I'm sure most of the passengers on board were either American or Canadian, but what you have to remember is that most of the victims were actually unknown and couldn't be identified.

An interesting read - http://museum.gov.ns.ca/mma/titanic/victims.htm


Those that were successfully recovered from the Atlantic were taken back to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where a temporary morgue was set up in a curling rink to aid families in the identification and claiming of the remains of loved ones. A small percentage of these bodies were successfully identified and claimed by families for burial. Many more were either unclaimed and/or identified and were buried in several local cemeteries in Canada. Those who were unidentified were buried under grave markers that often listed only a body number and date of death (April 15, 1912).


That was taken from a Yahoo Answers page.

ty sindher, guess ill be using yahoo answers from now on! (looks sheepishly :P)

also reason was that the relatifes had to take then back to europe... so most of the ppl didn't had money to bring them back for a proper funeral.
this you also can find in a docu show about the real Jack Dawson

but there was no real jack dawson on board the titanic, just joseph dawson, who wasnt a passenger but a trimmer...
