From a conservative Christian perspective: Christians are warned to disallow non-Christians from praying over us (especially laying hands on us) because of the potential doors we will be opening. However, if someone is praying over our dead bodies - since bodies left on earth are basically just sacks of flesh - it really doesn't matter.

On the other hand, we would need to consider the impact on the living. I would NOT want a future member of my family coming across my name and believing that I was LDS. If that family member were seeking God (meaning, a non-Christian trying to find truth) seeing my name on any LDS paperwork could cause her/him to begin looking into Mormonism. What would be even worse is if the enemy (yes, Satan) already had a stronghold in that person's life.

Conclusion: Because it has a possible negative spiritual outcome, I would be very unhappy if I found it had happened to me.
