At the start of the meeting, did Jay know that he was meeting someone?
At the start of the meeting, did Jay know that the person he was meeting was his father?

YES to all.
Was it a visit to a cemetery?
Did Jay found out that his father was dead recently?
Did Jay receive a message from his dead father?
Before the meeting, did Jay know that the meeting would be unusual?
Was Jay attending a funeral?
Was dad’s corpse somewhere else besides a funeral or cemetery?
Was dad’s corpse mostly intact?
YES
kk
Was what Jay was doing illegal?
Was he digging his dad up because the cemetery was overcrowded? (I just heard a thing on This American Life about how this is a normal thing in Greece)
Did he dig the body up and take it elsewhere?
Is their relationship while dad was still alive relevant?
Is anything about dad’s life relevant?
kk
Had Jay been searching for his dad?
In re:
Does “recently” refer to Jay’s discovery and *not *dad’s death?
Did Jay not know his dad was dead at the time they got together?
Was dad buried at that particular cemetery by mistake?
Did Jay relocate his dad’s grave to their family plot?
Was Jay a grave robber?
NO
Was Jay “meet” in the same way with other people?
Was Jay recovering a body (bodies)?
So Jay knew his dad was dead, but wasn’t actively searching for him when he found him. Correct?
Dad wasn’t buried the first time by mistake. Did somebody else arrange for dad to be buried at the first cemetery?
Did Jay’s dad and another dead person happen to have the same name?
Was the dad cremated?
NO
Is this a specific real situation with specific real people? (I’m going to guess yes or you wouldn’t be uncertain if mom was his biological mom- you would just make it up one way or the other)
Was this within the last century or older?
Was dad famous?
Was dad a religious or political figure?
Military?
Was Jay famous?
Was he re-buried under the ground somewhere else?
Was he put on display? Like the body itself, not the marker.
Do people who are unrelated to dad and never knew him visit his grave?
If the body WAS intact, that implies it isn’t at the end. Is that correct?
Would it be less intact simply because exhuming a body can do some damage to it or was it deliberately dismantled?
