On the topic of how they'd cremate or bury him...
When I worked at a hospital with a morgue (my current hospital doesn't have one), I used to do morgue calls. My coworkers would always pass those off onto me because I had experience with autopsies and shit in university, so it didn't gross me out.
Anyway this one time, I get into work and get a morgue call. Immediately everyone is like "oh hell no, metalparakeet is doing it." Even though I typically did them anyway, I was suspicious by how everyone recoiled and absolutely refused instead of just asking me if I minded taking over like they usually did.
So whatever. I go down all cautious and low and behold, there's a dude a bit thinner than Asanti laying out in the open. And I could immediately tell by the smell that he had probably been outside the freezer for the majority of my 3 days off work.
He didn't fit in the regular freezers and the double wide had two bodies. Since it was a holiday weekend, none of the bodies were really being picked up fast enough so they had no choice but to just let the dude sit there outside the freezer.
So let's hope Steven's hospital is a bit better equipped
