You might find some information on this site. I really don't think that you have much say in the matter both before your death, and ,obviously, after.

No, I think it's only if you die a suspicious death.
When my aunt died, she had an autopsy because she was in good health and died suddenly whilst watching tv.
no, yu cant say you dont want a postmortem because in some cases it is required by law (ie for unexpected deaths, maternal deaths and deaths that occur within a certain period after surgery)
if the death is expected and 2 doctors can sign the death certificate then no postmortem is required
No you cannot stop it happening -I think they are usually carried out if a GP hasn't seen the patient within the last fourteen days for an illness or obviously if there is something suspicious.
