The dead may be cremated or buried, or thrown to the dogs, or cast into the waters or down an empty well. No one knows where the soul merges and goes. (Guru Amar Das, AG 648)

Once someone has died the body is merely like the discarded skin of a lizard or some other animal that leaves it behind when it is outgrown. The soul or spirit has no more use for it, so it can be used for transplants or research. In practice, of course, many Sikhs would not like to think of the body of their loved ones being treated in this way, so they are only slowly accepting the idea of donating parts of the body.
