Just wondering, no fuel for cremation - frozen waste and no place to dig, but if they could wouldn't the cold preserve the corpse forever?

on the approach of death, and usually when the group were ,breaking camp to move to other hunting grounds,they would leave the dying some distance from the igloos. grandmother/grandfather.! hypothermia would ensure that they would die gently, quietly. as for,preservance of the corpse! ,the polar bear would see to that ,eating the flesh, splintering the bones, licking the brains from the skull, it would very little evidence to study......such is life

Great question. I think they must have tucked them under an iceberg. Joking! But would be great to know the answer.

I believe they used burial mounds in many areas, pictures I've seen show them made out of rocks.
