Sikh usually prefers to be cremated but gurmat says it makes no difference if the body is cremated or buried or put in the river or given to the birds
Different regions have their own traditions of disposing the dead body.
However according to Gurmat there is no such condition.
It all depends upon the situation, so one can follow depending upon his will for the proper disposal.
There is no restriction of donating any organ or even full body can be given for research purpose.
