" the disrespectful way the bones were handled."
In my human anatomy class, we are identifying bone markings using human remains..... I guess I didn't think of how I was treating these things that used to be apart of a real human being. We just turn 'em to and fro. Touch them, use pointers on them and place them in boxes when we are done. However, I can't think of not one way to treat them more respectfully.
They might have a "bone" to pick with you then. You could always ask them to pick the bone with you though.
