Captain Sprinkle explains that if a body is to be transported to a church for services the next of kin must sign for it at the depot and assume burial responsibility. Government payment for returning a service member’s remains is about 675 dollars, covering casket and case. Delays arose from steel shortages for 278 thousand caskets and outer shipping cases. Relatives’ questionnaire order depends on record verification progress across 203 temporary cemeteries, with initial remains from seven cemeteries in Hawaii and one in Belgium.
