Families should be able to claim bodies and take them to mortuaries...They will have to decide whether to bury their loved ones or cremate them...

Speaking of mortuaries...Last year, I spoke with a gentleman who worked in a mortuary. He prepared bodies for burial. He had a California state license for that job. He did tell me about one time a saleman, at his mortuary, sold a casket with a huge markup. It was sold to a grieving family...

I think the bodies of Kobe and Gianna will be moved to a mortuary in the middle of night. A TV station showed a truck, carrying remains of the helicopter, traveling on 134 freeway. Does Kobe's family want TV coverage of Kobe's body being transported? Maybe not...

Coroner's office,near Downtown LA, has all the bodies.

Again, I really feel sorry for the families... It is one thing if a person collapses at home and then dies...I think that getting killed out in the middle of nowhere is worse...DNA testing was needed for some of the bodies...Very sad indeed...

It is heartbreaking to see how much family was lost in 1 accident. Look at the names and ages. These families are morning multiple loses. My heart hurts just imagining their sorrow. May God bring his A game for these. Lord knows that for them, this is when and where prayers matter the most.

Every casket is sold to a grieving family at a high markup. It's how mortuaries make most of their money. Mortuaries are struggling these days, though, because so many more people are choosing cremation.

Definitely a closed casket burial.

First question why the hell would anyone fly in a helicopter in the fog when a warning was given.
