Skeletons in the family closet?

My great great grandfather set the legal precedent for ownership of human corpses in Australia.

He had a carnival sideshow that displayed a two headed foetus in a jar. The police confiscated it for reasons of public indecency, but eventually the high court of Australia ordered it returned to him, and to this day that case is cited when ownership of corpses is in question.
