you could try googling humidermy
Traditional taxidermy techniques don't work very well on humans (the skin goes very leathery; in other mammals this is hidden by their fur, apparently). Perhaps you are thinking of "plastination", as seen in the "Body Worlds" museums?
I get the impression its not legal.
On a different note...while googling, I came across the work of a figurative artist...Joseph Seiganthaler. VERY realistic, and a bit creepy.

EEK !
YEUK!!!
Reminds me of the old rugby song

My old man's a taxidermist
And a fine taxidermist is he
All day long he stuffs animals
And then he comes home and stuffs me.
I am unsure if taxidermy has been applied to (human) cadavers but embalming is well known although mostly limited to heads of state, revolutionary leaders, etc. - maybe that is what your son really has in mind ?
