If someone is clearly dead, and can't find the body, is there still a funeral?

Yes. It happens frequently in murder cases. It's more of a memorial though.

if they are corpses, no

you could consult public records for the city/town they were living in at the time of death, you could check church records if you know where they attended church

I would guess No...\n\nThis is because once your dead, your tissues, muscles, nerves , and organs aren't functioning.\n\nThis could be true if it were a couple seconds after his death... because it would be closely remniscent to a story where someones head got chopped off, andd he could see his own body from the ground. And that is a true stroy since your nerves in your head continue to funmction for a couple of seconds more...\n\n~LG23~

Usually you are taken to the funeral home. Then you are either buried or cremated.

Well theres one sure answer:\n\nIf that person is already dead.

They help you decide on the details for the funeral and burial (or cremation), the obituary, choosing a casket, arranging for flowers, and who will officiate.  All of this happens at a time when it can be very difficult to make decisions, and "little things" can be easily overlooked.  At my mother's funeral, my sister had forgotten to make copies of the directions from the funeral to the house (where people would be gathering afterward), so the funeral director had someone run off the copies for us.

No, there is no reason for underwear on the deceased.\nAll that is supplied is their outer garments.\nIf the body is too big for the casket, there will also be an absence of shoes.\nYet, again it also can depend upon the requests of the next of kin to the deceased or who is paying for the services as well.

To the morgue or funeral home?

Depending on what branch of service the recently deceased is from, usually that is set up by them. If you have to do it yourself get a hold of the persons supervisor or who ever they worked closely with. Also make sure that the will doesnt state not to have a military funeral as it is punishable by law to break the will of a military deseased.

I told them that the person they asked for had died and today was the funeral.

Well that's up to the kids. Do you mean as far as a burial or cremation? I mean what are you asking? If the person had nothing when they died there is nothing for the kids to get but debt when they bury them. If the Kids don't want to do that the state will put them in a paupers grave some place.

This is usually a responsibility of the local government (city, town or county). At least, when we lived in the Chicago area it was.\n\nWhen the unclaimed body is recovered, and an autopsy shows it will not be required as evidence, the relevant information is recorded and it is buried in a publicly maintained cemetery (depending on the locality, they may have a clergyman recite before the burial). The grave site is maintained with some sort of accounting number, so that later if someone has come forward they can claim the body, it can be exhumed and taken to the family plot, or family funeral home, etc.\n\nThis is often used in the case of runaways, or homeless or people who have become badly addicted to something and have dropped out of society.

Yes, you can make that request, but it's up to the pertinent authorities to decide whether your request is granted or not. This decision will depend greatly on the circumstances surrounding the demise. If the deceased had a history of a terminal or life-threatening disease, and there's no evidence suggesting that foul-play or medical malpractice was involved, then an autopsy will not be necessary. If the person died under suspicious circumstances [suspected homicide, suicide or drug overdose], the person was alone or unattended at the moment of death, any kind of violence such as child abuse, domestic violence or signs of other criminal activity is involved or suspected, or the cause of death cannot be established by an external examination of the body, then an autopsy is in order. It is also mandatory if a person dies in a hospital less than 48 hours after being admitted for treatment.

Ohh.. how about a coffin?

Different states have different laws on this issue.  Your remains will be cremated after they are used as teaching tools for up and coming doctors.  It's fascinating!  The people I have known who did donate themselves were very sick; many surgeries and disease processes that will educate others.  It doesn't cost anything where we live and they come to get the body once that person has passed on.  They are very respectful.  Most folks have a memorial ceremony because they really don't have a time schedule on the use of the cadavar.  You can call the state you're in to find out more; or even call a hospice facility about body donation and they give you more detailed information.  Godloveya.

Typically, you need to be aware whether this person who dies leaves a will or not. Even if there are no immediate family memebers, people leave wills. If they die "as is", i.e. w/o a will, they die "intestate". Most likely, in such circustances, the local municipality/cour-appointed trustee will send the letter to the bank to release the info on assets of the deceased. The proceeds ( (if any)will then be distributed to pay-off state-sponsored funeral expenses/cremation...The left-overs will "go to the government coffers" -central banking units- until claims by rightful owners (that can sometimes materialize) can be made. There is a whole procedure for that - for the unclaimed bank deposits...It is regulated.
