Depends on how long the dead has been there. Most of the blood especially if the body is already opened..it will clot and this could be collected and dumped into infectious waste container and brought to a large autoclaving machine.For some areas with poor sanitation, yes they will just drain it and goes to the sewage system. Some also do this but it will be under running water & flooded with bleaching or antiseptic solution. Hope this helps.

Where do you think blood sausage comes from? OK I was kidding, I don't know the answer with certainty but I believe the blood is removed and replaced with embalming fluid. It would have to be disposed of as any biological waste would be and it can not be sent down the drain. My guess would be that it burned.
Now where do severed limbs and organs go after removal?

I'm actually sure they do drain it. They definitly remove it , so the logical thing would be to get rid of it, and i imagine it would go to a processing plant of some type due to the fact that blood product is considered biohazardous.

All the blood is drained from the person into a container which is then bagged and autoclaved.

most instances they will drain the majority of the blood and "review" it. if it's oaky then they'll add it to the stockpile of blood reserves. some of it will drain into the sewers but I believe they do keep it for the most part.

That would be part of the embombing process. I am not sure what they really do with it. This is a very good question and would be very valuable to society.

I think this depends greatly on what part of the world you're in and the health and sanitation systems in place.

It's collected and processed/destroyed as biomed waste. Same happens after each surgery, delivery, etc.

The blood clots within the body. It is not removed - it is buried with the owner.

Blood clogs inside of you. Why would they take it out?
