I tried to get someone at work interesting in it as well, but I could see the shutters go down when I started talking about what it was about :/
I think it's because the vast majority of people dislike death, and try to avoid any mention of it as much as they can. And I'm sure they especially do not savour thinking about what happens to you when you die, and the icky unglamourous reality of it, let alone what medical science puts cadavers through.
And you're definitely not alone in thinking it's interesting, just for interesting's sake. The various little things that can point out what happened, when and how, fascinating. It's basically a giant and intricate puzzle.
