In the old days, babies like this would be named "Baby Doe" and laid to rest by the city. When the family is identified, the baby would join the family plot if that's the wish of the family. The family would have the right to name the baby if they wanted, too.
Today the little guy was laid to rest by some arrogant Christians who took on the right to name him and bury him:

Linda Znachko named the baby Moses, and her ministry, "He Knows Your Name" organized Saturday's funeral.
"I have dressed Moses in a white garment. I did that to symbolize his spiritual freedom that he know has with Jesus Christ," said Znachko.
Some Christian group was able to take possession of the body, give the baby a name, and conduct a service in their denomination. This just strikes me as so arrogant, yet the city released the baby to these people who have NO CLAIM to it!
grrrrrrr
I know that some so-called Christians will take issue with my anger about this but I don't care. This was a selfish selfish act conducted by self-congratulatory people who really believe they are doing something right... and of course let the cameras show it on television.
It's certainly possible to be respectful toward an unknown person's body without claiming it for Christ:
