Answers:
It may depend.
Autopsies are primarily used as a tool to determine lead to of death, time of death and any other unusual circumstances.
If the cause is contained by question, then yes, the organs will be removed and weighed. Enlarged heart can explain heart attacks, for example. Also, they may need to take samples of sure organs to check for toxins, poisons or even natural substances that are abnormally built up. They may also need to get something done a manual examination of the organ and the only route to do that is to be able to turn it over and see all sides.
The organs are returned to the body and, eventually the family circle.
If the death is expected and cause clear (someone suffering from cancer or advanced heart disease) and there is no suspicion of foul play, it is possible for a doctor to sign a loss certificate and have the coroner feel that no autopsy is basic.
Sorry to feed into your disgust. It is a fact of life.
