This is the best summary I could come up with:

A smattering of nondescript storage containers sit nestled on a concrete slab in a back alley in St. John’s, taking up a couple of hundred square feet between the Janeway children’s hospital and Memorial University’s school of medicine.

The Department of Children, Seniors and Social Development said in a statement that it handed out grants to about 360 people in 2022-23, totalling about $990,000 in benefits.

Current laws don’t fully cover death by natural causes or lay out who has the authority to dispose of bodies.

Health Services were to unilaterally decide to cremate a body, it’s possible a relative might come forward after the fact to claim that’s not what the person wanted.

The Department of Children, Seniors and Social Development has a nine-page form for people who are not receiving income support to fill out.

Bodies that go unclaimed by next of kin will be handled by an appointed public trustee, who may eventually send them to a funeral home.
