Questions about the bodies.... does anyone know how the victims were identified? How and when were survivors and families informed if their loved ones had been rescued or not rescued? And were coffins sent to families for burial?
 
(Disclaimer: I don't have my books on hand right now, so I'm basing everything off memory here)
does anyone know how the victims were identified?
When the bodies were collected the coroner made a note of their appearance and any distinguishing marks or personal effects, writing something like:

Male, between 20 to 30 in age. Probably second-class. Tall, golden hair. Wristwatch with initials L.M..

All this was used to help families identify their loved ones. Most of the time it was the listed personal effect(s) that confirmed the identification more than anything (for example, J.J. Astor's body was identified because the coat he was wearing had his initials on it.) Other times the descriptions were too sparse to be useful. One problem with this system (and this was decades before DNA testing) was that some of the bodies had been exposed to sun and water for so long that it was not possible to get an accurate age just by looking at the victim. For example, the body of a 20-year-old man might be listed as being in his fifties, if that makes sense.

Relatives of victims could identify their loved ones in a curling rink in Halifax where the bodies were temporarily kept.
How and when were survivors and families informed if their loved ones had been rescued or not rescued?
Even while the Carpathia was on its way to New York the survivors' names were already being written down and transmitted to the White Star offices in England. The survivors' names were posted outside their headquarters, and for days after the sinking friends and family of the passengers and crew would wait outside WSL offices hoping to see their loved one's name on the list. Again, this system caused a bit of confusion, because some passengers who had booked passage did not end up on the Titanic and some passengers were travelling under false/assumed names. The official 'victim list' came a bit later, I think, once White Star had a chance to compare the survivors' list against the passenger manifest.
And were coffins sent to families for burial?
The bodies were all packed for transportation back to Halifax, if that makes sense. Passengers were put in coffins, the quality of which varied by class; the bodies of crew were sewn up in canvas. Some of the recovered and identified bodies were returned to their families for burial, but most were interred at one of three cemeteries in Halifax: one Jewish, one Roman Catholic, and one Evangelist (?). These bodies were interred together in matching coffins as part of a mass burial/funeral. If I recall correctly, the burial costs were absorbed by the White Star Line as a gesture of goodwill (I may be wrong about this, someone correct me.) Some families might have had insurance policies that could cover the costs of the funeral and burial. There were also many charities and funds in place to help survivors and the families of victims with such costs.

Hello Lisa,



Of the 1496 victims a total of 335 bodies were recovered. Here is a detailed oversight I’ve written over the course of a few weeks.

RMS Carpathia:​

Four bodies were taken on-board the RMS Carpathia, these were the following people:
  • First class passenger William Fisher Hoyt (1869-1912): Was plucked from the sea by lifeboat number 14 under command by fifth officer Lowe, Mr. Hoyt was noted to have bled from the head when he was pulled on-board and died from exposure on the lifeboat.
  • Third class passenger David Livshin (1887-1912): Livshin managed to get on top of upturned Collapsible Engelhardt lifeboat B and later was transferred to lifeboat number 12. He died from exposure.
  • First class bedroom steward Sidney Conrad Siebert (1882-1912): Siebert jumped overboard together with a fellow first class bedroom steward, Andrew Orr Cunningham, and both swam and were plucked from the sea by lifeboat number 4 under command by quartermaster Perkins. Sadly Siebert died from exposure too.
  • Able bodied seaman William Henry Lyons (1886-1912): Lyons was picked up by lifeboat number 4 too and was even brought on-board the Carpathia alive. However he sadly died on-board from exposure he was exposed to in the water.
All four bodies were buried at sea on the 16th of April 1912.
