How do they have funerals for people hit by trains?

[Phoenix]

I can't imagine there's very much of you left after jumping infront of a train? So do they just put the body parts found on the track in a coffin and bury/cremate?

I think they have funerals for everyone. Would be a closed casket though or cremation.

Yeah, I think this is most likely.

Sometimes when people are swept out to sea (and the body is never found) then they place personal belongings/tokens in the caskets instead.

I don't want a funeral. I've written at the bottom of my suicide note that if I have any say in what happens after I die, don't give me a funeral or make a big deal about my death, and that I would prefer an unattended direct cremation without a funeral. It's cheaper, no fuss, usually no need for embalming etc.

Sounds like a much nicer concept
