I wonder if including the last name "Kent" on Tess's coffin was a wise idea. I could see that coming back to cause trouble.
Possible, but unlikely. She's buried 50 miles from the nearest district (and people aren't supposed to leave their districts), plus wood is biodegradable and would eventually disappear.

"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
