I teach the law of stuff (Property), dead people (Funeral & Cemetery Law), & dead people's stuff (Trusts & Estates). I like a good theme.

Tanya Marsh joins Ben for a conversation about recent developments in the legal-social-political nexus of dead bodies; the controversy surrounding the acquisition and treatment of human remains in American museums and what we’ll simply call “the Harvard morgue case.”

Professor Tanya Marsh (@TMAR22) took her Funeral and Cemetery Law class (the only course of its kind taught in the US) on a field trip to the Salem Moravian Graveyard where they learned about Moravian burial practices.

Getting ready to speak at the Federal Trade Commission’s workshop re proposed updates to The Funeral Rule with @KatrinaSpade & @TMAR22
Tomorrow we’ll be speaking at the Federal Trade Commission’s Funeral Rule Workshop (aka “Funeral Coachella” or the “Funeral Super Bowl”) about the proposed updates to the Funeral Rule-an important regulation that protects your rights.

"Death is the ultimate human problem. And we're always gonna have to deal with it," she said. "And so people are just gonna continue innovating and coming up with these new and interesting ways … [to help us process grief."

What are the laws regarding the status, treatment and disposition of human remains? @WFULawSchool prof Tanya Marsh (@TMAR22) is often asked about this, especially when stories like the Harvard morgue case are in the news. Her answers are often surprising.

"By my count, the sale of human remains is broadly and expressly illegal in only eight states: Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia."
