∙ 10y agoCarters would go through the streets with wagons and people would just toss their dead in. The carters would then take them away for cremation. The song "Ring Around the Rosy" is based off this concept. The "pockets full of posies" were like nosegays; people would cram their pockets full of flowers in a vain attempt to block the smells of illness and rotting corpses. "Ashes, ashes" referenced the mass cremation of the dead. "We all fall down" was a grim reminder of the fact that the singers were likely to be next in line to die. And now we sing Barney.
The black corpses were mainly burried, but the mortality rate was so massive in the Black Plague, they eventually left the bodies out in the open. Some were used in warfare by being catapolted into villages to infect the enemy.

What happens with the dead people that had the black death?
In modern times, those who die from bubonic plague (the nominal cause of the Black Death) have their bodies treated as a biological hazard (which, frankly, they are), and afforded special treatment. In more developed countries, the usual recommendation for burial is to be cremated, though use of a sealed metal casket is also possible for those who don't believe in cremation. In less developed countries, cremation is generally the method used to dispose of the dead person's body, with it being done very promptly to prevent any infection from spreading. Historically, part of the reason that the Black Death was so bad was that proper disposal of dead bodies was poorly done. Often, the dead were left out in the street for "burial crews" to come and pick up; these crews had a high rate of infection themselves, and insufficient numbers in these crews meant that is was common for bodies to be left for several days by the roadside. Additionally, most bodies were simply buried in the ground, without even a coffin, let alone a metal-lined one (and cremation was spotty).

What church does baptisms for the dead with fabreze since they are all dead and stinky?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) performs baptisms for the dead. However, these baptisms are done by proxy - meaning a living person stands in for the deceased and is baptized in their behalf. There are no dead bodies involved, and therefore no febreeze or air fresheners of any kind.

How were bodies of dead soldiers prepared for burial in World War 2?
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.
