Funeral Home Behaving Badly

In July 2008, state inspectors discovered a gruesome situation when they inspected the Warren Funeral Chapel.  According to Alan Scher Zagier, Mo. funeral home dogged by lawsuits, complaints, Boston.com, Nov. 3, 2008, they

reportedly found a decaying woman’s body stored in an electrical room for 10 months without being embalmed or refrigerated. Inspectors also found a garbage bag filled with organs in the funeral home’s basement.

Seven more decaying bodies were found a week later, and several families have said that cremated ashes they received were not the remains of their loved ones or that bodies were embalmed rather than cremated, as required by contract.
