"There is nothing in the Teachings against leaving our bodies to Medical
Science. The only thing we should stipulate is that we do not wish to be
cremated, as it is against Baha'i Law."
"As many people make arrangements to leave their bodies to Medical Science
for investigation, he suggests that you inquire, either through some
lawyer friend or through some hospital, how you could do this and then
make the necessary provision in your will, stipulating that you wish your
body to be of service to mankind in death, and that, being a Baha'i, you
request that your remains not be cremated and not be taken more than an
hour's journey from the place you die."
"The spirit has no more connection with the body after it departs, but as
the body was once the temple of the spirit, we Baha'is are taught that it
must be treated with respect."
