Good Corpse Storey---More bodies go unclaimed as families can't afford funeral costs

More bodies go unclaimed as families can't afford funeral costs
Rest in peace. These words are a common theme at funerals honoring loved ones. But many people die with no one claiming their bodies. For example, at hospitals there are unclaimed bodies of patients and the unborn. Corpses are found abandoned often in police cases. Mortal remains can go unclaimed due to insufficient funds for burial or cremation, insufficient concern for the deceased, and lack of available or known family and friends. These bodies end up at the morgue. The morgue handles their disposal, which is paid for by the state or county.
