At least 7,000 bodies could be buried on the University of Mississippi Medical Center campus, officials have estimated.The bodies are former patients of the state’s first mental institution and underground radar revealed that their coffins stretch 20 acres across campus where the school wants to develop, The Clarion-Ledger reported Saturday.School officials have ran into an issue in exhuming the bodies: cost. The newspaper reported that it could cost $3,000 to exhume and rebury each body, an effort that could cost up to $21 million.The school is looking for cheaper alternatives in handling the exhumations possibly bringing down the yearly cost to $400,000 over the next eight years. The school is also looking at possibly creating a memorial for the bodies and opening a visitors center and a lab to study the remains, the paper reported.“It would be a unique resource for Mississippi,” Molly Zuckerman, an associate anthropology professor at the school, told The Clarion-Ledger. “It would make Mississippi a national center on historical records relating to health in the pre-modern period, particularly those being institutionalized.”The Insane Asylum was completed in 1855 to move the mentally ill from chains in jails to better living conditions, though life in the institution remained harsh. The newspaper reported that of the 1,376 patients who were admitted between 1855 and 1877, more than one in five patients die

Other than a brief remembrance ceremony for the living to remember the dead I have never understood the veneration afforded to dead bodies. The person that occupied the body is long gone, it just a skin bag full of bones and rotting flesh. Exception to remember those that gave their lives defending our country.

I suppose they could collect the bones and burry them under a generic monument since their names are no doubt lost to history.

OTOH, if there is one possible Native American that is now sacred ground and should be fenced off and preserved for perpetuity. Sarcasm
