What is the percentage of dead people in Germany?

With respect, this question doesn't make sense. In Germany, as in most countries, there are strict laws about how soon after death a corpse must be buried or cremated, so the notion that there is a significant percentage of the German population lying around waiting to be buried is bizarre.


What is the significance of a girl after death of being a Muslim girl?

The issue is typically not for "identifying" the dead person, because as we all know that is not what people should be worried about. In Islam, the person must be buried and relatively soon after being discovered dead. In Hinduism, the body must be cremated. This creates a need to know what religion the person was so that he/she can be buried quickly if he/she is Muslim.
