This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Pretty sure this is legal, they just wouldn't release an unembalmed corpse for health reasons.

Wouldn't OP just have to find a qualified mortician willing to do the work?

You can absolutely get the corpse unembalmed but you won't find any mortician willing to do this. You can do it yourself with a ton of Dermestid beetles, though, but it's gonna smell awful.

There's gotta be a service that does this, though.

With some searching around, I found this place in Oklahoma: https://skullcleaning.com/

They mainly deal with hunting trophies but their price list covers almost every vertebrate animal you could think of: https://skullcleaning.com/services/skull-cleaning-pricelist/

"Human" is conspicuously absent, of course, but then you go to the "Skeletal Articulation" page and the first photo is of a fucking Centaur lmfao: https://skullcleaning.com/services/skeleton-articulation/

I feel like if you called up and asked, you at leastwouldn't get a hard "no". I'd bet good money that they've done work on human cadavers before.

I love the suspicious amount of research you put into this

What can I say, it nerd-sniped me.

Human remains will only be accepted from bona-fide educational facilities. Contact us for more details.

Likely an explicit no. :(
