I know it isn't addressed in the cited work, but the article could benefit from answering some of the logistical questions raised by this blurb. Does the system notify a funeral home or next-of-kin to claim the body (with precautions for falsified information or users with no surviving kin)? If transportation is permitted, does this mean the system admins will head out into the wilderness to retrieve the pod, in potentially hard-to-reach and/or dangerous locations? If reuse is a factor, can the pod be easily be cleaned of post-death residues (and who has that job)? etc. ~ Eidako (talk) 20:40, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
