When you die do you keep your organs or have them removed?

Organs are typically left in place, unless the person is an organ donor. If an organ donor, machines will keep circulating blood through the body until the body is taken to a surgical suite where surgeons remove only the organs or skin that is usable, including corneas (outer film over eyeball).

Organs receive embalming fluids as it courses through the body. Therefore, organs do not decay or decompose like they would in a body left without embalming fluids.
