Seeing a hundred crows feasting on the body of a deceased family member would lead me to think of an alternative solution as well.

Perhaps, though that is almost exactly the "burial" practice of one of the oldest surviving organized religions in the world, Zoroastrianism (though usually it's vultures instead of crows in that area):
