The Manzanar cemetery was a long way from Mt. Williamson. Japanese would never bury one of their loved ones in the condition the remains were found.



Not to mention that Shepherd Pass is an 11 mile hike one way with 6000ft of elevation gain. Not exactly the kind of trek you want to make while carrying a corpse. And that’s the hiking distance and elevation gain from the Shepherd Pass Trailhead. Manzanar is a good deal further and adds a couple of thousand feet of elevation gain.
