I imagine that would be one of those jobs that is very interesting at times, very sad at times, and very disturbing.
I saw a documentary awhile back about these investigators that work for Los Angeles County. When someone dies and doesn't have an easy to find next of kin to notify, these investigators take over and try to find family to claim the remains/belongings of these people.
One of the cases was really sad. A trucker had a heart attack and died in a hotel. No foul play suspected, he was in his 50's, overweight, and living a poor health lifestyle. They started looking and found out he may have a son, but they couldn't find him. After a few months, his body was cremated then after a few years with no luck his ashes were put in a large, mass grave with all the ashes from the other unclaimed bodies that year. It was sad to see this guy died and soon after it was like he never existed and very few people even cared.
It looked like one of those jobs that would be very intersting, but also very sad.
