Correction: No funeral director would cannibalize his profits fro the sale of overpriced coffins by offering a slightly used one. I think the Oswald family abandoned they property and made no effort to recover it. I figure, though the funeral home will settle this out of court and give a substantial share of the windfall to the Oswalds and their attorney.

A burial plot is purchased with maintenance of the grave and upkeep in perpetuity built into the purchase price. One could hardly call a grave and it's contents abandoned property?

If a disposition of the items resulting from a court ordered exhumation of the grave was needed by any party to the plot purchased, legal notice requiring a response would be required.

But will that money go to the brother or the wife/kids?
