Reply #58: I have a friend from SLC, Utah...

We became friends at a Jesuit boarding school we both got sent to in our turbulent teens. I have a Jewish last name, although I am not "officially" Jewish since my mom isn't Jewish. He told me that the Mormons (with their vast geneology databases) perform some kind of prayer/rite if you die and aren't a member of some religion. So, even though he wasn't religious, he got baptized while we were there just so the LDS people couldn't do this after he died. People actually do care if they get some kinf of uninvited and unwelcome religious rite performed on their corpse. It's not their usiness to be doing this unless a family member or member of their religious congregation requests it. So if you're dead, would you care if someone took an uninvited shit on your corpse? It's disrespectful.
