This is the real Els. I have to say I find the MoLAS "system" completely horrific. Human remains - and I say this not just as an osteo - should be treated with more respect. It's not, and shouldn't be, a wham bam thank you ma'am affair, cranking out 2 skeletons a day for maximum output. This is irreplaceable heritage, and the mortal remains of people. A person is not a pot, and never will be. I'm not saying we should be holding mass over the gravesite (although if people want to do that, that's cool with me, presuming the deceased were Catholics), but a whack 'em out attitude is out of place.
