These bones are obviously haunted if the guy kept washing up on shore. He wanted to be found. Like that movie ‘Stir of Echoes’ with Kevin Bacon. I would not want those bones either. Glad the guy can be laid to rest.
Then they should have kept his remains in a display box. They could tell the kids that this was their GGGGrandfather and charged the gullible $10 each to see the bones.
