Encyclopedia Britannica



CORPSE (Lat. corpus, the body)

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 192 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORPSE (Lat. corpus, the body) , a dead human
body
 . By the common law of
England
  a corpse is not the subject of
property
  nor capable of holding
property
 . It is not therefore
larceny
  to steal a corpse, but any removal of the coffin or grave-cloths is otherwise, such remaining the property of the persons who buried the
body
 . It is a
misdemeanour
  to expose a naked corpse to public view, to prevent the burial of a dead body, or to disinter it without authority; also to bury or otherwise dispose of a dead body on which an inquest ought to be held, without giving notice to a
coroner
 . Anyone who, having the means, neglects to bury a dead body which he is legally bound to bury, is guilty of a
misdemeanour
 , but no one is bound to incur a debt for such a purpose. It is
incumbent
  on the relatives and friends of a deceased person to provide
Christian
  burial for him; failing relatives and friends, the duty devolves upon the parish. No corpse can be attached, taken in execution, arrested or detainedfor debt. See further BODY-SNATCHING, and BURIAL AND BURIAL ACTS.
