It psychologically also gives closure to people. It helps them have something to focus on by washing and dressing the deceased. Research has shown that it helps in the grief process.
Not only that, they pump these patients so full of ativan and opioids, it would be the way I would like to go out with my fave music playing and my family around me.
I have met a cardiologist who has done a number of heart transplants, and he doesn't come across as a very pleasant man at all. His secretary describes him as a brilliant surgeon, but he's not a people person. He prefers his patients anaesthetised.
If Hollie weren't a horrorcow, I would interpret this letter as a dry, but respectful memorandum of a conversation of which a grieving person might easily forget the minutiae. It's the context of her calling it an "exercution" that makes the letter potentially read as harsh to some, IMO.

Also, they seem to love us, which gets me hard.
I have nightmare visions of her attempting cpr on this poor boy
The Trust clearly expects her kick off. I doubt she'll get to the room without passing officers who 'happen' to have business of some sort on the floor. Once the door is closed, she won't know who's outside nearby.
The letter ends with her being very clearly warned that Archie's death will be investigated. I expect that will be the next thing over which she and AA will have a fit.
I'd say they're worried about the money they're wasting. Also. Corpse Germs are getting everywhere.
That doesn't mean they won't do it anyway because there really is no harm that can be committed by doing it for the benefit of the family besides the financial cost.
He's had goodness knows how many bed baths over the last few months. Even if a post mortem is required, washing his body after death isn't going to remove physical evidence of what happened a couple of months ago.
