What happens when there is no restoration?

NR: Being a little pedantic, I must correct you about your understanding of Easten European conditions. True that there remain huge numbers of classic farmsteads, but the cities' inhabitants have mentality that are at least as reliant as those of large English cities. More and more youngsters are being drawn to the cities and the rural environment is both de-populating and losing knowledge at a rapid rate.

RS: I'm with NR on the burial of bodies point. I feel that bodied of nearest and dearest would get dealt with appropriately. The only other bodies I would tackle would be those found in places that might create health issues for us. For instance bodies contaminating water supplies and those found in properties that were being appropriated.
The problem is manpower.
In the long term on would hope that human remains would be buried and cremated respectfully, But I cannot see it happening as a priority in the early stages.
