10. What if someone dies in space, will there be a burial? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

No one has ever been buried in space, or had their body released into space after death. For future long-term space travel, people may decide to perform burials-in-space much like burials-at-sea, in which a body is released from a ship in a casket. Or they may decide to do cremations and scatter a dead person's ashes into space.
