Default Post mortem research?

I apologize if this is a morbid question, but my 56 yr old husband has PN to the point where he is blind and bedridden (hopefully not forever), in constant pain, despite (or because of?) at least 27 meds/supplements. At one point they told me I'd never get him home, but thanks to our 'Star Plus' program, I have him home with 50 hours a week of attendant care. I checked him into a nursing home for Respite Care (after 2 years of non-stop caregiving and bedside vigils) and they asked which funeral home I'd want him sent to (a standard question). I was told if I wanted his body 'donated to science' I had to have that pre-arranged. So, what I'm asking is, 'How do I find out if there is an institution interested in doing an autopsy to learn more about PN?' We live near Austin, TX.
