Are mass-graves next? Just an open trench filled with body-bags... side-by-side... stacked like cordwood several layers deep... then covered with massive earth-movers and bulldozers?

Some morticians have even started embalming bodies that wouldn’t normally need the procedure so they don’t have to refrigerate them, the Idaho Statesman reported.

Embalming bodies that don't need it? I suppose that's a quick stop-gap solution, but even THAT won't last indefinitely and it certainly won't keep the spike in bodies from continuing to grow.
