Jeff,
First: apologies for confusing you with Jonah, author of the posting
before yours.
It's one thing to be moved when encountering human remains - wondering
what life the person lived; what s/he saw, felt etc. (I surely do that.)
It's another thing to think that any human remains, even if unclaimed by
anyone, must be treated as sacred in any way. I don't think - or feel -
that is necessary.
Beryl,
I support absolutely the care and repatriation of remains that are
specifically meaningful to anyone, especially those to whom ancestral
remains are precious.
As I understand it, all plasticized human body exhibits are shown with
the express permission of the individual given before death, and
sanctioned by relatives.
