corpse disposal

Corpse disposal involves the procedures and methods used to respectfully and hygienically handle a deceased person's body. This may include transportation from the place of death, preparation for burial or cremation, and final disposition of remains. Common methods are burial, where the body is interred in the ground, or cremation, where it is burned to ashes. Legal protocols ensure respectful treatment, proper identification, and documentation. Disposal methods vary based on cultural, religious, or personal preferences, and are usually coordinated by funeral or mortuary services to ensure dignity and public health safety.
