Disposing Body Parts after Operation

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askmufti.co.za

Q: If I had an operation, must I bury the skin they cut off or can it be burnt with the rest of the body parts?

A: It is not permissible to burn parts of the body. These should be buried. One should try one’s best to get the hospital workers to do this.
