Hello my friends. I cannot help but ask myself this question "what will happen to a homeless person after it dies?". I mean, does someone bury him with the traditional ceremonial practice or he is simply sent to a morgue and incinerated or is it something else?
It makes me sad when I see homeless people on the streets barely capable of walking and perhaps on verge between life and death. Does any of you have any idea what will happen to a homeless person after it dies?

In India they are taken to Local Mortuary and if no body claims the body within the stipulated time under the permission of police and legal proceedings the body is donated to Medical colleges where it will be used by the students to study the anatomy and pathology! Thanks!

in my state if they aren't claimed in a certain length of time they're cremated and buried on state land set aside for the purpose.

@Cristi_Ichim i think they put a number on the grave and if a friend or relative comes forward with a name then they put one on.

In my country they are buried in a plot where there are many people. No names.

@Cristi_Ichim In a hole in the ground, but with an urn provided by the government.

But due to the fact that the gender could be either one, I said "it" because otherwise I would have had to say "he / she" every time which is annoying.

@Cristi_Ichim You can say "they" or "them". So "What happens to a homeless person after they die?" is correct.
