Absolute nonsense....
A simple Google search reveals:
"Is organ donation permitted in Judaism? Organ donation is giving an organ to help someone who needs a transplant. In principle Judaism sanctions and encourages organ donation in order to save lives (pikuach nefesh)."
"An organ donor can be buried in a Jewish cemetery with any/all traditional funeral and burial rituals, including Tahara (ritual washing)."
"While the Jewish community might still be divided over tattoos, the prohibition against burying a tattooed person in a Jewish cemetery is a myth."
