How do dead people exit hospitals?

Question

I’ve never seen a dead person be wheeled out of a hospital in my life. How do they sneak them out without the carnival of spectators?

I used to do “pick ups” when I worked for a funeral home. That included picking up bodies from hospitals. We used a standard minivan with no 2nd or third row and we’d back up to a loading dock area. We’d take our stretcher and either go to the hospital morgue or we’d wait for the body to be brought to the hallway just inside the loading dock doors. The body would be inside a black body bag so nobody could see anything. We’d load the stretcher into the van and drive back to the funeral home. We’d back into the garage so we could unload in private. The garage had an extra wide door leading to both the embalming room and cold storage room so the body could be placed appropriately.
