骸 - Dead Remains
Think of Dead Remains as the wild boar of the zodiac (亥) pointing to the on'yomi 'gai,' laid beside the obvious Bone radical; together they form the word in 遺骸 for human remains. In the old calendar 亥 marks the year's close, so picture a boar quietly standing guard over bones at the end of a journey.
