Make sure you double-check where you send Grandma after she dies. Apparently, not everyone in the funeral home business follows the rules.
Investigators revoked a Maryland funeral home's license when they discovered a very gruesome sight in the garage: piles of dead bodies in body bags oozing bodily fluids. They were supposeded to be awaiting cremation and this is where they were stored instead. Some of these bodies were also donated to a university for scientific reasons, says Hari Close, president of the State Board of Morticians and Funeral Directors.
I think I can speak for many when I say that what Chambers Funeral Home & Crematorium did was wrong on so many levels. Not only it is unethical to just leave bodies lie in a garage unprotected and unpreserved in any way, knowing they are somebody's loved ones, but it's very disgusting to have them rot that much. It's a health hazard at that point. And what's more, "when invesigators inspected the funeral home they were warned by an employee, who told them, "Don't get upset about all the bodies in there," according to documents released by the state funeral board." Ummmm....yeah, when the employees aren't disturbed by rotting corpses in the back room, something's wrong.
