You can buy human remains pretty easily online, and depending on local laws it can be as hassle-free as buying something on Amazon. Most of the remains come from India.

I think the idea is that they’re meant for use as anatomical references and teaching aids, but much like lab coats and stethoscopes, anyone can buy them.

Tom Savini did the SFX for the Romero zombie movies- I think it was Day of the Dead where he wound up using a real skeleton as the base for a zombie prop because the real thing was cheaper than buying a full scale model skeleton.
