Imagine an astronaut died in space. What would NASA do to his dead body? There is no report of such an incident. Therefore, we can't tell exactly what will do to the dead body. Vladimir Komara is the only one person who was nearly survived from the dead in space.

According to the Book (An astronaut's guide to life on earth ) which is written by Chris Hadfield,  Nasa offers a training course to the astronauts before they go to space. 

Hiding a dead body in a locker is not a good idea because it does not control the bad smell, and it can cause physical and mental problems. Throwing the dead body to space is also not a good idea.

NASA and a green burial company have a great idea. In this method, they cover the dead body well using a bag and freeze it until it becomes a solid ice chunk. Then vibrate until it becomes powder and sent the dust to the earth.
