QUESTIONS from “Joey Pals”
1. How are remains handled after exposure to the water/surge of the Hurricane in Florida? (Coroner’s office will handle them w/ dignity as usual. Divers are used if necessary.

3. The Governor of CA. has said that human remains can be used for compost. Is this true? (Still has to be legally accepted in the Community in which this would be done. To be continued.)
