Interesting topic... From the Daily Sheeple... Wake the Flock up!
Regular burial will not be possible in a collapse situation
Following on from the articles (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/why-i-wont-be-charitable-when-the-shtf_102013) [2] I wrote earlier this week discussing the moral dilemmas (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/will-i-be-called-a-looter-a-forager-a-scavenger-or-just-a-common-thief_102013) [3] we will all face in the event of a societal collapse I have come to the conclusion that most of us think a good deal about the deaths that will follow such an event, but we rarely consider how to deal with the bodies.
I am not talking about the mass of corpses lying in the street, though that will be a concern. I am talking about the death of a family member or one of your survival group....
It’s going to happen, at some point someone in our family or survival group is going to die. Have you considered how you will deal with this?
Although any of the methods mentioned in Body Disposal Post Collapse will work they may not be the best methods of dealing with the body of someone you love. The death of a family member is at the best of times traumatic and not being able to give them the funeral they expected, or deserved is going to make it even more so.
It will be difficult dealing with your grief, and the grief of the rest of the family at the same time as coping with all the life or death issues that a total collapse will force upon us.
You need to consider this before an event takes place.
How you deal with it will depend on your situation. Are you in an apartment? Do you have acres of land? Even the weather will play a part, it’s impossible to dig in frozen ground.
Once again there is no one size fits all answer to this problem, there are too many variables for that. As unpleasant as it is you need to think carefully about your situation and environment and list how you would deal with the issue and the materials that you would need to do so.
Putting together a box for your ‘burial kit’ would be a good idea and means that you are not having to go through piles of preps to find what you need. We all like to think we are tough, but we will be affected, and anything you can do now to lessen the trauma and expedite a speedy solution is worthwhile. Dealing with the situation swiftly and competently will allow the family/group to move on together knowing they have done the best they can in the circumstances they find themselves in.
We all know that children are going to suffer greatly in a collapse. Personally I think that wherever possible they should be involved with proceedings should someone close to them die. To shut them out of it tends to leave them wondering what happened and fearful that they too will one day just vanish without a trace....
