I don't think it is clear that they are able to retrieve it. Even if they were physically able, I would have just wanted to help when it was something that was a seemingly small amount of work. That's not a good situation for people to be in. Cut them some slack.

But, yeah, we agree on this situation being fueled by money.
Yeah I think the specifics of the scenario make a difference. If its just shallow water and they need to drag the body out, yeah I'd help. If it's an effort but the family are more than capable and just being superstitious, well why should I do something for them that they refuse to do themselves?

I would have still helped regardless. It isn't a huge task even if they could have walked into the water and pulled him out. Those people are in a bad state. Just help.

That's what I said.

"If its just shallow water and they need to drag the body out, yeah I'd help."

If it involves taking my boat out and the family have access to their own boat, they can hire me for my time.

That last part wasn't clear to me. If I could help w/o a boat, I'd do it no charge. If I could do it w/ a boat that they didn't have, I'd do it no charge. If I saw they had a boat they were prep'ing to go out and do it, I'd scratch my head as to why they were talking to me if they weren't obviously busted up.

the only person in this whole town that has a boat is this guy? Where were their actual friends in this time of need? Obviously if he has recovered over 500 bodies there is more wrong in this place than him charging to retrieve bodies. I would get fed up with it myself if 500 families expected me to stop working and retrieve their family member.

I would have helped them. I've handled a few corpses in varying states of decay or mutilation, and it gets less "gross" quickly Jesus X @Jesus X.

It's easy to sit in judgment, but we weren't there. All I know is that unless it put someone else in danger, I would have helped them. For free.
