Then how do they bury the person without any money!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Think of all the people in the wars who were never found! they wernt buried! they only live on in spirit Www@QuestionHome@Com The saddest story about dying without a funeral was when James Jordan, father of basketball legend Michael Jordan, was killed in his car in North Carolina and his body was taken across the state line into South Carolina and dumped in a swamp!. When his body was discovered and no one claimed it (because no one thought to tie the disappearance of Jordan Sr to a body in SC), the county went ahead and had him cremated three days after he was found!. When authorities finally linked the Jordan disappearance to the body found in the swamp, the family had no chance for a formal goodbye!. They could remember him as he was and come together for that!.
