        I’m pretty sure they throw the bodies into the hopper for the replicators right after the funeral.

            Kinda? “Matter replicators” show up properly in TNG, but then “food synthesizers” got added to the pre-TOS lore by way of Discovery and SNW.

            Yes but they had some sort of food machines so I think they could replicate on a limited basis.

        That’s what the transporter buffer is for. If you could guarantee always having power and error checking, doesn’t it make sense to use the transporter holding pattern for just about everything?
