Covid-19 has exposed the infrastructural defects of India. The worst picture was blatantly visible in the irregularities in the disposal of Covid infested dead bodies. This has brought a fundamental moral but most critically legal question- whether the right to a decent disposal of dead bodies is available in India or not. This research paper is thus a collative work on the legal regulation of disposal of dead bodies with insights from international regulations in general and India in particular.
