For context: Islam requires that dead bodies be buried by sundown, none of this “keep ‘em in the cooler until relatives can join the wake” et al. Faced with hundreds of corpses littering the grounds of the holiest shrine, getting the job done before dusk was urgent.
Nice to be part of a more considerate culture, one that (IIRC) just last week interred the remains of a WWII soldier, taking whatever pains & however long to arrange proper burial of our own.
Yes, it’s very, very nice. I didn’t know that the WWII soldier had been interred with due respect and dignity. Thank you for sharing that.
