To give clarity, the mortuary attendant explained that, most times, the clothes removed from the body of a deceased person are burnt.

He said:

"Today I want to address an issue, a very serious issue, most especially for morticians. It has caused a lot of problems. The issue of the clothes a person wears to the mortuary. Some of them don't want to take them home, while some of them actually forget that they can take the clothes home."
"You see those clothes, they can cause issues for morticians and even family members. Some of them actually think that they use the clothes for something, maybe some spiritual stuff."
"The real truth about this is that, you see the clothes they bring to the mortuary, what we usually do with them is that when we remove the clothes, we burn them. They have no use because when they start piling up, they'll start smelling, so that's why we burn them."
