Burial of the unknown and unclaimed on Hart Island, New York City.

  1. Cremains today, whole bodies in the past, right?

  2. No. The boxes in the top photo are probably unclaimed children, or possibly body parts. The City of New York does not do cremations. It's one of the few cities that still buries the unclaimed dead.
