What is the point of returning dead bodies ? Suppose I die in Timbucktoo or the south pole, bringing me back would incur heavy expense leaving fewer millions for my family to inherit.

Besides dead bodies are likely to stink. In general, visiting a graveyard is no fun. Surely its better to just leave them wherever they expired.
