You can smell dead bodies pretty far in warmer weather. And you are going to dig a trench? Mass grave.


I suggested in the cemetary string,

Abandoned mine shafts or caves or holes, even abandoned wells. Basements and cellars of old demolished buildings, sewers, turning them into a sort of crypt. As Grae said buildings that are ruined and then just burn them, a small gully or depression is good, all you have to do is cover it.

At sea or at lake if its a LARGE body of water, just make sure you put them in a proper container and weight. This was done after the Super Huricane that devestated Galveston in the 1920s. They took the bodies out to sea and dumped them. However, they were not tied to weights, so many came back on the tide.

If you have a large enough flowing river, send them down stream and let someone else worry about it. Although this could contaminate your water supply.

Those are the only quick and easy options I can think of.

Where it is practical to dig a mass trench style grave in my view would be in a sandy desert where the digging is easy, or in a arctic enviroment where it never melts, although this could be difficult as well. Another fairly easy way is to burry them in rocks, it is easier than digging and a bit quicker.


Or, build a wooden platform and leave them like the early native american custom and as they do in india. Just wrap them and put them on a platform exposed to the elements.

Burning could be easier if you had a good supply of say grass or reeds you could make bundles and continuously place bundles of them for fuel. When you have the platform filled with people you light it and have a mass burning. The downside, will it be enough to burn the remains?
