Claiming Bodies

When people have lost someone, they are vulnerable. They are "knocked for a six", and it is not a situation where they "know the ropes". But for some, there is money to be made if they can lay their hands on a dead body, and they take advantage of people's disorientation. A few times, I have come across what I thought to be unethical attempts to obtain a body -- by professionals, I thought, who were likely taking a cut from undertakers. I mentioned it to a well known undertaker. He said yes, this happens. OBSERVATION: Perhaps it's a matter of deciding what will happen before there is a death.
