Bodies of 50 infants and 6 adults found dumped at Trinidad graveyard

This usually happens with extreme poverty, where you can’t afford a burial. It is perfectly legal for the morgue to release a dead body to relatives, they take it home with them in a car, then have a wake at home and after it proceed to drive it into a cemetery to find a spot and dump the body, because they can’t afford a proper funeral and the costs of interring a body and are hoping the cemetery will bury them for free. I went to a cemetery once, out of the country, and was told to open the trunk at the entrance gate, so they could verify I didn’t have any bodies to dump illegally. Went to the pauper section and it was sad. None of those wooden markers would last more than a six months out in the open, and there were about three bodies or four per day for every single calendar day, according to the day of death for each. Mostly Young men and women.
