Well, this is a topic that many don’t even want to discuss… However, if there is a major breakdown in society or a huge major disaster, man made or not, could be a reality in an urban or suburban situation. Handling dead bodies is something that I have thought about but have not put much thought into. But with a “little” bit of research I was able to find some basic information that makes sense in a SHTF situation. It will help you prepare for handling and burying correctly as to not taint your water supply, etc.
Here are a couple of the resources:
