Wow, thanks for info

"...Typically after examination or autopsy, bodies remain at the office for a few days until funeral directors pick them up for burial or cremation..."

I volunteer my walk-in restaurant grade freezer as the temporary holding place... Fit young guys only, PLEASE...

Yes, looking like a freezer from a restaurant.

They should dispose of the bodies with a large field grave - no coffins needed - presto - empty morgue

What about cremation? Isn't that cheaper than burial? Any update to this story?

 

[feetboy]

it depends on many factors. In the UK, burial and cremation can work out the same - sometimes burial is cheaper.
