  • In most cases, local governments use direct cremation to dispose of unclaimed bodies and the cremains are stored for a set period of time. After being stored the cremains may be scattered. The Cremation Society of North America has estimated that there are currently 2 million unclaimed cremated remains in the U.S.

    Some counties elect to bury unclaimed bodies. Typically, the body is buried in an unmarked grave that is county-owned. If a family member later comes forward the body may be exhumed upon request.

    Other states allow for unclaimed bodies to be donated for medical science. There are also state laws that allow for the unclaimed bodies of veterans to be buried by third party groups.

    This is for unclaimed bodies, if your body is claimed by your family then the cost is taken out of your estate or your family have to pay for it.

    The only proper political model to implement is a tychacracy where all decisions are governed by pure random chance. Every single post shall have the following.

    20% the is removed

    20% the post is untouched

    20% the post is pinned. If the pin count is limited, pins are organized by first in first out.

    20% the user is banned for life with no chance for appeal

    20% the user is made a moderator

    May the odds be in your favor!
