Lawyer and philosopher Jeremy Bentham asked for his body to be preserved, stuffed with hay, and displayed in the University College London. The executor of his will (and his best friend), Dr. Thomas Smith, dissected and stuffed Bentham’s body himself.

Jeremy Bentham’s stuffed body is still on display in London. You can go visit it if you’re feeling particularly morbid.
