Lav's are a no no for my airline as very hard sometimes to then get the deceased out ( a passenger was found dead in one in 90's from an OD, took several hours to get body out , lavatory had to be dismantled!) also you should try moving a dead (weight) body within the confines of an aeroplane nigh on impossible, we just try & make it secure & out of sight of others, but there is no perfect solution as every DoB is different., we just try & show some compassion & respect for the deceased & any travelling companions.
