The same would probably happen today too, except the government would confiscate it and demand taxes be paid and probate.

Heads up if you have access to used clothes, furniture, etc

So, a man with three grand was buried without his comfortable pants.
Wonder if they passed a hat for a tombstone collection when the crowd was there before the money was found, how much they would have given....
Belated kudos to the undertaker.
