Personally I don't see why people make such a hullabaloo out of donating about. Once you're gone, the body no longer needs those parts. I can't think of any modern religion -- tho I'm sure someone can remind me -- that requires burial with all parts intact in order to pass through to the next level.
It should be such a simple matter, think about it. If everyone who could donate did donate, we wouldn't have 3 year waits and near impossible matches on some blood types.
I'm a donor, have been since I was 16. And if something, God forbid, ever happened to my son, I would have no qualms about donating his organs if it would save another childs life.
