Does anyone know if they are ever planning a final rest for this man’s body? Seems that we owe him that much after all of the history he has given up.

Very unlikely. Or would you likewise recommend stuffing Tutankamun back into his golden sarcophagus and “giving him a descent (re-)burial?”
“Ötzi” (”Similaun Man”) is beyond caring.
Excellent point. The last I read he was being kept in a refrigerated storage area. Perhaps after they are finished with their research, they will inter him properly.
The Italians built a special museum for Oetzi--The South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology. Oetzi took up residence there after the Italians won the custody battle for him.
