They discovered the mismanagement by the smell. Apparently people were given fake ashes
State lawmakers gave regulators the authority to inspect funeral homes without the owners’ consent last year, but no additional money was provided for increased inspections.
But this way, politicians can say they addressed the problem when campaign time rolls around! The system works!
Its being handled by the FBI
This is not “mildly infuriating” and should be removed from this sub
This is way more common than you would think/hope. Not like it’s a large proportion of funeral homes or crematoriums doing it, but even 0.1% is a lot of bodies. Especially if it takes years for them to get caught.
Do you have a source
Not other than seeing stories like this pop up every few years ever since the first time a local story like this caught my attention, 20+ years ago. You can find many similar stories through Google.
Don’t like that
