't even work on family pets; difficult to do right and they basically become grief counselors for the customers.
Maybe if the person donated their body to science and requested attempting it, but like I said, it seems to be too difficult and more trouble than anything else. That is more for a mortician or funerary lawyer, as it involves some legal issues that I'm not an expert on since taxidermists work only with animals, not humans. I know that there are some places in the world where human remains are regarded as sacred and kept around the house or cathedral for a long time!
This is not permitted in the United States and I know of no one taxidermied though it is an interesting idea now that "extreme" embalming with people embalmed on their motorcycles, etc. Not that we would turn them away.
