oh shit I just realized they could make so much moey by selling dead bodies to medical school or whatever and gave families random ashes, although they should be smart enough to give them ashes instead of soil.

Medical schools are not gonna risk buying illegal bodies from undertakers. It’s not the 1700s that would be fucking insane if they did that.
