[Jesse-N30800]

I don’t know about a three-day limit, but Judaism does require a quick burial, quicker than is common for others. Much of the reason is for health and cleanliness. The laws originated at a time when keeping a corpse around was inherently unsanitary. There are also a lot of spiritual reasons, but I’m not really competent to go into it. I don’t know about the autopsy and organ donation. Bodies are, I’m pretty sure, not embalmed. Active measures of euthanasia are prohibited, but it is permissible to withhold some forms of treatment. The body is not viewed, and the casket is typically very plain, unfinished wood. There is a custom of placing small rocks on a gravesite when you visit it instead of flowers. This stems from an arid climate where flowers are not available.
