Lehigh County Will Throw Your Dead Body In the Trash

Everyone knows that if you don’t have any friends or family and you die for whatever reason, then you’re just going to end up thrown in some shitty grave and that’s that.

But, what if you DO have friends and family and they just don’t like you enough to give you a proper burial? Well, firstly, that sucks a whole bunch and secondly, you’re going to end up throwin in some shitty grave and that’s that.

Or, you are going to be dissected by some medical students.

When he’s not determining the cause and manner of someone’s death, Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim and his deputies are trying to find the loved ones of the dead.

That task, Grim said, has been getting harder to do.

In recent years, both Grim and his counterpart in
Northampton County say they’ve witnessed an increase in the number of unclaimed bodies handled by their offices. It’s not that next of kin can’t be found, Grim said, but that more people are refusing to handle a relative’s burial or cremation.

In Lehigh County, an unclaimed body is given a ”no frills” $1,000 funeral at taxpayers’ expense at the county-owned cemetery in South
Whitehall. In Northampton County, the bodies are donated to science.

Grim said his office has buried 29 bodies at the cemetery in the past two years. Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek said he has donated more than a dozen bodies this year.

”We are seeing a significant increase in unclaimed bodies, not necessarily locating the next of kin, but finding someone to handle the final disposition of the body,” said Lysek, who could not provide numbers of bodies donated to science because, he said, his office does not keep a record of them.

Lysek said there are about two cases a week where he and his staff have to work extra hours to find a relative willing to claim a body. The task includes scanning police databases, Internet search engines and obituaries, talking to neighbors, co-workers or anyone else who might have known the dead. If he still can’t find a relative, he asks the media to put out alerts to locate the next of kin.

Lysek said if he is unable to find next of kin five days after a body comes to his office, the body is donated to an anatomical gift program. Lysek said the county gets no money for the donations.

Man, life is cold and cruel, isn’t it?

I want to be creammated and have my ashes sprinkled into high end body lotion and then sold to hot chicks so I can become one with their skin and then haunt them from the beyond!

RAR I’m the Lotion Motion Ghost and I’m haunting you from WITHIN!!!!
