A question about typical NA / East coast American funeral practices, my cousin is upset to hear that her brother has already been cremated, only 4 days after his death.

How unusual is this time frame?

Apparently there wasn't a ceremony and he just wanted to come back to Dorset to be interned with his parents, but doesn't look like his American family wants to come here for that, so I'm guessing one of his nephews will have to visit New Jersey to 'collect' him.

My father was incinerated within 72 hours after his death and the body traveled 600km.

I've been playing around with this map a lot lately. Its pretty cool.

Its a population density map of the world, with a twist that makes it so much more useful.
If you click on some urban areas it gives you a breakdown of how many people live at each density.

Its been observed for a while that population density on a national level is a nonsense number that doesn't mean much at all and there's moves afoot to measure this lived in population density instead. I approve. It really helps show the UK's problems (and LOL America).

Sadly its imperfect, the notes themselves recognise the Dutch and German data is trash and underestimates densities whilst some cities I'd really like to know about in the world are missing, then there's the small town factor which is where the UK really shines.

Thanks for the reply GF, seems customs are a bit different between continents.

Yeah, it's pretty common here to have a cremation without much if any ceremony. That can follow some time later.

The DA should go live in a monastery.

That's good news.

Gold heist at Toronto's Pearson airport

3600 lbs. That's a lot of suitcases

The DA should go live in a monastery.

She was already forced to step down from prosecuting the case after her appointed special prosecutor resigned because she was not legally allowed to prosecute as a state legislator.

Train wreck start to finish.

[HVC]

Guess she attained her goal of making a name for herself, just not in the way she envisioned.

Lol what? We like our low density.

Yeah, looks like they took all the built-up area and applied the average municipal density to it. I don't think that many people live in container ports and industrial areas

Hopefully for them.
