In the Navy, the body was wrapped in canvas and a shell from one of the large guns was placed in it to help the body sink. On land, the bodies had dog tags removed for identification purposes, and to notify the family back in the states of the death. Then the bodies were simply buried. There was no embalming done, but occasionally the bodies were placed in coffins. Sometimes they were buried where they lay and later exhumed and placed in commemorative battlefield cemeteries.
